I want to be a Cyber Software Developer at Comcast, my current organization, in five years. My long-
term professional goal is to have a cybersecurity job within Comcast within the next three years by
networking and investigating which roles will fit my skill set. I need to find roles that will apply what I
learned from my UAGC courses. I must learn these three skills: experience using Python and Golang
coding, working with GitHub and Jira or similar technologies, developing cybersecurity applications, or
conducting cybersecurity operations. I can do many job shadows within Comcast to learn about GitHub
and Jira, as well as what developing cybersecurity applications we use and how to use them, and learn
about conducting cybersecurity operations and what other resources our company provides. Comcast
also provides some training and seminars that I can attend.
My professional goal draft from the SMART Goals Starter Kit learning activity is that I will start looking for
roles within my company that I will enjoy, help develop and grow my skills, and reach out to the hiring
managers to get more information about each role. I will modify my resume and cover letter to fit the
role and apply. I will continue this, hoping to get a new role within the next six months. I will work with
my supervisor to get time to meet with hiring managers, do job shadows and make time to adjust my
resume, and apply for roles I’m interested in. I will set alerts on my internal job posting page and check
for new postings weekly to see if any fit my requirements and skills.
Potential
Roadblock
Strategy
Lack of
cybersecurity
roles or roles
that fit my
skill set.
As I have been searching for a new role within the last few months at Comcast, I
have noticed few job openings that fit my skill set or entry-level positions for
cybersecurity roles. I will need to stay diligent and motivated to reach my goal. I
will have to make time each week to focus on reviewing any new job postings
and setting up time to meet with any hiring managers and job shadow any roles I
am interested in. If I am still interested in those roles after doing these things, I
will need to adjust my resume and apply for one of the roles.
Managing
balance with
career,
education,
and family.
It is stressful and overwhelming to juggle my career, education, and family life.
Managing time is critical to balancing it all. I need to make sure I give myself
enough time for each and plan to have extra time for when unexpected
challenges arise. This will allow me to stay relaxed and handle the challenge
with an open mindset. If no obstacles occur during that time, I will have extra
time to do something I enjoy instead.
Difficulties
finding
resources to
help me with
cybersecurity.
Comcast is a huge organization, but finding resources and getting training
information can be challenging.
I will need to contact supervisors and their
agents with cybersecurity roles within the organization to find what I need to
know and where to find valuable resources that will help me prepare for these
roles.
