I've been looking for 4 months and only had one phone screen from HR. Cybersecurity in Raleigh, my last employer was MAG 7. My particular problem is I took off 6 years to be a stay-at-home parent.

Can't you simply fill that gap on your resume with something made up? "Self employed", "freelancer", "stealth startup", "confidential employer" etc.

How would the companies ever know?

		They'd presumably ask for more details and/or references, at which point you would be hopelessly enmeshed in a web of lies of your own making.

Email in my bio, I’m in the triangle and would love to connect. I know some cyber folks who I can link you up with.

Are you involved in DefCon? There's probably a local chapter that would help you get in touch with the right people.

Also, I totally wish I could afford to be a stay at home parent. I'm sure you made the right choice with those 6 years!
