I've never thought to put CVE-IDs I'm credited for reporting on my resume. Is that...a thing? Do tech employers (outside of security consultancies) even know what a CVE-ID is?
- splicer 14y agoIt helped land me a firmware development position at what was then a fortune 500 company.
- ghshephard 14y agoWhat else should a person put on their resume (beyond job experience) when applying for security roles? Patents? Education? Open Source Projects? I would think that CVE-IDs would certainly lend color, and probably credibility to the resume of someone applying for a security position, particularly if the CVE-ID (which has some amount of peer review) was associated with something interesting or relevant to the position being applied for.
- bonzoesc 14y agoI'm at Basho (we make the Riak database) in a non-security role, and I pay attention to CVE-IDs. They'll stick with me and make me remember a resume better, and improve somebody's chances of advancing to an interview, and give me something to ask about during an interview.
- marshray 14y agoIf your resume has them, the others don't, and the boss is knowledgeable or curious ... then it could help you stand out. I would think it would look very good for a developer position, especially at a place that makes high reliability and/or network facing products.
