I called ISC2 about my eligibility and was told to consult other CISSPs. I sat for the exam this past saturday in Vienna, VA. Signed up as an Associate because of some eligibility questions I had. Here's my background.
Graduated from Carnegie Mellon in 2002. While in school I had the luck and opportunity to work for Telcordia Technologies a CMM Level 5 Software provider for the telecommunications industry (formerly a part of the AT&T monopoly). I worked there 2 years working full-time during breaks and part-time(20 hours a week) working remotely from my apartment and building and coding full features for an inventory management application for clients like Qwest, Sprint, RBOCs, etc.. So I was exposed and had to conform to the standards of a CMM Level 5 company. My question is that can I apply this experience towards a CISSP. ISC2 seems to think it could count but not sure according to the person I spoke to. I'm now working as an IT consultant handling multiple clients and doing Incident Response and networking, more or less as a security administrator.
What do you guys think. Sorry for the lengthy message but I want to make sure that I actually do qualify according to your professional standards as CISSPs. Thanks for the help guys.
