In this episode, we are focused on how to make yourself into an irresistible candidate for hiring managers. Today, Naomi Buckwalter, another hiring manager, joins Kip and Jason.

What do hiring managers really look for candidates? What makes them irresistible to hire? All the hiring managers in this episode are saying that soft skills, aptitude, and integrity matter. Hence, to be irresistible, you should be the person you have written on your resume.

Experience is also important. If you want to be a penetration tester, then you need to collect some experience (either paid or unpaid) in this field so that a hiring manager will take a chance on bringing you onto their team. From day one, you need to bring value to the company through your existing knowledge and experience, which is why hiring managers primarily value your past experience.
