I have worked as a retail manager for 11 years, and I'm 42. After being laid off, I decided to move into cybersecurity, and I have completed a bootcamp.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Queensland, 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.

Rooting for you. Hope the shop reopens soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Best of luck, Vijay. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Cairns
