I am exploring creating job descriptions and qualifications centered around entry level infosec roles, like pentesting. I am very conscious of unrealistic job reqs & want to avoid common pitfalls. What are some go-to resources? @shehackspurple @AlyssaM_InfoSec @marigalloway

First is the diff between entry-level and junior bc entry-level should mean just that, they come in with no exp / no skills. Most teams actually want someone JR who has demonstrated interest with studies or home lab or CTFs as examples. Which are you targeting? (thx TD💜)

Thank you for the clarification! These discussions are really showing this is a distinction I had not considered (which makes me really glad I asked the original question!). My target currently is junior level.

I hired 3 entry-level people in the last couple years and trained them, they are great! One for IR, one for AppSec, and one for Compliance. You should consider creating entry-level roles as there are woefully not enough and it helps the talent shortage.
