Introduction to the Career Launch Pad

This is the master directory. Think of it as the front door for students who don’t know where to start, don’t know what’s normal in cybersecurity, and don’t know the etiquette differences that can make or break their job search.

  • Career Launch Checklist — A step‑by‑step sequence from “I don’t know where to start” to “I’m interviewing.”
  • Professional Appearance Guide — Business casual vs. interview attire, grooming, low‑cost options, and prep checklists.
  • Cybersecurity Career Map — The three‑column model Hunter Storm used on PBS: Operations, Governance/Risk, and Business/Support.
  • Networking & In‑Person Strategy — The real path to jobs: meetups, volunteering, internships, and local groups.
  • Resume & Portfolio Starter Kit — What to include, what not to include, and how to avoid looking like a bot.
  • Cybersecurity Etiquette & Culture Guide — The rules no one tells students: follow‑up norms, communication tone, and SE‑risk behaviors.
  • Skill‑to‑Role Translator — “If you’re good at X, consider roles Y and Z.”
  • Historical Walkthrough: Code Red Case Study — Hunter Storm’s PBS example: how a single infection touches every role in the three‑column model.
