Back in 2007, Steve Yegge listed 10 technical resume tips for people applying for technical jobs. While his focus is programmers, his tips apply to IT staff and auditors, and anyone technical.
Even though the article is 7 year old as of this writing, it still has staying power. I’ve seen each of these tips ignored in countless resumes.
It’s a long article, but very helpful and funny.

Here’s a couple tips for making your IT audits a bit easier in the new year.
First, for those systems that don’t record the creation or deletion date of user accounts (or folders, permissions, or whatever), get a list of all accounts from IT in January. Then when you do the audit later in the year, get a new list and compare it with the January list. The new and deleted accounts will jump out at you.

If you have a WordPress blog (or any blog) and don’t use the MORE tag in all your posts, you’re missing more than you think.
Every once in a while I feel like blogging about blogging…
The MORE tag ensures that only a few lines or paragraphs of a post appear on your home page (how much depends on where YOU put the tag). To read the rest of the post, the reader clicks “Continue reading” or whatever phrase your particular theme uses (my theme uses “Keep reading” by default but I changed it, as you can see here on my home page).

Update: See links to other sites at the end of this post. I’ll update as I find them.
If you want a good collection of security tips for yourself or others, check out the www.onguardonline.gov website . It contains articles, videos, quiz games, and tutorials about security topics.
The topics and tutorials are good; the videos and quiz games seemed to be geared for the younger generation. Even so, it would be a good link to send to grandparents and those who are curious, but hesitant about technology.
