How?!?!?

@joelrobert4053 Месяц назад

@@SuperAllstar64 I worked help desk for two years at an insurance company and desktop support for three years at my current place then a position for IAM Engineer opened up internally so I applied and got hired.

Thank you I needed to hear this it’s been very difficult lately as a college student but I’m still learning 🙏🏼

The cybersecurity job market is extremely tough right now. There isn't a talent shortage even though that's all we hear. Over 4million global vacant jobs is laughable. And yes the job descriptions are trash. The key is networking...that should be your first step. Good insights.

@BenTruong Месяц назад

agreed, networking is huge

@tonyallen4403 Месяц назад

Omg you are speaking facts it’s so hard I’ve been trying for a year now and got an associates degree with security plus and network plus and CySA plus but they want 10 years of experience smh

@BenTruong Месяц назад

It really be like that, keep trying man your opportunity will come. All it takes is one company to believe in you

I just graduated with degree back in december but havent been able to get a internship or job yet. Its refreshing to hear that I have a chance still. Studying for security plus and trying to learn skills are alot to juggle lol. Thanks for the video Ben !

@hianimee Месяц назад

same here i'm going wgu online at the moment. have you been doing home labs?

@BenTruong Месяц назад

I love to see it, good luck on your studying!

@n1cfury Месяц назад

It reminds me of college in the sense that all the hard work you do to get your foot in the door is only enough to make it to day 1 of said job. Be sure to be looking ahead and over the horizon on what to do to advance. That said, be open to opportunities that create your own niche and build up a set of skills and roles to separate yourself from the pack.

Thank you 🙏

One thing I recommend is do about 2-5 years in either help desk or data center work, then scoot into some sort of administrator role like systems, do another 3-6 years doing that, and then you'll be more prepared for a cyber job or get really lucky.

@K__Leon Месяц назад

Nonsense. That sounds like insane procrastination or just advice to gatekeep people from never getting in by following your “recommendation” . I feel bad for people who actually believe what you wrote if they don’t know any better

Is Darril Gibson get certified get ahead 601 still any good in 2024?

@Wesjapa100 Месяц назад

8:53 I think asking for CISSP for an Entry-level position is probably even more laughable than asking for 2-3+ years of experience.

@BenTruong Месяц назад

lmao I thought it couldn’t get any worse, but they proved me wrong 😂

@nightwing09x Месяц назад

CISSP, CCNA and OSCP prereq to get into the field and 3 years of experience

@NN-oz6rr 26 дней назад

Doesn't CISSP require 5 years of relevant work experience before you can even take the exam? How does 5+ years of experience equate to entry level? Just goes to show how little these companies actually care about cybersecurity. If they did care, then they would provide training for REAL entry level positions (albeit with attainable requirements like certificates).

@nightwing09x 26 дней назад

Yea it’s 4 if u have BS or sec+ or higher can take without 5 exp

@LoneStarBassPursuit Месяц назад

Man just feeling discouraged.

@LewisMangoba Месяц назад

Especially recruiting companies like sparks group fucked me up. Well Us up. My case was they posted for a job says entry level It as a refresh technician/ repair technician basically fullfill customers needs for image and clean also testing peripherals but plot twist that that company needed warehouse handlers not entry level It technicians. No wonder why it says no experience required. Rn im honoring that contract to the end but next time they pull this shit im shitting on them.

I feel like all the RU-vidrs say the same thing as you... are you all friends and do you all follow the same script or is this your personal experience or are you a hiring manager speaking from experience? Thank you
