Cybersecurity Hiring Tips: Degrees, Resumes & What Actually Matters | Root To CISO Podcast
In Part 2 of our conversation with Nick Bruno, CISO at SHL, we dive straight into the hiring side of cybersecurity—what hiring managers actually look for, and how to stand out in a crowded job market. Nick breaks down what makes a resume rise to the top (hint: it’s not just technical skills), why two-year degrees and non-traditional paths can still lead to security leadership, and how business-minded candidates often bring surprising value to cyber roles. Whether you’re looking to land your first security role or aiming to level up into management, this episode is packed with real-world advice from someone who’s been on both sides of the hiring table.
