Looking for a cybersecurity mentor: Oleg's career change at 32
Seeking an experienced cybersecurity professional for guidance on the transition from security guard.
Anywhere in the world1,400 views
I have worked as a security guard for 11 years, and I'm 32. After a health scare, I decided to move into cybersecurity, and I have completed an online certificate.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my resume and portfolio, a realistic view of the job market in Saint Petersburg, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

- 45 minutes a month
