Sneak peek of our credential redesign coming soon: - Instructor Certified = you submitted reports and humans reviewed them, these are hard and should stand out - simpler, cleaner, concise, no ambiguous artwork in the way - cert name and words are more industry appropriate - easier for employers and recruiters to understand, more professional We just kicked off the 1.0 of our personalized cybersecurity training and this deserved an update with it. Current holders will get the new badges with updated descriptions automatically. Questions about any of the certs? Ask away.

I’ve reviewed a lot of resumes over the years as a hiring manager and helped quite a few students land offers. One even got a job offer after I reviewed their resume live on stream. This Friday, July 17 at 12PM EST I’m doing another live resume review session. I’ll randomly select 3 to 4 submitted resumes and spend 10 to 15 minutes on each one. I’ll break down what’s working, what’s not, and what actually needs to change. Even if yours doesn’t get picked, there should still be useful takeaways. If you want your resume looked at, submit it by July 16 at 5PM EST here: forms.gle/7YXf7fkY1uYTwJSB7 This is always an interactive stream, so bring your questions and comments.
