Good day Tumisu . I read through your posting and you choose several great future employers. I’ve worked in the IT field for quite some time and in my opinion Cisco and Lockheed Martin will definitely have IT security positions available in the near future both in the Government and private sectors. Good Job
CJ,
I really liked your first choice on Lockheed Martin. Working for the Air Force full time, I have really found them to be an excellent company and a great choice for a potential employer. They seem to have things figured out, are easy to work with from a partner perspective, and are very competitive when it comes to building the best products possible within a given time frame.
