I started in June, and this week, on the first of October, I got a trainee position in cybersecurity. I completed the Google course, the Cisco course, and the TryHackMe course. I also took a course offered by a university near my home. Besides that, what definitely helped me was the CV in that format. I started job hunting and within a week, I had two interviews. In one, I got the job, in the other, I didn’t, but that doesn't matter haha. Thanks ❤
@@rousselnzembampassi5638 I completed the 'Junior Cybersecurity Analyst' course, which is available for free on their Netacad page. It's a total of 8 courses
As someone who broke into cyber I can confirm this video is a terrific way to learn and develop the skills and foundation needed. This gentleman absolutely knows what he is talking about.
I keep being told by folks on Reddit and Facebook that it is almost impossible to get into cyber security without going through a crappy helpdesk job. Not sure what to do from here.
@@insulinresistantpotato4281 There is still a chance, but it always depends on the job market. Being that at the moment, the market has been tough, starting with HelpDesk is what of the best ways to get in, even if it's for 6 months to a year. Starting with some kind of IT support job is one of the best ways to get in and will make your transition into Cyber much more easier. Plus, it will give you tons of great experience with the fundamentals and you will feel way more comfortable and knowledgeable once you transfer from a HelpDesk role to a Cyber role.
❤❤❤ You are so helpful always! I recently started a job as a contractor in IAM! I have education and some experience, but still was a struggle to find something in cybersecurity.
I am starting today, as a complete begginer. I'll be back in 6 months to confirm my progress. I know it's not gonna be easy but I've already braced for impact. If you're starting anytime soon, join me...
Today, October 5th, 2024, marks the beginning of my journey towards securing my first job. I'll follow the guidance, stay dedicated, and work hard. Let's see how long it takes for me to return with the news of landing my first role!
I came across your video in July and enrolled for the Google Cybersecurity. Following your advice I took up hands on lab and add them to the resume. Fast forward to November, I'm offered a SOC Analyst position. I was doing a 300hrs/month shift work and manage to squeeze in learning on my free time commuting and rest hours. Thank you for your guidance. It's a fun process and it's only just the beginning of my career switch.
I had a different path not set in stone but i will definitely switch to this. I had started the Google course and stopped but i will definitely get back to it. I have a new baby with my Wife coming in January and my goal is to be out of the trucking industry and possibly/hopefully working remotely at home to better support my family not just financially but being there physically the majority of the day. Thanks UnixGuy🙏🏾
Same here. Except I didn't know what I was doing so I took a massive pay cut from trucking. But at least I work from home now. Just a help desk guy atm
@@kevinpowers2874 congrats to you sir you’re on your way since you’re in already. If the pay cut aint much I’ll do it too once i get in position because like u said it’s priceless to be able to work from home and u can do over employment depending on the job and position.
"I’m starting my journey on 10/28/2024, and I’ll update you after 6 months. If you see this comment, please click 👍 to help remind me to stay focused."

THANK U SO MUCH I NEEDED THIS VIDEO I HAVE SO MUCH COURSES SO MUCH INFO BUT DONT KNOW WHERE TO START U GAVE SOME PATH YOU ARE LIKE AN ELDER BROTHER GOD BLESS YOU☺
Thank you so much for showing the path. I have always wanted to learn cyber security but didn't know where to start. I know this journey will be tough, but i promise to push through. I will be back to testify.
I've been watching you for a month now.I am a chef on a running vessel/ship for 8 months every contract here in Europe.When I saw your video for the first time I said to myself this is what I really want to be,and this kind of job is the right for me. You are an "angel",I hope you keep continue your videos about cybersecurity to help other people who's seeking the right career for them.Thank you very much UnixGuy.May the Lord God bless you more😇
I recall when you did a similar video to this last year and thanks to you a landed my first Cybersecurity jobs as a SOC Analyst. I think I mentioned the interview to you around February so the recruitment process was long but I'm finally where I wish I was a year ago now.
As someone who has roughly a decade of experience, this roadmap is incredible! Thank you for releasing this and potentially helping a lot of us get the true roadmap that we needed!
Hi, can you please tell me wehter this will be worth pursuing if I don't have a bachelor degree in this? I'm a med student, but I'm thinking about getting into this. Will it be worth it, if I actually stick to it even if I don't have a it's degree?
I started at 2th of September. Just finished the Google Certificate last week. Can’t wait to start applying for entry level jobs . I will comeback to this video in 6 months .
