Mentor wanted: moving from stay-at-home parent to cybersecurity

Seeking an experienced cybersecurity professional for guidance on the transition from stay-at-home parent.

I have worked as a stay-at-home parent for 18 years, and I'm 35. 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 capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Western Cape, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for three 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. Thank you for reading my story.
