Descripton: Job hunting? Looking for a career change? Still in college and want to know how to get started now in your career? Have an hour free on a Thursday afternoon? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this might be the BHIS webcast for you.

This webcast is an update to Jason's popular recorded DerbyCon 2016 talk -- How to Social Engineer Your Way Into Your Dream Job. If you don't want to wait, you can watch that now. youtu.be/__lvS2pjuSg

What will be covered?
* How to combine OSINT, marketing technology, and a hacker/social engineer mindset to job hunting
* How to be a hunter of jobs... not just a seeker of jobs
* How to write your resume during the job hunt
* You might already have your dream job

The hope of this webcast is that you'll look at job hunting differently and apply the skills and techniques in an effective way to help you get the career of your dreams... or at least a job for now that will help you get to the career of your dreams in the next 5 years.

Jason Blanchard is the Content & Community Director of Black Hills Information Security. His background is in creating content and building communities.
