It should give you a little guidance in writing that CV to what is
expected and a good idea about the difference between system and pen
testing. System Testing typically refers to testing software or
hardware in a lab that simulates its feilded situation. This would be
a phase of testing software/hardware before it is released to the
customer.

Hi,

Can anyone help. I have been involved in system testing for about the last 18 
months, and would now like to work as a pent tester.

I am applying for junoir pentest roles and they are ask me if I have any pen 
test expeirence, I tell them what I have done and then they ask me for my CV.

After receiveing my CV their tell me that I have no pentesting experince. I 
suppose what I would like to know is:

Is a pen testing and a system testing one and the same or are they different, 
because after a qiuck search on the net they to me appear to be the same.

Can any one answer my question.

Thanks

Lee
