Everything here is based on my own experience, conversations with recruiters and hiring managers at Fortune 500 companies, and what has genuinely helped real people land real jobs.

This was made to help people, and that is what it should stay as.

A Little About Me

My name is Sabeel. I have been in tech for over 3 years, starting as an App Dev Analyst at a Fortune 100 consulting firm for 16 months, then as an InfoSec Engineer at a Fortune 50 bank for 2 years, and I am currently a Senior Cyber Engineer at a Fortune 50 telecom company.

I started sharing resume advice because I kept seeing talented people get passed over, not because they were not qualified, but because their resumes were not telling their story the right way.

In the past 10 months, this guide and its templates have helped:

• 50+ job offers in 10 months which is on average 1 offer per week
• 30+ people have landed jobs in total, averaging around almost 2 job offers per person
• 200+ interviews generated, ****averaging out 4 to 5 interviews per week
• $2 - $3 million in total salaries generated across the community

And it all started with one thing: helping people see that they already have the skills. They just needed to learn how to present them.

Real Talk Before We Start

The certifications, the degree, the bootcamp — none of that is going to get you the job on its own. What gets you the job is a strong resume that gets you in the door, and interview skills that close it.

I have seen people with Security+ sit unemployed for months while someone with no cert and a well-written resume lands three interviews in a week. The paper validates you, but the resume and how you carry yourself in the interview are what actually move the needle.

Use this guide to build both. The resume gets you the call. You close the rest.

Everyone Has Transferable Skills

One of the biggest misconceptions I see is people thinking they have nothing to offer because they have never worked in tech. That is simply not true. Every job you have held has given you skills that matter to employers. You just need to know how to frame them.

• Retail / Customer Service — communication, problem-solving, handling pressure, meeting targets
• Security Guard — monitoring, reporting, attention to detail, following protocols
