Hum I had the same issue a year ago. I just had gotten laid off and
decided to peruse my dream job of security. I had tons of non
professional experience but nothing to show and employer. I went out
and got my TICSA and took the LCA also. I then searched around for
entry level positions in the security field. I even put a post on the
security jobs mailing. I was completely honest. I was like green
security professional looking for entry to intermediate position and
blah, blah. I got many leads from the list. I suggest during your off
time while looking to get in work on some certs and read up on what
you can.

If you want a quick way in go get the CISSP. That dam cert though
definitely worthy of its praise is starting to become like a instant
passport into the security industry, or at least in my neck of the
woods it is.

Ask again on a different day guys.  Many are out trying to fight the
worm at the moment.  You may get more replies in a week or so.

Guys

I know you have probably been asked this question many times but here
goes.

I am currently a security enthusiast and employed as a software
developer
for a large Telco company however I would like to get into the
security
field but I am finding it a very tight market to get into.

How would be the best way to make a start in the Security field. As I
have
found that most company's will not look at your CV unless you have
had
2
years proffesional experience/certification and you can't get a
certification until you have the experience etc.

Thanks in advance
Mike
