Session
Let’s be real: your resume isn’t getting you the job. It’s just the ticket into the arena. The real boss battle? The interview itself. FIGHT!
This session is for anyone who’s ever left an interview and thought, “Well… that could’ve gone better.” We’re skipping the slide deck (except for some juicy memes) and jumping straight into battle-tested, no-BS advice on how to stand out in interviews and actually get hired. Whether you’re a brand new SOC analyst, a mid-career pivot-er, or someone who’s been ghosted more times than a mall perfume salesman - this talk is for you.
It’s not death by PowerPoint.
It’s a conversation.
With memes. Come laugh, learn, and leave ready to be the candidate they remember.
