Hey Andrew! You interviewed me for a job back in Feburary of 2023. You didn't move forward with me as a candidate. But its good to see that you are here giving advice to the General Public. Hope OKTA is treating you well!
I have the CIAM-Certified Identity Access Manager certification from the Identity Management Institute, and I am working on the new Security+ now. I have seen a few companies asking for the CIAM cert. IMO, i think that is a good starter IAM cert to have as well.
I recently passed the okta certified administrator exam. I’m looking to get the Microsoft certified security compliance and identity fundamentals cert next. It looks like I’m on the right path. Great video.
Quick question. How come you are not able to get job offers? Have you gotten any job interviews and do you have any projects on your resume? Also, are you new to the IT field?
Are you to create a server add it to a domain? Then create group policies to lock down or grant access to certain features. Complete that add it to a resume you’ll get a job . And do the same in the cloud as well using conditional access etc
Hi I’m sorry for the late reply, getting a certification can help you get an interview but it’s not the all end be all. Like the others have commented, you need to make sure you have experience or project in addition to your resume. Are you getting calls back from recruiters or interviews?
Hi! You don’t need to be technical to be successful in IAM. You can choose a route to help folks by helping customers understand their IAM issues, for example, help them understand what are their gaps with their onboarding l (joiner) process. You can then have a technical team fix/implement the solution. I’m a firm believer in knowing the core concepts of IAM first. All are non technical.
Hi, I’m a recent graduate with a little IT experience, I‘m new to the IAM space, I have SC-300, CyberArk PAM & sec+ certs. I have Azure AD & Entra ID listed on my resume, I’ve been applying & little luck getting interviews what am I missing if you don’t mind?
Without seeing your resume, how are you showing the knowledge gained when achieving those certs? I think it’s awesome you have them. However, can you tell me why you want to use cyberark, why Pam, etc. Also, you said you had little it exp. I feel doing projects and adding them to your resume will help you with hiring managers. It shows you know how to apply what you’ve learned in the IAM space and that you can explain what you did and why.
If you are looking to work on projects implementing/maintaining IIQ, I feel it’s nice to have. It helps validate you know what you are doing and it could help you when it comes time for salary negotiations.
I would work on understanding the core concepts of IAM. I made earlier videos to help you. Once you get a better understanding, I feel you can start to get more hands-on training with free options like Okta.
I do hate those job req that require that, it's 2024, I think they shouldn't require a college degree anymore. I've worked with some amazing IAM folks who don't have a college degree. My hope is even the govt stops requiring it for contractors. My suggestion is to look at the bigger consulting firms (booz allen, deliotte, PWC, EY, Accenture, etc.) to see if they have jr iam roles. Trust me I get frustrated with the market. I also feel that showing you know your stuff using projects, etc could be looked upon as work equivalency. I do hope it changes soon, because IAM needs people who want to do good and IAM only getting bigger.
How big is your gap, is this something some hands on project work/hands on messing around in Okta or Azure can't fix? I don't care if your 19 or 50 + you know your IAM stuff and can help us, we should hire you.
@@AllThingsIAM more than 4 years. I was in Thailand when COVID struck and was stuck there for more than 2 years. I'm in Australia now. I will follow your advice from this video.
