If that’s the case, I’d suggest adding another position (under LinkedIn’s Experience area) called “Looking to move into IT audit”, and configure it as “I currently work here” as you can have multiple ‘jobs’ that are active. Now if your current job isn’t even related to IT audit (you’re a sales clerk, customer service representative, or a plumber), you don’t want to add IT Auditor to your title. It is critical to get IT Auditor in your title and get CISA on your profile, even if you’re only studying! Joined ISACA in 2016, and attend monthly meetings (or whatever you get the idea).
Learning Excel PowerPivot, Excel Power Query, ACL, and Power BI (you are working on learning the tools auditors and data analysts use, aren’t you?). Studying Active Directory, virtualization, cloud security, and ISO 27001 (or whatever subjects you are studying/researching/playing with–these are just examples, not targets every auditor needs to aim for). Click here for more of my posts about CISA.Įven though you haven’t passed the CISA yet, you’ll have the edge of the next gal who doesn’t indicate that she is working on the certification. Make it at least 6 months out unless you are highly motivated. This does 2 things: makes sure your profile pops up for people searching for ‘CISA’, and gives you a public deadline to aim for.
Expect to pass exam by (provide a month/year). Then under that “Building IT Auditor skills” bullet, add sub-bullets like: If you’re not sure which skills you need, see suggestions 6) and 7) below), as well as my posts What IT Auditors Ought to Know – and Don’t, IIA Basics for Auditors, Audit and IT Audit for Dummies. This works best if you’re in a job related to IT or audit, like Compliance, Privacy, Security, Help Desk, Networking, Disaster Recovery, Programming, Risk Management, etc.Īfter the bullets that describe your current job, add a bullet that says something like: “Building IT Auditor skills”. For example, if your current profile title is Information Security Analyst, change it to Information Security Analyst/IT Auditor. If not, be careful.ġ) Change your current LinkedIn profile title from “x” to “x/IT Auditor”. Hopefully you can discuss your goals with your manager, and your manager will support you. Good managers care about their people and will help them move to a different position, inside or outside the current company. Become a fisherman instead integrity is critical to internal audit.ī) And if you’re employed in any position, think about whether you can afford to note on your LinkedIn profile that you’re looking for another job. If you lie on LinkedIn or your resume, you’re obviously not cut out to be an auditor. If you are new to IT audit or want to break into that field, make sure you also check out my related posts at the end of this article.Ī) Everything you add to your profile, especially based on this article, MUST BE TRUE.ĭon’t say that you’re doing things if you’re not. That requires you to have certain key terms in your profile. The idea behind these suggestions is to ensure that your profile gets noticed by recruiters looking for IT auditors. If you’re already working as an IT auditor, use these suggestions to get noticed more and move ahead (or into another company with more opportunities). In a nutshell, you need to enhance your LinkedIn profile so that everyone knows you’re working hard at learning IT auditor skills.
