Launching a Cybersecurity Company or Serving Citizens—Exciting New Careers in Public/Private Sectors

ISACA LA offers a “Career Night” each October and we have two special sessions. Both the pre-meeting and dinner sessions will be moderated by Thomas Phelps IV, Laserfiche Vice President of Corporate Strategy & CIO. Both sessions are focused on career development and geared towards professionals and students.

3:00 Pre-Meeting Topic (3:30-5:30): Resume, Cover Letter and Interviewing Workshop

Do you want to get selected for a first round or second round campus interview with a great company? Are you an experienced professional with 10+ years of experience and have a resume that already looks like a novel, but hasn’t turned out to be a best seller?

Are you anxiously waiting for an email from the recruiter about that perfect job, and seeing your inbox lonelier than ever?

In today’s competitive job market, you need to stand out among a sea of thousands of resumes all competing to get noticed. If you need help brushing up your resume and cover letter, our annual Resume Writing Workshop is just the thing for you. This session will provide a highly-interactive and lively workshop where Thomas Phelps IV, a former PwC Recruiting Champion and now a Laserfiche corporate executive, will share with you his secrets for how he helped many people—from individual contributors to seasoned CIOs—get their resume noticed and find good jobs.

Managers from Big Four firms and industry leaders will be on hand to help review resumes and provide feedback. Bring your resume and if you’re comfortable sharing it with others in the audience, we will edit it in real-time on the main projector. Please send your sanitized resumes in advance by Friday, October 6, to [email protected] if you want to participate and have your resume edited in the workshop. Get ready to stand out and get noticed!

Dinner Meeting Topic (5:30-8:30): Launching a Cybersecurity Company or Serving Citizens—Exciting New Careers in Public/Private Sectors

We often follow traditional routes to achieve our career goals—whether it’s starting in an IT audit department or moving up the ranks in an Information Security organization and aspiring to become a CISO. However, there are many different paths to your ultimate dream job. As Robert Frost puts it, when you look at forks in your career, you can take the “one less traveled by” and often, that makes all the difference.

Our annual ISACA Career Night—moderated by Thomas Phelps IV, CIO of Laserfiche—will focus on several industry veterans who will share their story about how they achieved career success. The panelists will also discuss job opportunities at their organizations—and provide valuable insights on what they look for in hiring top talent.
