Just wanted to share this Cyber Security job alert that just came in for our Northwest Coast members - why do I choose to share this one - basically I am not going to migrate to the west coast as I am an East Coast and occasionally Nevada guy and more importantly this is the first contract requisition I have been sent recently that openly indicates a $110 to $115 hourly W2 rate. The 2008-09 recession in Cyber Security is over and the demand for 2.7 Million Information Security Analysts etc, I indicated in the post above is starting to manifest in real market demand and competition. Plus this req is a good example of the prereqs and details required for a contract SOC or Security Operations Center Director role... only thing that I would want to know more about is the specific potential for contract to perm in this position which I would assume is high due to the Job Title.
I believe they contacted me off of either CareerBuilder or Monster.com
NOTE: At this level you would want to take the time to write a targeted two paragraph cover letter why you are a good match for the position and then rewrite your resume to "Target" the job description meaning to be sure to highlight the relevant experience and skills mentioned in the job description in your resume mentioning where you acquired those skills and abilities during your career.
