Dear Clement and others,<br><br>First of all this is a great way to reach out to the industry. Thanks a lot for everyone who has put efforts to give suggestions. Yes a Virtual stuy group sounds good and i also have a quick question to ask. I am really interested in doing CISSP but as Clement and others mention time and again i have just one years of Information security exprience and i hold a Masters (MSC) in Security. I guess i would have to be an associate till i get my experience.<br>
<br>My question is what are my chances in the job market if i finish my CISSP ? im presently in a high pressure SLA based job role and hardly get time to study.. i work long hours. Luckily im going to be free for another 2 months time. Shoud i finish CISSP and get into job role and will companies still push me for more certs like cisco, checkpoint or how does it work? <br>
<br>I know its a lot of questions.. but i thank everyone in advance. BTW i will be looking for exams in south India like chennai, bangalore.. Thanks.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 8:00 PM, Clement Dupuis <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:clement.dupuis@cccure.com">clement.dupuis@cccure.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Considering that you do not have any security experience you cannot<br>
take the CISSP exam. The exam requires a minimum of 5 years or 4<br>
years plus a degree.<br>
<br>
However, you can certainly take the CISSP ASSOCIATE exam. It is the<br>
exact same exam but you become a full blown CISSP only after you have<br>
reached the 5 years of experience.<br>
<br>
You should subscribe to my CISSP INFO MAILING LIST, it covers all of<br>
those topics. Subscribe at:<br>

<br>
You will receive one message a day for about 10 days. It gives you<br>
tips and tricks on how to pass this exam.<br>
<br>
Best of luck<br>
