    It’s funny you mentioned the “tell me about yourself” question because my friend and I were talking about that interview question yesterday 😂

    I do Udemy, and take the Total Seminars CompTIA A+ core 1101 and core 1102.
    Im using Chat GPT to take notes and I pretty much type in acronyms and watch the videos and take great notes. 👍 works well for me

      It has a certain number of questions you can ask it per hour, even if you upgrade to the new version, though. It is best to get the study book and truly go over the material, especially if you have a no tech related background such as myself (musician and armed security guard). @@faeriehacker

    Just wanted to say thank you and congratulations in your new job, I find your video very insightful and with lots of good advice. I was wondering if you were switching careers, if so would be interesting to know what was your background, I'm also curious if you were actively searching for open positions and what was your process to identify the right ones, did you struggle with overthinking which path to take and what training to do?

    • @faeriehacker
      @faeriehacker  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You’re welcome, and thank you! My job before this was working in health insurance. Before that I was a freelance web developer for about 3 years. And had some tech support experience as well. Yes, I was actively searching. I had even told my boss at the time that I was going to be applying for cybersecurity roles so to plan for my notice in the near future. I overthought for a few months which route to go, but I prayed a lot during that time for guidance and clarity and ultimately landed on SOC analyst as the right path for me. WGU gave me the study path and I’m still studying now. Hope that helps!

    Emphasis on being intentional. I see so many LinkedIn headers that have help desk positions and security analyst. This can be confusing to recruiters and leave you empty handed. The two positions are completely different.