I am starting today 6th October 2024 and I will also report back in 6 months. Good luck to those who have started and those of us who are also looking to start. All the best. Thank you @unixGuy.
This is gold advice for those preparing to get into the door. I am in the middle of gaining GRC mastery. I will take it step by step. Thank you so much!
It’s crazy you mentioned the local cybersecurity groups and conferences I just started researching these 2 days ago definitely going to join all in my city🙌🏾
I am starting my cyber security journey from October i am coming back to testify and it's going to be obvious that i love cyber security with passion God bless our mentor
This video couldn't have landed better. I have the Google cert and Security+ and I'm working on CYSA. I will dive right into your plan; just watched this video three times and took notes. Thank you so much!

I wanna start getting involved in cyber security but Im rlly scared. I dont know where to start from, how to start, how to do anything basically. Everyone's been telling me how hard cyber security is and that I should definitely have a good plan b. But Im so glad I've found this channel! Every video I've watched has made me less anxious about starting this journey. Thank you so much :D
I have 20+yrs of experience in IT, always been a tech guy but off late moved to management. I will be making a comeback to technology again started with cybersecurity basics...This video is very helpful and also motivating ! thank you Unix Guy
This video is absolutely amazing, I’m pursuing my B.S. in cybersecurity and have been racking my brain on how to get great supplemental learning and experience and this video feels like it appeared just in time. Thank you!!!!
Took the decision 4 days ago. Got a month of self tutoring through free information on the internet before getting myself into any programs with at least some self thought background knowledge
Thank you for laying out this path. I started the Google certification and will go through each of these steps one by one. I’m doing Network + and Security + in tandem because I work for the government, and they love ticking boxes.
I am 44 years old, and I am starting today my journey, Thanks Unix guy to encourage me to do it. I have read and watched a lot of videos and podcast and this is no doubt the best and structured roadmap. Wish me luck guys
Thanks for the push I needed. I know I am a security person but I was trying to live life of someone else in IT which I hated and wasn't even able to learn even simple concepts. My Mind my life roams around security and my first love is cyber sec Red team. Really thanks I think i saw your video at right time. No excuses now, even though I am strugling with my finances or my status I will become a Red teamer/Pen tester now.
Thanks again for the great advice. I'm following the Cyber Analyst roadmap, but I'll still take the great pointers from this video and circle back to GRC mastery after I finish the Blue Team Level 1 training.
Hlw ... please let me know what's the road map for cyber analysts ...I wanna be analysts but I can't get what to learn and how to learn Ie ...what to study first then after that ..i mix up those things
Thank God i found your video, i recently passed my comptia security+ exam and passed with no real hand experience, i appreciate your video because i really need what next to focus on to build on my knowledge and experience.
You are very good. I have always felt overwhelmed, but your videos have really touched so many challenges on how to navigate into the training. I am currently doing a Google professional certification course. I am left with 3 videos to finish.
I'm grateful to live in the same timeline as unixguy. I will follow every step mentioned in the video precisely. I will come back once I get my first job in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.
Wow! This has got to be the most in-depth point for point video I've come across on this topic. Thank you so much for the valuable guidance and advice. My official studying begins on Monday -I'm so optimistic & ready to absorb. This is encouraging!! x
You’re genuinely great. You’re been helping me a lot with this - and my life is about to change for the better. Thanks for sharing this info for whatever reason you do it. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Hey, to be honest, I have been completely lost I completed high school two years ago, and then after I had no idea what I wanted to do. That’s when cybersecurity caught my attention. But another issue came across, regarding rather should I go to college or do certificates online. But to be completely honest this video opened my eyes in an amazing way. The way you explained everything made a lot of sense to me, And I have watched a lot of videos of different ppl, but you really did it well. 👏🏽 I personally want to do the certification route rather than college 🙂. The way you put everything in order was extremely helpful. Thank you for your work. 🎉
thank you so much ❤❤love from Nigeria i am so glad i stumbled upon this i have been so confused all this while on how to go about this 😥😥 thank once again, my heart is full of gratitude
Thank you so much for all the hard work and incredibly helpful information you're providing the world with for free. I've been feeling so discouraged and crushed with self doubt about getting into cybersecurity, but your videos have sincerely changed my outlook completely. I'm feeling more confident than ever before on this journey and things are finally starting to click. It's a new world to me so I'm still nervous, but man I'm really excited. Thank you again mate, you're changing lives for the absolute best.
