that require real-time coding on whiteboards,with paper and pencil, or using a simple text editor [11, 13].Currently, multiple papers review the hard and soft skills necessary for career success, [14–19],which skills are knowledge deficiencies for recent graduates [20–25], and a few papers mentionthe hiring process broadly [11, 13, 26]. However, more work is needed to describe what hiring incomputing looks like, and what employers want from applicants. Furthermore, many reports andarticles state that there is a diversity problem in computing, but rarely do these works examinehow viable candidates are lost during the hiring process.

categories.Drawbacks of the NICE FrameworkWhile the NICE Framework provides a significant advantage in allowing for a mapping thatfrom both a knowledge and a workforce perspective, it does have some drawbacks.There are several areas important to a well-rounded education that are not directly addressed bythe NICE Framework. A cybersecurity professional needs a working knowledge of mathematicsand various sciences beyond those strictly related to security. Some of this knowledge can beconsidered prerequisite for a deep understanding of cybersecurity e.g., calculus. Some of thisknowledge is necessary for job roles that integrate with cybersecurity roles e.g., economics. Andsome is necessary for addressing the soft skills necessary to be successful in a workplace
