The Career Compass by Luke Gough
Cyber Careers with Luke Gough
Cyber Careers with Luke Gough is the podcast for anyone trying to break into, level up in, or pivot within cybersecurity. Hosted by Luke Gough, a working cybersecurity recruiter and career coach based in Australia, the show delivers short, tactical episodes built around the questions candidates actually ask. How do you break in without an IT background? What certifications matter (and which are a waste of money)? How do you write a resume that gets callbacks? What separates the candidates who get hired from the ones who don't? Most cybersecurity career advice comes from practitioners or coaches who guess at what hiring managers want. This show is different. Luke has been a recruiter for 15 years. He sees what kills resumes, what makes recruiters call back, and what hiring managers actually screen for at every stage of a cyber career. He shares all of it, plain and direct, in episodes designed to fit a single commute, gym session, or walk. > New episodes drop weekly, with occasional guest interviews featuring hiring managers, recently-placed candidates, and other voices from inside cyber hiring.
