Appreciate the mention. The Google IT Support course is a great course to learn fundamentals. What also helps is building a homelab and volunteering. Get some skills and experience on the resume.
@user-ft5rx3cg5t thanks bro, i watched professor messer's video's and been using chatgpt to help me make study guides, and I am also thinking about getting the pocket prep app so i can do all my practices questions before i take my test. Good Luck 💪🏽
@@Mercanians What do you need? Like stuff to study for CompTIA A+?? If you are taking the A+ i highly recommend buying some practice tests for like $10-$20 on Udemy. The free practice tests online suck & aren't as close to the actual test.
That's what's up and great story/journey that you shared. Cool that you kept going (learning and studying) while applying and interviewing and gaining confidence and knowledge of what would be asked in future interviews as well. A lot of folks do get discouraged and give up after a few interviews without offers, so it is dope to hear. New to the channel and I'll check out some more of your content. Keep doing your thing and know that the best is yet to come!
I was sick of dealing with them damn customers, but wanted to get in the computers, so I just started the Google Cyber security course a couple months ago. Almost done. I appreciate the helpful content and good luck on ya journey ✊🏽! Stay up!
@@SuperHiRaMMAt least there would be like a Customer success or Account manager who interacts with the customer directly not him anymore. Dealing with customers is stressful and I am also looking at pivoting into cybersecurity because I don’t want to have to relate with some rude disgruntled customers.
Super helpful you did awesome,I'm 46 transitioning from maintenance tech to IT and I start school in three weeks I'm going to watch all your vids and taken all the advice you given to strst a foundation before I even get into class thank you much.
Though you’re a beginner, you tackled this video like a pro. Really appreciate the insight. I’m in the infancy stages of my journey to cybersecurity and I appreciate your perspective.
Much success to you. I hope you will be able to look back at this video at some point down the line and be the successful person you're striving to be. 👍🏾
@@rubanm4026 CCNA is a bit harder, but there is a lot of overlap. CCNA is like everything from Network+ but then they add some Cisco specific stuff on top. Network+ is vendor neutral, while CCNA is Cisco.
Hey, sis, great video. I'm definitely subscribed. I already have my A+ and I want to test on google it support certificate. Does it cost money to take the exam? If I take the 7 day trial does it includes the exam?
@@locumaniaHi there! Have you managed to finish the course during the free period? If so, hope you cancelled your subscription for the course, otherwise, you will get charged. Atleast that's what happened to me. I finish the course during the free period but I was still charged. I had to prove my case and in the end I was refunded. I was told because I was new to the platform (coursera) and that was my 1st course, they would refund me, but I should be aware of that in the future, to cancel the course as soon as it's completed.
Great video, great advice, great resources. I'm on Google Cybersecurity Certificate right now. I sure subscribed to your channel. Wish you a great and amazing things on your journey.
I personally work from home but I think it’ll depend what industry you’re working in. Most won’t know what you look like as far as tattoos until you meet in person.
I also did a course for cybersecurity professional certification and obtained a certificate but not getting any invitation for an interview I always apply for a job in LinkedIn but not working😢
Great video...Was your first helpdesk job remote and did you get the job by using a contracting agency? Also are you remote now working in Cybersecurity?
Yes I was remote when I got my first helpdesk job and still remote with my cybersecurity job as it’s with same company. I found this particular company on indeed. I wouldn’t limit my job search to indeed sometimes you have to go on companies individual career page to find things too
Hey Vicious. Appreciate the video. Do you know how tough it is to go into a junior cybersecurity role? I did take the Google IT support cert and have 8 months of helpdesk experience. Now I'm currently jobless and studying for my certs. I think I want to try to pursue a network analyst role first before going into cybersecurity
Yeah, I would probably study for Network+ or CCNA, etc. & get into a Networking job first. It will help you have the foundation on knowing Networking, which will help for Security. But if you REALLY wanna jump into security right away, you can just study some Network+ stuff real quick and then get a Security Cert. (I forget the best ones, KevTech has some good interviews with people in Cyber-Security who mention good certs & resources)
I'm sorry if you answered the question already but from when you had completed the google Coursera cert to the point where you got your first help desk job how much time had passed or you had put in at that point?

100% agreed!
Volunteer where
@blazwilson7243 plenty of cybersecurity conferences that ask for volunteers. Just need to search online. Bsides is one.
Studying for my comptia a+ now. Good video💯
Good luck on your journey! Congratulations on passing in advance!
Gf luck in your journey. Just started revising n please any resources you are using?

I hollered when I read your comment. LOL. Dealing with customers is a nuisance ...LOL.

How is your studies going? Is the CCNA much harder than the Net+?
@@rubanm4026 CCNA is a bit harder, but there is a lot of overlap. CCNA is like everything from Network+ but then they add some Cisco specific stuff on top.
Network+ is vendor neutral, while CCNA is Cisco.
Thanks for sharing your story and these tips you have provided.
Glad you like them!
Your vibe is dope ! Thank you for this info!
Good video! Well put and done ✔️

Yes you can do the free trial for 7 days and take the certificate for free
Now that's what I needed! Thanks ✊🏿

What are some good resources to look into for passing the A+?
I love your well arranged set of white teeth and your calming voice 👌
Very informative, thank you!
Glad i found this
Great video, great advice, great resources. I'm on Google Cybersecurity Certificate right now. I sure subscribed to your channel. Wish you a great and amazing things on your journey.
Welcome aboard!
Aaah so inspiring you do tech and music also this is what I’m planning to do as I’m an artist/producer myself
Go for it!
Keep it up! Cyber and Tech is Awesome! ✌🏽😎
Always!
Almost finished the Google SOC analyst course with no experience
Congratulations!!! You got it!
Great story!
Great vid💯. I'm starting my journeyto get into IT but I have one concern. Do most companiescare if you have hand tattoos?
I personally work from home but I think it’ll depend what industry you’re working in. Most won’t know what you look like as far as tattoos until you meet in person.
I also did a course for cybersecurity professional certification and obtained a certificate but not getting any invitation for an interview I always apply for a job in LinkedIn but not working😢
Are you working cyber security from home?
Yes

Junior Cybersecurity roles can be tough because even though they say “entry level” sometimes they still want 2-3 years of experience

It was about 4 months after I got the Google Cert
thank you for replying…I appreciate the feedback…continue being awesome during your journey 👍🏾
Thank you I appreciate you! Good luck on your journey as well
Wonder how ur doing now?
Can we get IT helpdesk role REMOTELY while working from India?
Yes, you just have to find jobs that allow international work
Can I get into the google IT tech support training course without a diploma or GED?
Sorry I'm late but yes
@@whois.ViciousChxld ok great and thank you.
Do you think it's too late join IT with 35 yrs old ?
