Hello everybody and welcome back to this lecture.
And right now we are going to continue from where we stopped in the previous lesson.
So what we talked about for now is how you should start learning ethical hacking where you should go
which certificate should you take our video courses for you our universities for you and so on and so
on.
Basically what we did by now is we managed to get a good grip at how we should learn ethical hacking
and what things are important in the process of learning in order to get the career.
So we figured out that these certificates are not so important in order to have a job with the ethical
hacking skill even though they can help you with certain companies as some companies really like to
see which accomplishments you have a certificate wise.
OK.
And right now what we're going to do is we're going to take a look at different platforms Brooke and
expose yourself and where you can actually find yours find your first job using ethical hacking skills.
OK.
So first of all in order to do that the best thing you should do is to create online freelancing accounts.
Now many people are even now don't think that that is something useful.
They don't imagine themselves making money online.
They want to work physically in a certain company that is in their city.
But nowadays most of the jobs in most of the things that people accomplish are online.
OK.
Therefore the best place that you can expose yourself is over online freelancing platforms so open up
your home or Firefox or whatever search engine you are using.
And basically you can simply just type top freelancing platforms as you can see right here.
You click here enter and this first site right here will give you 72 best freelance jobs Web sites to
get freelance work fast.
So you just click on that to doesn't have to be deafening.
Just pick any links you want or in case you haven't heard of these actual freelancing platforms.
You can cover them here as you can see on TV and I have heard of some here it's up for grabs is a really
good one and I use that one.
We have five right here five it gets its name from its site design average all starts it's five dollars
it sounds low but you can set up towers above the base five door option.
So this job right.
This freelancing platform right here doesn't allow anyone to work for less than five dollars.
If I understood it correctly.
Now of course as an ethical hacker without actually really valuable skill you are not really going to
set an actual hourly rate of five dollars you're going to put it more up.
And right here we can see some different freelancing platforms.
Now most of these I didn't even heard of.
OK so here is the freelancer you can simply just click on the link and you can simply just sign up with
your own account.
Basically all you want to do is check whether you want to be a freelancer or client if you want to be
a client or simply just click.
I want to hire and if you want to freelance you quickly I want to work then you set up your own account.
Basically once you set up your own account you can set up the payment method over PayPal directly to
be bank account or something like that.
And then you're good to go.
All you need to do is make your profile look the best you can and then you can search for new jobs and
eventually.
Now it does take some time especially if you first started off on a freelancing platform it can take
up to a few weeks in order to find your first job because the clients will most likely always hire someone
with the prior experience to a freelancer platform because it's easier for them.
OK.
So right here this is freelancer and we're not going to take a look at freelance platform right now
what we're going to take a look at is the up for a platform.
So right here if wages go up where I found my offer platform let me just see where it is up work OK.
You simply just click on it.
It will lead you to the up for a page with jobs.
And here I'm not really sure how it will work for you because I am currently logging into an account
but once you actually make an account you should see something like this.
OK.
So your profile once you set it up you can see disability your profile can be viewed by public availabilities.
How much time can you put in into the work on up for platforms so as it's as it is right here.
Currently I have less than 30 hours a week available in order to actually have some jobs right here.
We can go on your profile but that doesn't really interest us at the moment.
We can go down here and hear some of the jobs that are posted right here as we can see windows sys admin.
Now these jobs right here are mostly by the things that you're searching so if for example search ethical
hacker ethical hacker simply click here enter go right here click ethical hacker and then you should
find the ethical hacking jobs as you can see right here the first job posted 12 days ago which is a
little bit old but it is currently at the top because it is set as interesting job it is ethical hacker
and black hat hacker.
Are you unethical or black hat hacker.
We have a job to test the client AWOL system to ensure the developers haven't left any holes.
Now then you can check out a few different things because this is what client posted you can see which
type of actual skill do they want.
They want the expert type of skills so there are three levels which to begin allow the intermediate
level and the extra clever now to begin a level is called entry.
And it's mostly the job that anyone can do or basically it is something that is really easy while as
the intermediate and experts require some kind of skill regarding that certain field as we can see right
here the description of this job is hourly.
