What kind of role do I want to train for? I like the idea of SOC (security operations center) Analyst. I don’t really want to go down the pentester role as that just seems to be testing web applications and not the infrastructure. I like the idea of being proactive and having some help from…

Now we prepare for a full-on year… I need to finish the Python course on udemy and start the discrete mathematics course on Alison. Oh and there is Christmas as well, I am expected to go out with mates in Leeds before and during the holiday period and I am well up for it.

Well I got in by way of this email this afternoon less than 24 hours since the interview

I know I did ok, but I cant stop thinking about things I could have said better. I know there is no point in going over what cannot be undone now but I cant stop thinking about it. We will find out in a couple of days if I was successful.

Well thats the interview done, I think I did OK but wont know for a couple of days. The written section of the test was on how books are falling out of fashion, I argued that it hasn’t and that demand for books are growing Now we wait for the results

I hope am ready because its too late if am not….. I am being told that I am ready so I should just trust what I am being told and chill out and just be yourself.

well am up and am studying the notes I took during the mock interviews and am reading cyber security news for things to possibly talk about … not gonna lie am bricking it but like I said before I know that I know what I am talking about… got a bottle of Kraken black cherry…

Thinking about tomorrow’s interview, I know I know what I am talking about its just a case of doing it clearly and concisely…. Keep it short and sweet… and you’ll be fine. early night tonight, get up in the morning and study the practice questions and read the cyber security news.

Well that went as well as I had hoped it would and they have said that I am ready for the final interview…..I just hope the person who is interviewing me is ok and understands that I may slip up a bit or might not I shouldn’t concentrate on how I am going to mess…

Am kind of getting used to doing these now so when I do the real McCoy next week at some point I will be prepared. I have learnt a few things already… 1, If your given 40 minutes to do something take 40 minutes to do it 2, Give short but sweet answers and try…