@@UnixGuy Hey man! I would love to follow your Social Media Handles can you drop any here? Also, I want to be your mentee in this tech journey. Thanks in anticipation of your response.
After my gradution in 2012, I always want to be in Cyber security, due to some personal reasons i am working as an Electrical Engineer, Now I am planning to switch my career into Cybersecurity, I searched alot for 6 months roadplan, But finally in 2024, I have only 6 months in my contract left to work as Electrical Engineer, I will follow this Roadmap for the next 6 months , but the Career change at real time experience is the matters for the next one year to learn and survive in this field. I hope you will guide me, please. Thanks for this video.
Hey, I'm about to study Electronic and Electrical Engineering. Would you recommend me to study it - I heard that most Engineers at the end tend to get into IT Roles later on, and I feel like its better for me to start my Cybersecurity Journey early, but also completing a degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering as a degree is worth it on the side.
Today is Nov 19, 2024. I’ve started Google Cybersecurity Certification thru a reccomendation from a friend. I’m on Course 3 and will follow this route from the video. Thanks for sharing all this info 🙌 I’ll be back in 6 months
I have been watching your videos alongside Madhat's and the truth is that it took less than 8 months to land a job in CySec. Of course I was an IT professional, but I do believe your work really helped me, especially on difficult moments when no company responded back ❤ sharing is caring man, and you know it
I have the Security+, thank you for the additional guidance, I will look at the Google Cert still and also your GRC course and go from them. Been aimlessly “learning” things and doing some labs since I got the Security+ so at least this gives me some direction. I heard of the forage site before and did one internship, will make sure to do more once I get to that point, no skipping ahead.
@@onyedikachimereze how are you doing? It’s going on well, just finished some courses on Cisco network and I’m looking forward to GRC path but I’m still hoping for mentor that will see me through.
Thank you so much for this information! I’ve been contemplating a cybersecurity degree at a local college but have been hesitant because I didn’t know if I’d like it. This helps because I can do these trainings and see, then continue with the rest of your plan if I do like it. Thanks again!
I appreciate your videos brother. They have been an eye opener. I always wanted to do Cyber Security and your road maps have certainly opened my eyes that it can be done. I always assumed it was not reachable and needed years of experience. I am working on my learning as I am fascinated with the Cloud as well as security.
I am starting today 17th October, 2024. Thank you so much UnixGuy for this guidance ❤ after 6 months I am going to share my success story in front of you all 😊
Thanks Sir, way to go! I am a career shifter and it seems like really overwhelming until I saw this video on YT's recommendation. With your guidance video right here, it made a lot more sense! God Bless You and more power! 💘
Just finished my Google Cybersecurity course this morning at work! Can't wait to get things together when my weekend starts and get things going! You and a bunch of other people I subscribe to on TH-cam have been a big help in my progress to moving into my new career. Thank you for your advice. :)
I jumped on Coursera today and completed Module 1 in Google CS and Im not looking back. I graduated a webdev bootcamp in San Antonio 2 years ago when the tech industry shed 200,000 jobs. Im now looking to take those technical skills and apply them to CS! My goal is to have a job by April 2025
I’ve been watching for a while now and I must say you give the best critical information.. I have completed a “Cybersecurity for Everyone” course on coursera but if I watched this video first I might have saved myself some time.. thank you otherwise brother!
@@UnixGuy thank you for the insight 🙏 I am starting the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate & from there I’ll follow more of the tips you listed. Wish me luck brother!
I appreciate the content and help for us people interested in this career! Instead of wasting my time in college classes I could care less about like I’ve been doing the last year, I’ve enjoyed learning a lot from your content and insight. I already have the rest of my 2024 mapped out and am ready for the grind. Once again, thank you!
About to finish my ISC2 CC and start college classes (for free up to an associate's in cyber with my grants/scholarships.) Unfortunately as I'm 18 I only have limited experience with IT jobs/internships, but I'll adapt my current plan using your advice and will continue to learn until I'm skilled enough to land my first job in cyber. Many thanks!
Thank you for this sir, you are really motivating me to continue studying. I didn't know how to write my resume as I am changing careers from hospitality to Cyber Security.
Thank you so much for this breakdown 🙏🏾 I’ve always wanted a job in tech but was never sure what to focus on. I will give this a try 💯 I will let you know when I get my first job as well. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾
Thank you for the video, was perfect timing. I just recently finished the google certification and have a 2 month break from uni so will follow this roadmap😃
@@abdullahshahid4595 hey man, it took me around 5-6 months as i was doing it in my spare time while studying in uni. I reckon if you spend around 2hrs a day should be done by around 3-4 months. Just be consistent. Good luck
Just when I was in my greatest dilemma your video is no short of a blessing in disguise. I am starting my journey today and will surely report every month.....
