Accepting People for my Group Mentoring Lab - Learn How to get in Front of Recruiters and fulfill your Tech / Cyber Security Career

Being in Tech / Cyber for over 25+ years, founding a firm, and mentoring hundreds of people over the past few years has allowed me to narrow down the reasons why people seem to have a hard time finding jobs, even in a market that has less than a 1 percent unemployment rate. I've broken it down into 6 things:

❌ Lack of Visibility to Recruiters

❌ Overwhelming Job Market

❌ Uncertainty about Job Search Strategy

❌ Difficulty Breaking into Cyber Security

❌ Stale Network and Limited Opportunities

❌ Lack of Confidence in Job Readiness

How do you overcome these? Sometimes it seems the odds are stacked against you.

Over the past 3 years, I've been lucky enough to build a great community on multiple platforms. About a year ago, I started wondering if there was a way that I could utilize my network to proactively help people find jobs, besides just mentoring people. People that I've been lucky enough to connect to are team leads, managers, directors, CISOs, CIOs, CEOs, and HR Managers.

I am a true believer in the saying "Your Network is your Networth". The more people you are in front of, the better chance you have to find opportunity.

I've spent much time looking at other job sites trying to figure out a way for people to find opportunity easier. One thing I noticed is that there are a ton of candidates listed on those sites, but recruiters have to pay to access the talent. To me, pay-walling talent isn't going to put a huge dent into helping people find jobs. It's going to limit the candidates visibility. Let's face it, many organizations don't and won't pay for access, so they are missing talent, and you are missing jobs.

For this reason, I've been working hard to crack the code on actually getting candidates in front of the right people. I started a project months ago based on some ideas and started putting my ideas to action. I have started Harmony Growth Lab, a space for mentoring people who are looking for a great career in tech. Alongside of that project is the Cyber Talent Registry. Both of these are helping people find success in their journey to finding a great job.

Let me explain both.

Harmony Growth Lab

If you want to come hang out with me in the Harmony Growth Lab, join here.

Leveraging 25+ years in Tech and Cybersecurity, I'm fulfilling my dream of coaching and mentoring in my Harmony Growth Lab.

Filled with Cybersecurity professionals from around the globe and from companies such as Dell, Amazon, Garmin, OtterBox, and others, this the pool of knowledge is very broad. There are tons of people waiting to help you.

⭐ GRC, Offensive Security, Defensive Security, Cloud, or Security Engineering are all great sectors of Cyber Security, but which path is right for you? How do you get there? We break these things down in the group as well.

⭐ Bi-weekly Workshops and Weekly Check in calls - This is where the meat of the growth lab is. These live group learning sessions will help you advance in your career quickly.

⭐ Tips from a LinkedIn Top Voice - Learn how to truly grow your LinkedIn profile like never before. Applying to 1,000 jobs a month gets old and you usually don't get anywhere. I teach you the reverse method of being found by recruiters instead of hunting.

⭐ Profile Optimization Clinics - Your LinkedIn profile is good, but let's make it great. This is an extension of you. In our group calls, we review profiles and talk about ways that you can make it shine.

⭐ Posting Structures - As a LinkedIn Top Voice, I have learned various posting frameworks that will help you become a thought leader and gain authority in the Tech space.

⭐ Algorithm Mastery Sessions - Content is King, but the algorithm matters too. Learn how to align them for extreme growth.

⭐ Comprehensive Life Planning Frameworks - A toolkit for sketching out your dream life, ensuring every aspect is aligned and purposeful.

⭐ Systematic Accountability and Assessments - A structured check-in to keep you on target, turning ambitions into achievements through consistent feedback.

The best part? It lives 24/7.

What is our methodology? It's simple:

1️⃣ It's $9/month to be part of the CTR program, which includes all of the above. Yes, there is a cost, but it's literally less than I paid for my wife's Starbuck's coffee and egg sandwich this morning. Our goal was to make this affordable to nearly everyone.

2️⃣ Leveraging our connections, network, and newsletters, which received over 16 Million views in the last year, your profile has the opportunity to be seen by a wide range of hiring decision makers including team leads, managers, directors, CISOs, CIOs, CEOs, and HR Managers.

3️⃣ We will allow free access to the CTR, not charging to access it. Because of this, any company that is looking to fill a position can utilize it.

4️⃣ The Cyber Talent Registry will list the following for you: Job Desired, Certifications/Degree, Years of experience, a place for you to introduce yourself, skills that you have, availability, salary range expectations, and a link to your LinkedIn profile. Your name, phone number, and email address will NOT be on the list because our goal is to help you gain traffic to your LinkedIn profile, so you can truly represent yourself properly. This also prevents spamming.

5️⃣ While you are on the list, you get the following: Curated Jobs emailed to you weekly, a monthly live group call to learn how to accelerate your career, weekly career and job search guidance emailed to you, and your profile having exposure to tens of thousands of people who are involve in hiring.

If you want to be part of the Cyber Talent Registry, Join Here.

Our goal is simple. It's to offer you visibility. For years, I have mentored people to teach them how to build a great LinkedIn profile, how to engage, build connections and even teach them a posting strategy. However, most people just don't have the time, so we're leveraging the networks that we have already built to help you gain the visibility.

The Cyber Talent Registry (CTR) is limited to 1,000 people.

We are excited to roll this out in phases. At this time, our offering is only open to 1,000 people. This keeps our list clean, controllable, and allows us to prepare for Phase 2 early next year. The time between Phase 1 and 2 will allow us to develop an even better platform for some other exciting things we are doing.

People have skills, experience, degrees, certifications, and knowledge. However, they lack the visibility they need. Our goal is to help you gain visibility for less than you'll pay for your next lunch. It's as simple as that.

These spots will fill up fast, join today.

Conclusion

I have been mentoring for years. There is no better reward than to get a message from a mentee that they have landed a job. This is why I've started these two passion projects of mine. I hope that I can be a small part of your journey.
