# Informational Interviews

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to sit on a panel for the local Colorado Springs OWASP chapter. The purpose of the panel was to discuss cybersecurity careers from the perspective of the people trying to get into the industry, new folks in the industry, and seasoned veterans. 

During the panel I talked about a twitter feed where I walked folks through my process of gaining informational interviews. In my post Army Career I've now gained two different jobs just from my network and personal connections. For ease of access, below is the thread I made back in November.