@@UnixGuy I was part of a cybersecurity training program called Cybergirls organized by Cybersafe foundation. It is a female focused cybersecurity training program for young African women and I was privileged to be part of it.
Thanks for this guide, I was a programmer who transition to the cybersecurity team in my company, it was always my dream and now I was a little lost on what certificate to get and when to get more training, you really help me a lot!
@@revanaxundov For me it doesn't feel I throw away nothiung, the are a lot of advatanges of knowing how to code in cybersec, also a lot of tools, automation, knoledge in it in general is really good. I did not transition to a jr role either. Remember most jobs a looking for someone with a lot of experience, there are little entry level cybersec jobs that actually pays well or are very interesting out there.
Very helpful, thank you so much Abed, I am trying to get my cousin and a friend into Cybersecurity and this will definitely make things more structured. 🙏🏻
Sir there is a problem mostly jobs require bachelors degree so what to do ? I just finished high school and I want to do certifications of cyber security instead of degree but after courses how can I get a entry level job when they require college degree I am very confused.shouod I go for college degree as for masters you do need a degree so I'm confused about these certifications and degree . please guide me
Apply to them anyway. If you have experience documented on your resume and certifications you may still get an interview. Then it is up to your skills, both interpersonal and technical.
Today is 11/17/2024. I’m retiring from my career as a NYPD Detective and looking to completely switch careers. I’ll follow your steps and let you know how it goes at every step. Thanks for the strategy!
Hello my friend finally I was approved by a government funded course Cyber security Bootcamp online class level 3 with guaranteed interview on completion and certification, starting on the 18th Tuesday next week,14 weeks length course every Tuesday 8 hours. I am planning to do during or after cyber security my Linux online course that I purchased already and I really like your GRC course as well Cloud security but it's a long way to get there I believe.

Thank God i found your video, i recently passed my comptia security+ exam and passed with no real hand experience, i appreciate your video because i really need what next to focus on to build on my knowledge and experience.
Happy to help 🤝🏻
You are very good. I have always felt overwhelmed, but your videos have really touched so many challenges on how to navigate into the training.
I am currently doing a Google professional certification course. I am left with 3 videos to finish.
best of luck 👏🏻
Started Google cert yesterday , found your vid today . I’ll be back to state my testimony in 6 months
Can’t wait 🤝🏻
Thank you for this plan, I will definitely follow all the steps after my exams and update you after landing my first job in Cybersecurity
Wonderful! good luck!
I'm grateful to live in the same timeline as unixguy.
I will follow every step mentioned in the video precisely. I will come back once I get my first job in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.
Can’t wait to hear about your success 👏🏻
Wow! This has got to be the most in-depth point for point video I've come across on this topic. Thank you so much for the valuable guidance and advice. My official studying begins on Monday -I'm so optimistic & ready to absorb. This is encouraging!! x
you got this 👏🏻
You’re genuinely great. You’re been helping me a lot with this - and my life is about to change for the better. Thanks for sharing this info for whatever reason you do it. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Glad that I’m a small part of your journey, keep kicking goals!
Hey, to be honest, I have been completely lost I completed high school two years ago, and then after I had no idea what I wanted to do. That’s when cybersecurity caught my attention. But another issue came across, regarding rather should I go to college or do certificates online. But to be completely honest this video opened my eyes in an amazing way. The way you explained everything made a lot of sense to me, And I have watched a lot of videos of different ppl, but you really did it well. 👏🏽 I personally want to do the certification route rather than college 🙂. The way you put everything in order was extremely helpful. Thank you for your work. 🎉
Enjoy the journey 👏🏻
thank you so much
❤❤love from Nigeria
i am so glad i stumbled upon this
i have been so confused all this while on how to go about this 😥😥
thank once again, my heart is full of gratitude
welcome here 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for all the hard work and incredibly helpful information you're providing the world with for free. I've been feeling so discouraged and crushed with self doubt about getting into cybersecurity, but your videos have sincerely changed my outlook completely.
I'm feeling more confident than ever before on this journey and things are finally starting to click. It's a new world to me so I'm still nervous, but man I'm really excited.
Thank you again mate, you're changing lives for the absolute best.
keep it up 👏🏻
@@UnixGuy thanks mate!!
