How to Network Your Way Into Physical Security: Steve Dalton, MBA


Listen Later

At some point during the job search, someone will inevitably tell us about the importance of ‘networking.’

It represents an especially important part of the job hunt within the security profession. Hiring managers prefer to deal with those they know and trust — not unknown applicants that submit resumes online.

The problem?

No one tells you "how" to network. That can make the prospect of reaching out to strangers daunting.

Our guest today has an answer to this issue.

Joining me on the show this time is Steve Dalton, MBA. He's the Daytime Program Director of Career Services at Duke University. He's also the author of the book ‘The 2-Hour Job Search’ and ‘The Job Closer.’

In our conversation, Steve reveals a step-by-step system security professionals can use to find their next career opportunity.

This would be useful for experienced practitioners looking to step up to the next rung on the career ladder, servicemembers looking to transition to the private sector, or a student looking for their first job.

We also discuss:

  • Why hiring managers are ignoring your résumé (and what to do about it)
  • 7 questions to ask at every informational interview.
  • Why managers actually DON’T want to hire the most qualified candidates for a job posting.
  • The tool thousands of job seekers use to dramatically improve their attractiveness to prospective employers.
