The Resume Hot Seat, Ep.1 🔥
🚨 From Resume Graveyard to Callback Machine: The Hot Seat, Ep. 1
Most people think they’re not landing cyber jobs because they “don’t have enough experience.”
Truth is, their resume is killing their chances before a human even sees it.
Last night we kicked off a brand new series: The Resume Hot Seat.
First victim? A guy who looked great on paper (Master’s in Cybersecurity, Security+), but his resume was deadweight. No focus, no proof, no chance, and ALMOST NO TRUTH!
In 20 minutes, we tore it down and rebuilt it into something that actually gets callbacks.
🎯 What We Fixed (Fast Takeaways)
🚫 Killed overlapping jobs & shady dates that tank trust
✂️ Cut fluff + formatting that broke ATS scanners
🔧 Showed him how to use AI tools to target the right roles
📂 Built a portfolio plan that proves skills > cert-chasing
By the end, his “please hire me” doc became a bulletproof entry-level SOC profile.

💡 How to Fix Your Cyber Resume (Before vs. After)
When John (redacted for privacy) sat down on the Hot Seat, his resume looked like every other cyber grad’s: too much fluff, vague claims, no proof of skills, and stories that didn’t add up. After 20 minutes, here’s how we transformed it:
🚀 Result
Instead of reading like an academic term paper, his resume now screams:
“I can step into a SOC queue tomorrow and start triaging alerts.”
⚡ Why This Matters
Most “entry-level” cyber jobs aren’t truly entry-level. Hiring managers are making risk-managed bets.
Your resume has one job: de-risk you.
That means:
Clean formatting (ATS-friendly)
Real-world projects that show proof of work
Experience reframed to highlight security impact
Clear availability + flexibility
When you package all of that, you stop looking like a hopeful student and start looking like a ready-to-hire analyst.
🎥 Watch the Breakdown
This was just one resume. In future episodes, we’ll tackle other real-world cases:
Gaps on the resume
Pivoting from IT to cyber
No degree but strong labs
…and more
