The GBS Group is Hiring
Brian Trees at The GBS Group reached out to me last week looking for someone to help him fill a full or part time position in Philadelphia.
The position requires someone with a Security+ certification, and also an MCITP: SA certification.
Here's a great benefit. The job requires a security clearance and the company is willing to help the right person get it.
Even if I was looking for different work, the commute to Philadelphia from Virginia Beach is little too far. However, this might be a perfect opportunity for someone else.

CISSP Rapid Review
I'm making steady progress on the CISSP Rapid Review book. This book provides you with late-stage checks and reviews to see if you're ready for the exam. You can start with a full study guide like the CISSP: Certified Information Systems Security Professional Study Guide to master the concepts and then when you're close, use theCISSP Rapid Review book to review your readiness.
Security+ Study Guide
The CompTIA Security+: Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-301 Study Guide continues to help people take and pass the Security+ certification the first time they take it. Jarrett Marquis wrote a review on Amazon (identified as useful by 35 Amazon readers) saying it is "All You Need to Pass". He wrote "The plan is pretty simple, buy this book, read it, do the practice questions, pass the test."
