I Asked Recruiter Why Entry Level Candidates Get Rejected

If you’re trying to land a cyber security job right now, you’ve probably noticed something confusing: Companies talk about “skills shortage”… and candidates talk about how difficult it is to land a job.

Hear it from people who are actually involved in hiring cybersecurity candidates.
