Looking for a cybersecurity mentor: Waylon's career change at 53
A mentor in cybersecurity could help Waylon with a portfolio, interviews and first-job strategy.
Anywhere in the world710 views
I have worked as a retail manager for 15 years, and I'm 53. After being laid off, 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 interview answers, a realistic view of the job market in Auckland, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

- 45 minutes a month

Small businesses are the heart of Manukau. Hope you're open again soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
thanks for sharing this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you
You're not alone, Waylon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Allentown.
good luck, Waylon. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thinking of you, Waylon. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Manila