This is the most detailed cybersecurity video I have ever watched on TH-cam. it is well-detailed. Thank you so much.
I'm glad you found it helpful! 🤝🏻
@@UnixGuy Hey man!
I would love to follow your Social Media Handles can you drop any here?
Also, I want to be your mentee in this tech journey.
Thanks in anticipation of your response.

Thank you so much Unix Guy, I'm about to finish my first Introduction certificate, I must do the GRC cert too .
best of luck!
@productofGodmercy what certificate are you planning to pursue ? I am in the same journey
are you using the google cert he mentioned?
I had already knew half of these ...but man!...thanks for making it so clear and concise for me... I will come back for testimonial inshaa Allah
Make it happen 👏🏻
After my gradution in 2012, I always want to be in Cyber security, due to some personal reasons i am working as an Electrical Engineer, Now I am planning to switch my career into Cybersecurity, I searched alot for 6 months roadplan, But finally in 2024, I have only 6 months in my contract left to work as Electrical Engineer, I will follow this Roadmap for the next 6 months , but the Career change at real time experience is the matters for the next one year to learn and survive in this field. I hope you will guide me, please. Thanks for this video.
Follow the recommendations in the video, it has all the guidance that you need! good luck!
Hey, I'm about to study Electronic and Electrical Engineering.
Would you recommend me to study it - I heard that most Engineers at the end tend to get into IT Roles later on, and I feel like its better for me to start my Cybersecurity Journey early, but also completing a degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering as a degree is worth it on the side.
Today is Nov 19, 2024. I’ve started Google Cybersecurity Certification thru a reccomendation from a friend. I’m on Course 3 and will follow this route from the video. Thanks for sharing all this info 🙌 I’ll be back in 6 months
🤝🏻
I have been watching your videos alongside Madhat's and the truth is that it took less than 8 months to land a job in CySec. Of course I was an IT professional, but I do believe your work really helped me, especially on difficult moments when no company responded back ❤ sharing is caring man, and you know it
well done and congrats on landing the job 🤝🏻
I have the Security+, thank you for the additional guidance, I will look at the Google Cert still and also your GRC course and go from them. Been aimlessly “learning” things and doing some labs since I got the Security+ so at least this gives me some direction. I heard of the forage site before and did one internship, will make sure to do more once I get to that point, no skipping ahead.
Good luck 👏🏻
Coming back to this in 6 months … documentary my journey here.

Hey Busayo, how is it going so far? I’m just getting started.
@@onyedikachimereze how are you doing?
It’s going on well, just finished some courses on Cisco network and I’m looking forward to GRC path but I’m still hoping for mentor that will see me through.
Thank you so much for this information! I’ve been contemplating a cybersecurity degree at a local college but have been hesitant because I didn’t know if I’d like it. This helps because I can do these trainings and see, then continue with the rest of your plan if I do like it. Thanks again!
Good luck Brandy! yes you can give it ago for a fraction of what college costs!
I appreciate your videos brother. They have been an eye opener. I always wanted to do Cyber Security and your road maps have certainly opened my eyes that it can be done. I always assumed it was not reachable and needed years of experience. I am working on my learning as I am fascinated with the Cloud as well as security.
Enjoy the journey 👏🏻

I am starting today 17th October, 2024. Thank you so much UnixGuy for this guidance ❤ after 6 months I am going to share my success story in front of you all 😊
Good luck with your journey! 🤝
Good to see you back 😊. Quality video as usual, so informative thanks Abed 👌🏼
My pleasure! More good stuff to come :)
Thanks Sir, way to go! I am a career shifter and it seems like really overwhelming until I saw this video on YT's recommendation. With your guidance video right here, it made a lot more sense! God Bless You and more power! 💘
Good luck Lorenzo 👏🏻
Just finished my Google Cybersecurity course this morning at work! Can't wait to get things together when my weekend starts and get things going!
You and a bunch of other people I subscribe to on TH-cam have been a big help in my progress to moving into my new career. Thank you for your advice. :)
good luck 👏🏻
How long it took you to finish?
I jumped on Coursera today and completed Module 1 in Google CS and Im not looking back. I graduated a webdev bootcamp in San Antonio 2 years ago when the tech industry shed 200,000 jobs. Im now looking to take those technical skills and apply them to CS! My goal is to have a job by April 2025

Thank you very much Sir, will start to follow this process, and will keep here posted
All the best!
