Separate yourself from the rest. Don’t have experience? Get experience, be resourceful. I am not stopping at the google cert, I am going for my Security+ cert. How can you show employers you have the skills? Set up a portfolio, and start diving into HTB, really learn the tools so you can be confident during an interview. You can do this, be persistent and stay focused.

Unfortunately just having a Google cert is not enough because hiring people don’t know how much VALUE it has. Compared to security + (most hyped up useless cert in my opinion) You need to build on your skills wherever job role you pick! And that’s something Google needs to mention because the job market is VERY competitive. Skills pay bills

This is a very useful and powerful message, the video is short but a lot of people have spent years searching for jobs and trying to build a career the wrong way. Thanks for this, am gonna post your video on tiktok.

Ok I gotta admit, this was a good video. I forced myself to get a Sec+ but although I scored very high. I rather spend more time with the hands on training. My friends and family put high value on certs, dipoloma, degrees etc.. Those are fine but it's been proven to me if you lack the skills needed without a plan. It's game over before you even get started.

This makes so much sense. I have a lot of work to do on myself, working on my technical skills and working on how to present myself(being an introvert).

I appreciate your effort to help us who are interested in this line of work but you have told us nothing regarding "leveraging our skills to get a job or add value". What I mean is, could you give us a clear example of how to do what you suggest? Thanks for the great content.

What do you suggest to someone in my position? I have the Google cert. Over the past 2 1/2-3 years I have at least 20 certs in various cyber security topics from Udemy, Coursea, Qualys, and Cybrary. I would specifically like to get into Cyberthreat. I have applied to over 100 entry level positions, but I haven’t received not one response. I’m trying to transition into this career after working in banking compliance. Cyberthreat seems similar to what I did as an AML Compliance Officer(Yes I have applied for GRC positions, but no responses). Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

@nicolefarrow6989 Ай бұрын

Thank you for this! I do have a couple of google certs and I’m building my portfolio of what I can do! I’m still in school but I’m in two outside courses to learn the skills to get into an entry level role asap! Is it possible for me to land an entry level job if I have a portfolio of the problems that I’ve solved!

@BoydClewis Ай бұрын

Great job, putting in the work! It's very possible to land a job with your portfolio. The biggest key is communicating what you've done and how you plan to help.

@georgewalker1508 Ай бұрын

This is the issue… some say the google cert is trash? So, grrrrr… it or is it not?

Will home labs and CTF challenges enhance one's skills for an entry job?

If you can talk about it and walk the interviwer thru an investigation. Then it proves you did the work.
