I mentor IT professionals moving into cyber security roles. Five focused sessions: we fix your resume, build proof of skill, and rehearse the interviews until the offer comes.

You run infrastructure, support, or development today. You want SOC, GRC, or cloud security work tomorrow, and job postings all seem to want experience you can't get without the job.
You have real experience from another country and can't get callbacks here. I came through that path myself. The gap is translation, not skill.
Each session is one hour, on video, with homework between. You leave every session with something concrete: a rewritten resume, a lab you can show, an answer you can deliver under pressure.
Skills inventory, target role selection, and an honest gap read. You leave with a 90-day plan sized to your life.
We rewrite your resume against real Canadian postings and tune your LinkedIn so recruiters find you. ATS-tested wording, no fabrication, ever.
We pick and scope a hands-on artifact for your target role: a SIEM home lab, a risk register, a threat model. Something you can demo in an interview.
A full technical screen for your target role, recorded, with written feedback the same day. We drill the questions that actually get asked.
HR-round rehearsal, salary expectations for the Canadian market, and how to run multiple processes at once without losing any of them.
I'm Mano Nathan, an independent security consultant. Over 20 years I've worked across technology and cyber security, from Unix rooms and cloud platforms to security risk assessments and GRC consulting.
I also made the exact jumps my mentees are making: from infrastructure into security, and between countries. I know what the screeners look for because I've sat on both sides of the table.
My consulting clients pay several times my mentoring rate. I keep a few mentoring seats each month because the advice I needed twenty years ago was hard to find, and it shouldn't be.
If you have IT experience, yes: that's exactly the pivot this package is built for. If you're brand new to IT entirely, the honest answer is that a course or a help-desk role comes first; I'll tell you that on the intro call for free rather than take your money.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. What I can do is make sure your resume gets read, your answers land, and you walk into interviews with proof of skill instead of hope. The offer is your work; my job is to make sure nothing avoidable stands in its way.
Bootcamps sell 400 hours of content. I sell five hours of targeted judgment from someone currently in the field. Different product. Most of my mentees have already done the courses; what they need is direction, translation, and rehearsal.
Video call, evenings and weekends Eastern time. Sessions are scheduled at your pace; most people run one per week, and the package stays valid for four months.
I'll tell you which certification actually moves the needle for your target role and how to study for it efficiently, but the package is not a cert-prep course. It's aimed at the thing certs alone don't get you: the interview and the offer.
Tell me where you're stuck. I'll tell you what I'd do in your position, and whether mentoring is worth your money. Either way you leave with a next step.