I’ve been watching for a while now and I must say you give the best critical information.. I have completed a “Cybersecurity for Everyone” course on coursera but if I watched this video first I might have saved myself some time.. thank you otherwise brother!
you haven’t lost much, the course you did is good and the knowledge won’t be lost :)
@@UnixGuy thank you for the insight 🙏 I am starting the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate & from there I’ll follow more of the tips you listed. Wish me luck brother!
I appreciate the content and help for us people interested in this career!
Instead of wasting my time in college classes I could care less about like I’ve been doing the last year, I’ve enjoyed learning a lot from your content and insight. I already have the rest of my 2024 mapped out and am ready for the grind.
Once again, thank you!
Best of luck 🤝🏻
About to finish my ISC2 CC and start college classes (for free up to an associate's in cyber with my grants/scholarships.) Unfortunately as I'm 18 I only have limited experience with IT jobs/internships, but I'll adapt my current plan using your advice and will continue to learn until I'm skilled enough to land my first job in cyber. Many thanks!
good luck!
I am starting this journey, will update in 7 months.
good luck!
Thank you for this sir, you are really motivating me to continue studying. I didn't know how to write my resume as I am changing careers from hospitality to Cyber Security.
you got this 🤝🏻
I'm half way there and I will update after I land the job thank you
Good luck!
how much time did it take for you to complete the google certification??
Thank you so much for this breakdown 🙏🏾 I’ve always wanted a job in tech but was never sure what to focus on. I will give this a try 💯 I will let you know when I get my first job as well. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾
You got this!
Thank you for the video, was perfect timing. I just recently finished the google certification and have a 2 month break from uni so will follow this roadmap😃
Enjoy it 👏🏻
how much time did it take for you to finish your google certification??
@@abdullahshahid4595 Hey man, took me about 5 months, but if your consistent and spend around 2hrs a day. Can probably get it done less than that
@@abdullahshahid4595 hey man, it took me around 5-6 months as i was doing it in my spare time while studying in uni. I reckon if you spend around 2hrs a day should be done by around 3-4 months. Just be consistent. Good luck
Just when I was in my greatest dilemma your video is no short of a blessing in disguise. I am starting my journey today and will surely report every month.....
Let's do this!! 🚀

I'll try this, see you in 6 months :D
Enjoy the journey!
Thanks for this guide, I was a programmer who transition to the cybersecurity team in my company, it was always my dream and now I was a little lost on what certificate to get and when to get more training, you really help me a lot!
you have a great background and it’s a big advantage for you to start with! good luck
but you spent many years for to teach programing. and now you throw it away. and start something new. is it right?
@@revanaxundov knowledge is not lost, there is cross over and people like to try different things
@@revanaxundov For me it doesn't feel I throw away nothiung, the are a lot of advatanges of knowing how to code in cybersec, also a lot of tools, automation, knoledge in it in general is really good. I did not transition to a jr role either. Remember most jobs a looking for someone with a lot of experience, there are little entry level cybersec jobs that actually pays well or are very interesting out there.
Very helpful, thank you so much Abed, I am trying to get my cousin and a friend into Cybersecurity and this will definitely make things more structured. 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
You rock!!! Thank you for all you do.
🙏🏻
I am starting Today, will report back in 6 Months or after I get my first job! Best of luck everyone
good luck!
Sir there is a problem mostly jobs require bachelors degree so what to do ? I just finished high school and I want to do certifications of cyber security instead of degree but after courses how can I get a entry level job when they require college degree I am very confused.shouod I go for college degree as for masters you do need a degree so I'm confused about these certifications and degree . please guide me
there are so many jobs that dont require bachelors, apply to those!
Apply to them anyway. If you have experience documented on your resume and certifications you may still get an interview. Then it is up to your skills, both interpersonal and technical.
Today is 11/17/2024. I’m retiring from my career as a NYPD Detective and looking to completely switch careers. I’ll follow your steps and let you know how it goes at every step. Thanks for the strategy!
Law enforcement background is a huge asset! good luck 🤝🏻
Thanks mate, another great video giving me hope! 😅
Glad to hear it!
Starting my journey will come back, after six months thanks
Good luck!
Hello my friend finally I was approved by a government funded course Cyber security Bootcamp online class level 3 with guaranteed interview on completion and certification, starting on the 18th Tuesday next week,14 weeks length course every Tuesday 8 hours. I am planning to do during or after cyber security my Linux online course that I purchased already and I really like your GRC course as well Cloud security but it's a long way to get there I believe.
enjoy the journey!
