Johnny Xmas

Following close on the heels of last year's incredibly successful "Attack Paths: How to Get a Job in Infosec" talk, this instructional session discusses the specifics behind building up the soft skills necessary to effectively socialize and network with other human beings. This seminar will go beyond the obvious "do this; don't do that" information and focus heavily on how, where and what to practice in order to refine your skills. While most of the information will apply to all social situations, this seminar will have a career focus (not just InfoSec!), helping to provide information for not only job interviews, but also for professional networking to get those interviews in the first place. Guaranteed to be something in here for everyone, from the Basement Nerd to the Social Engineering Expert.

Bio: Johnny Xmas @J0hnnyXm4s
@J0hnnyXm4s is the Boss of Level 3 of The Internet. He has a +16 to save vs. Horse-Limes, and his weaknesses include sloths and funny porn. He's been independently awesome since late 2002, and professionally awesome for the past 3 years. While not (ever) busy touring as the world's most famous professional speaker, he definitely, absolutely does NOT pass the time by posing as a scantily-clad Thomas Jefferson at the mall on 83rd and Wellington. That was definitely someone else, and further allegations of this nature will result in swift legal action against you.
