Читать книгу CISSP For Dummies - Peter H. Gregory - Страница 51

If you’re somewhat new to infosec (and even if you’re not!), and you find yourself asking many questions about your career, perhaps you would benefit from a mentor. A mentor is someone who has lived your professional lifestyle and been on the security journey for many years.

We suggest you shop around for a mentor and decide on one after talking with a few prospects. Mentors often have different approaches, from casual discussions to more structured learning.

If you’re not sure where to find a mentor, start with one or more of your area's local security organizations or activities. You may have to find a long-distance mentor if you live outside a major city, but the experience can still be rewarding!

As you transition in your career from a security beginner to a security expert, consider being a mentor yourself. You’ll find that although you’ll be helping another aspiring security professional get their career started, you’ll also learn quite a bit about security and yourself along the way.

Being mentored is not just for beginners. Even accomplished leaders have mentors who help them on their professional journeys.
