I joined the 5-Day Cybersecurity Jobs

I joined the 5-Day Cybersecurity Jobs Challenge not knowing what to expect, and left with a full strategy to break into the field. That led me to their full program, where I received personalized resume help and interview training. I used their methods in two interviews and got hired on the second one.

What blew me away was how personal the coaching felt. They didn’t give me a generic resume template. They asked me about my past, my strengths, even the industries I wanted to target. The final resume? A masterpiece. Add that to my newly optimized LinkedIn, and suddenly, I was on every recruiter’s radar.

I’ve taken other online bootcamps, but none went this deep into job strategy. They didn’t just teach me cybersecurity , they showed me how to win the job. Negotiated a $10k higher salary because of what I learned here.

Honestly, I expected good content, but what I didn’t expect was how genuinely human the experience would feel. We’re in an age where most platforms feel robotic and distant. You sign up, watch a few videos, and that’s it. But this felt different personal, intentional, and deeply supportive.

I’ve been in IT for years, but couldn’t make the switch to security. This program gave me the edge. They taught me how to frame my experience, prep for interviews, and get hired. Just accepted a role paying $128k/year. Let that sink in.

FRAUDULENT AND MISLEADING!!!

FRAUDULENT AND MISLEADING!!!

Paid $1k for the course, something about a discount blah blah blah. All they did was send a bunch of recorded videos, I'm talking a bunch of unnecessary recorded videos. You can't even get through to any of the team for questions or concerns after making payment. TOLULOPE? sent emails and made calls to him but never responded. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. All I got was pre-recorded videos and a link to download ServiceNow . LOL, fraudulent bunch.
