I have worked as a security guard for 6 years, and I'm 34. After being laid off, I decided to move into cybersecurity, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Quebec, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for six months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

                            Stay strong, Nathan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

                            • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Quebec. I'll ask around and let you know
