Hey sprkyco,

I have java development experience and would like to get in security domain. My full time job ended in May. I live in San Diego and the job market here is not as great as in northern CA. I would be in interested in the entry level positions advertized in the Whitehat Security career site. where should I start? Since I do not have any security experience submitting my resume may not be an effective option. Thanks, Tad

Whitehat is not really looking for extensive security backgrounds for some of their positions. The best way to get in is to show how and why your interested in security. There are many sources to do this. Damn Vulnerable Web App, WebGoat, and Guyere are some available options to see if your really interested in security. I highly reccomend applying for the static code analysis position as a Java programming background would be instrumental in identifying vulnerabilities.