So you will work by hour because on up work there are two types of actual work you can work hourly or
you can work over a fixed price.
For example these two jobs differentiate as we can see right here this one you work hourly.
And this one is a fixed price and you can see the estimate budget for this one is 300 dollars.
OK.
We will get this one in just a second.
Let me just go over this one once again so we can see how hourly it's looking for an expert and the
expert is actually attacked as these three dollar signs right here.
What is the intermediate step this to the signs and the entry is one dollar sign the estimated time
is more than six months so we can guess that this will be a full time job as it says right here that
is 30 plus hours a week.
And here basically once you click on it it will describe to you what you actually want or what they
actually want in order to find a freelancer.
Be basic.
They basically ask Are you an ethical hacker or by a hacker.
We have a job to test the client.
Okay.
And then you can check out some of the information about the client itself as we can see right here
about the client payment method is verified.
Which means that they woops which means that they have plugged in their money in order to basically
pay for the freelancer.
They're from the United Kingdom.
They currently have on this platform over a hundred and sixty nine jobs posted spent over fifty thousand
dollars and the average actual payment for basically any type of job that they posted right here is
around eighteen point thirty four dollars.
Down here you can see Saudi reviews for the client as we can see right here.
This client right here worked for forty two dollars an hour.
This client for about ten dollars an hour.
This client four for twelve dollars an hour and these two jobs were basically fixed prices as we can
see right here fixed price and then right here fixed price.
So basically once you have a fixed price job that means that it doesn't matter in what amount of time
that you actually finish the job you can finish it in five minutes you will get the same price as if
you finish it in five hours.
OK.
So that's one type of a job.
Let's take a look at the one below as we can see right here ethical hacker needed to help me find all
the Facebook business pages link to a specific business as we can see right here if you click right
here you will have the description of job as it says I use the Facebook ad library to research the marketing
campaigns of certain businesses some of these businesses make multiple accounts to run their campaigns
I'd like some help in finding the account so that I can see all the ad campaigns being run by the business
and then if you want to for example you can just go on to the submit a proposal which will open a new
window right here there it will ask you for some of the information.
This says this proposal for this current job requires four connects now connects or something that you
have an off work in order to apply for a certain job each month you will have I believe around 60 connects
in order to apply for a job and then once you find a judge job suitable by you you can simply just go
on to write here submit a proposal once you actually check everything out.
You for example see prices OK.
And it asks for the intermediate level.
Then you submit the proposal and it will ask you some of the questions right here regarding your job
preference so you can see right here how do you want to be paid either by milestone or by project.
So by Monsanto is basically that the entire project will be divided into small segments called milestones
and then you'll be paid for milestones as they are completed and approved solid say this job you split
it into three phases and the current budget is three hundred dollars for each milestone after you finish
it you will get one hundred dollars or you can choose to get paid by a project and then you get your
entire payment at the end when all work has been delivered as it says right here and then right here
even though the fixed price has been set you can set your own price that you think that the job is bought.
So what's the full amount of or you'd like to wait for this job.
As it says right here total amount declined for senior proposal and you can type here anything you basically
want as long as it's realistic.
You can just leave 300 dollars as the client suggested or you can just make it lower which I don't see
why we would do it.
Or you can make it higher if you think that the job requires more time and more of your effort.
Therefore you can bet more money now on other things that you should know is that the up for service
fee will actually take away 20 percent of your earnings.
So uh for example you work for this client and then you finish the job.
You will not really get three hundred dollars you will get two hundred and forty dollars while as the
upper would take sixty dollars.
Okay.
Now this percentage lowers once you work with a specific client for a longer period of time.
Or does it have to be long a period of time.
It is basically how much money you earn.
I believe if you work with one client and you earn with him over five hundred dollars then this percentage
will drop to 10 percent and therefore then it will take on a 30 dollars out of this three hundred ten
thousand dollars I believe it drops to 5 percent which is even lower which would be around 50 dollars
per annum at fifteen dollars for these three hundred dollars job.
Okay.
Then down here you have some additional things that you should fulfill.
Once you submit a proposal how long will this project take.
