(Posted 6/24/2009) 5 Day CISSP® Boot Camp The boot camps are 5-day comprehensive courses that include IP3's 10-week online training resources for pre- and post-exam support. This gives you the advantage of building a strong foundation prior to sitting for the exam. You begin by receiving a comprehensive study pack, consisting of self-study manuals, study guides, professional mentoring, and toll free telephone support. IP3 will provide the student ample time to prepare and begin reviewing the 10 domains. The program begins with access to their online archive classes so you can gain the knowledge and expertise to come prepared for the course. The boot camp begins with an extensive overview of IT Security Principles and Practices, followed by an intense review and drill of the Ten Core Common Body of Knowledge subject areas. By laying the groundwork early, IP3 allows you to focus closely on the important concepts during class. For more details click here.

Job Search Survival 2009 - An article by Deborah Walker, CCMC
Undoubtedly, this is the toughest year on record to land a new job. Reaching your career goal will take courage and nerves of steel. Are you up to the challenge? Here are three tips for job-search endurance that will keep you on the right track toward your employment goal. 1. Keep your career goal realistic. This is not the time to strike out in a risky career direction. Following your heart toward a career in which you have little qualifications could yield months of frustration as you find yourself competing against legions of candidates far more qualified. Unless you are in the position to hold out for a very long job search, concentrate on positions where you are best qualified. 2.
Realize it will take longer to land your next position. If you've never experienced a lengthy job search, set your expectations out several months and practice patience. You will apply for many positions as the perfect candidate, and get no response. Expect that. You will conduct perfect interviews and hear nothing back. Expect that as well. Just remember that eventually the right company with the right job at the right time will come your way if you stay calm and focused and don't let discouragement keep you from moving forward. Just keep with it. 3. Write a better resume than your competition. Less jobs and more applicants equals extremely high competition. The quality of your resume has never been more important. For the best possible resume keep these guidelines in mind:
4.
Sharpen your interview skills. With employers interviewing only the best of the best, when you are chosen to interview be sure you are your competitive best. You CANNOT just wing an interview and expect to be called back for a second. Today it takes solid interview strategy to earn a second round of interviews. Interview books are helpful, but they usually fall short of teaching you how to read the interviewer's mind to understand his/her hiring motivations. A study in the art of selling is more effective to achieve great interview performance. A few basic selling strategies include:
Throughout 2009, the best jobs will go to those who persevere and stay focused. Keeping your expectations and goals realistic will help prevent the emotional ups and downs. Prepare for your job search as if you were competing in a marathon. With patience, endurance and skill you will win your next job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Deborah Walker, CCMC is a career coach helping job seekers compete in the toughest job markets.

To earn the CGEIT designation, candidates are required to:
The first CGEIT exam will be administered in December 2008.

More information can be viewed at www.isaca.org/cgeit and the grandfathering application can be found at www.isaca.org/cgeitgfapp. In the News"[The CGEIT certification] sets the path towards building the competency in IT governance," says [Bob] Frelinger, adding that professionals in finance and other fields may also seek CGEIT certification. "We're hoping it's not just for IT folks. Certainly there is a big business contribution to IT in an organization."
