Failing is definitely a good thing. You learn and grow from it. Since you shared this with us we learn from yours 🤙

[kennethkim]

Thank you Sandra for this video - If I were in my shoes, I would have felt reluctant to share failed story, but like you say 'you learn more from your failed interviews'. So again, thank you for sharing your experience!

[Lanae]

I just completed a third interview this morning for a Compliance Analyst role.

[Viralvial]

Thank you for sharing your go-through experience also best of luck for your future journey as well.😊

[ctjmaughs]

Great beginner video for those new into cybersecurity

[therana]

I also did exactly same as you mentioned on this video, latter they said “It’s more about coding related job rather than red teaming”, and I don’t have any coding experience so I’m out ..

[vignesh]

Cyber security interview are very diffrent and little hard than other interviews like coding and software developer

[jlprescott]

Thanks for sharing! It's difficult to know everything in cybersecurity. In a past interview that's non-IT related, I had a panel interview and the questions I was asked was scenario-based. Fortunately, I provided the answers that were acceptable, and I eventually got the job. However, I left the job after 6-months for IT manager position for another company. One question after the interview to ask is if there are other or future positions that you would qualify for based on your experience. Cheers!

Hi @Sandra! Do you do any 1:1 career consulting atm?

[yousif]

Yeah, the process at Google is interesting. It took me I think ~3 fails 😅 till I finally landed a cybersecurity role at Google.

[CertificationTerminal]

Thank you very much for sharing your interview experience and being +ve.
Could you tell for which position you've applied? Will the interview pattern/no.of rounds would change for senior positions?
How much weight would CyberSecurity certifications add value to get shortlisted? Thanks.

[TechwithLuca]

Thank you for sharing your story and all the insights

[ishwaryanarayan]

Does Mandiant also have same interview process like Google ? What are the rounds and knowledge we can expect for security analyst role ? Does they focus on programming languages ( leet code ) ?

[kamertonaudiophileplayer]

Do not feel bad being rejected from Google. They are a very questionable company with questionable innovations.

[Ginnttv]

i have the Google Cybersecurity Certificate can u tell me what to do next or if I can land a job or not?
with this cert.

[pritom]

Did the ask Data structure and Algorithm in your Interview?

[acidpoptartz]

Don't sweat it they laid people off just recently. They probably just don't really need people anymore at the moment.

[cybersecurity]

How did you land that first job? I heard you were in a rotational program. How can I do that?

[TeflonSheikh]

getting married in a few months, got laid off from a tech company, been applying since sure what I'm doing wrong, i had my resume reviewed and they said it was good, any other advice on how i can prepare for interviews?
