Highlights for the week
Not so much a highlight, but I can unequivocally say August 2nd is the day I've officially hit my career low. The job I manifested in wanted fell through, and there has been no new opportunities on the horizon. Monday (Aug. 7) I found myself trying to be helpful and empathetic, only to fail. The clock is ticking and the days are mounting. If I don't land something in the next two weeks, I will be in big trouble.
And then on Tuesday, a couple of wonderful things happened: scheduled an interview with a job, and my mentor sat with me through a Pen Test. Also mentioned a job opportunity :)
What We Loved
- As always grateful for having a wonderful family.
- Update! Had the first interview with CEO for the role of Security Consultant. Been on such a high all week!
What We Learned
- Sec+ - still moving through Secure Network module
- Android Autom. - paused!
- WebdriverIO - started
- TCM - blocked - can't seem to kick off docker/juice shop. May spectate through the walk-thru || Update (8/9) Unblocked and moving nicely through Juice Shop
- Cult.ure - moving along. Chapter 16 is really good.
What We Longed For
- Job, paycheck/benefits, friends
What We Loathed
- Gatekeeping! Perhaps ITA, but man oh man! Trying to help and getting shunted put me in a rage. In my head I'm all, "How about you tell me what is helpful!" but that would come off toxic. Heaven forbid I should offend sensibilities. I took the high road and exited that channel.