Here you can actually take a guess.
Basically by reading the actual project you can simply just uh determine how much you think this job
will take.
And then once you go right here use for example set less than one week and then you right here have
the last thing which is the additional details or the cover letter.
So here you actually send a message to the client saying you're for example interested in a job you
know how to do it and you want to finish that job.
Basically you can type anything you want right here if the client ask for something for some certificates
or something like that which I don't think they really will.
You can specify everything right here and this is an additional question that the client actually proposed
which is how do you plan to achieve the objective of the project.
And here you can describe how you want to manage to actually perform this job what you will do and how
you will get what the client wants.
Then after it if there are any additional attachments that you need to specify you can simply just track
them right here and after it you can submit a proposal and wait for a client reply.
OK.
Now right now I will not submit a proposal.
Let me just go right here.
So this is how you can search for a job.
Of course you don't it really it doesn't really need to be ethical hacker because if you're just type
hacker.
Let me just see right here for just type hacker.
Let me see what gets posted right here.
OK.
Hot hacker for bounty program in Denmark let's see this shot right here it was posted 16 hours ago uh.
We are looking for one or more hackers who want to help us find uh vulnerabilities at our client's Web
and software solutions.
We are a Danish company with made small size clients.
OK.
So simply if you are interested in this job you can simply just apply to it or submit a proposal as
you can see information information security skills which are needed firewall encryption Catalina exile
so alien world and so on and so on.
OK.
So basically death be about how you can actually go which the uh opt for platform you simply just search
for a job you will write a cover letter you specify the price that you believe is a fair price and then
you submit the proposal.
Now of course once you actually start right here you want to set a little bit over uh hourly rates.
Now of course don't set it too low.
For example uh an ethical hacker an experienced ethical hacker shouldn't really go below 30 dollars
an hour or something like that.
You can start off with around 25 once you actually go to this platform.
Then once you finish your first job you can increase it to 40 for example and from there you can see
how many invitations to drop you can get.
How many jobs you can find with that hourly rate and then you increase it time by time.
OK.
So that would be about it for this up for a platform.
Uh you can take a look at right here at some of the different platforms as we take a look at the upper
can do freelance platform you can go to the fiver right here and you can see find a perfect freelance
service for your business.
This is mostly for clients when they actually want to search for someone that will finish a job.
You can simply just search it right here and then get what you need.
So to sum everything up what I think is the best is to make online accounts and these freelancing platforms
and make an account for an ethical hacker as you are.
And basically set your server set your hourly rate set up your profile and apply daily for a job.
Now once you actually set everything up and set up all of the profiles and everything you need you should
make an universal cover letter or the universal application letter to will apply with to almost every
job.
Now of course you will not apply with the same letter because that wouldn't really be useful.
It is just there to save your time.
You simply just open up your notepad.
You simply just write one cover letter right here.
That is a good cover letter that will catch an eye of a client and then you simply just modify it for
a certain job because you can't really send the same cover letter to every client.
It will be a little bit not professional and probably will not make any sense in most of the cases.
Therefore you simply just write one cover letter and you modified for your own needs and for your own
jobs.
Okay.
So uh Dan you have Lauren 15 minutes a day to apply for around two to three jobs and in a matter of
weeks you will have your first job.
For sure the more actual accounts you make and the more job you apply for the more the the bigger the
chances are that you will find your first job and actually be able to do it now.
Another thing that you should take a look at is to not unplug to not apply for a certain job that you
think that you don't know how to do it.
For example let's take a look at right here.
Social Media Manager It is out of our actual field.
We don't really need uh.
We will.
I will not really apply for this because I am not really interested in social media manager and social
media marketing and therefore I don't know anything about this and I wouldn't really submit a proposal
to this even if I for example notice that it is a payment.
There is really no need to submit a proposal onto something that you don't know.
It can only do that for you.
Okay.
So basically that would be about it for this video.
I hope you enjoyed it and I hope I will see you in the next one.
I will talk about my personal past how I started in actual ethical hacking field Woo what I did firstly
and how I got my first job Okay so okay sit there and take care.
Bye.
