Too many of these 'no experience' needed' job offers aren't telling the truth. Many require you to have some levels of some type of technical experience prior to you being considered. It's not easy applying for these entry-level jobs. I have been looking and searching for over a year, and each time I read the job description and requirements, it's mostly skills I don't have or lack, so I don't apply. I am still looking for a great opened minded supportive encouraging company that's willing to work with me and train me to upskill my talent for that position. Any suggestions?
I don't deny the fact that finding an entry-level job (in any sector), especially right now is going to be difficult. But this doesn't mean that it's impossible. I started my cybersecurity career with no experience and know many others who started roles as a SWE, data analyst, etc straight out of a degree program or bootcamp. If you don't have the skills in a job description, I'd highly recommend doing technical projects to get those skills, Ex: even if it's experience using an SIEM, there are open-source tools youc an use for free toget that experience in a home lab. It's always going to be about continuous learning and getting the hands on experience on your own if you dont have technical internship or other experience on your resume. A good technical project portfolio + relevant certs WILL get you noticed by hiring managers. It won't be 100% on a company to train you, you can get training yourself through online courses and resources, it's all out there. I have a video on beginner cyber projects to get on your resume here: th-cam.com/video/zc7LTa9q2nI/w-d-xo.html Best of luck to you!!
@@WithSandra what!! There are so many data analyst jobs right now 🤫 let’s not tell everyone though ;) but I love SQL cell in love with it. Databases are used by pretty much every company so they need people who can “interact” with the DBs I saw the chart for 2024 “don’t know how accurate it is” but saw at least 3 charts saying SQL was right under JavaScript above Python
Oh yes definitely, 100%! I meant SQL doesn't seem very popular with candidates LOL, it's always spoken about in a "pain in the a**" kind of way 😆 It is very important though for any role that works with DBs
@@WithSandra SQL indeed is very clunky. And, what's more, different versions aren't really compatible. If I write an SQL script for Postgre, I can't just use it for MySQL or Oracle -- I'll need to adapt it for any particular DBMS. Fortunately, in many data analyst positions, one doesn't use SQL directly: in Python, in R, in Julia there are some convenient libraries that make extracting data from DBs much easier and less clunky. Yet even in these positions one needs to know some SQL, even if one doesn't write any SQL scripts directly.
Thank you so much, I don’t live in the US but this actually helped. Turns out I had already applied for some of these job types so at least I’m looking in the right direction but when watching this video I looked into some of the other job types and there are companies hiring so I hope I get an interview or feedback eventually.
Hi Sandra! I was impacted by Tech layoffs around 2 years ago. I wasn't too pleased with my Support roles, so I decided to have a career change. However I need to have a better understanding about which route to take. Is there any career consultant you might suggest? Thanks!
By the way there is no such thing as data security unless the company is utilizing a blockchain protocol. A determined hacker can compromise nearly any other system
Nope because once you get banned in 10 years because of *insert stupid a political thing that the internet now hates but was normal here*, you have no portfolio for a real job. Why would you be a TH-camr or streamer and only make $30 a month when you can just go to a cyber boot camp and make almost to exactly 6 figures in 2 years?
Content creator is definitely a short-term career lol.. I'm grateful to be able to have this platform but I know it's not going to be here forever. It's very different from a typical career path
@@elee9056 True, there are so many of these types of content creators its wild that they parrot bootcamps and entry-lvl jobs that pay 80k plus. Like you said they provide almost no value and just jump on the hype of "entry level Cybersecurity jobs that pay 100k+"
How can you get a job as a qa analyst aka software tester without exp? Same with other careers you typically should have 1 yr minimum or maybe you did internship in the past that would help

So when you say entry level how “ entry level “ these jobs are ? Because I’m definitely entry level , new to tech trying to grow but it’s so hard and it’s a lot of gate keeping , i have a job as a service desk coordinator but i don’t want to do this anymore i want to learn and grow and low key i feel like im being kept hostage i started reading and studying again but before i start applying to these jobs are these really good starts for someone who is entry level like myself
Hello! if you dont mind me asking, did you have any experience getting into service desk? I am currently studying for COMPTIA A+ with very little experience with computers.
According to glassdoor, the average salary for a data analyst in the US is $86k-137k: www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/data-analyst-salary-SRCH_KO0,12.htm Hope this helps!
Well, if you're going to let that stop you from trying to start a career (which I'm sure most high-paying fields are all white-male dominated), then it's a shame that you might miss out on many career options.

I should look for one of those sales engineer positions.
I was highly considering that at one point haha 😂
@@WithSandra I just might, I am pretty decent at sales.

There is no such thing as a entry level role.
I started my job in cybersecurity as an entry level role, if there are no entry level roles then none of us would ever start our careers lol..
@WithSandra tell me exactly how many jobs did you apply for to land your first role. College? How many certs.
Thank you for your tech explanation, and you look beautiful
Thank you! :) So glad this video is helpful 🙌
