I fill out the form but didn't get your feedback

I served from 2010 - 2016. Does it matter that I got out 8 years ago?? I've been working in sales since then. For the last 2 years I have been studying cyber at CIAT and completed a CPPT bootcamp from Divergence and still can't get an interview/job.

I'd try for your Sec+ if you haven't gotten it already and then try contracting. I went through Divergence -> Sec+ -> Helpdesk -> Sysadmin.

Which cybersecurity speciality is bulletproof for outsourced? Meaning it can not be outsourced... IT is a great industry however it's consistently outsourced to other nations?

[@nicoleenesse]

Hmm that is hard one .

@@nicoleenesse I am in the process of not reenlisting. I currently have a bachelors degree in business, and I just started my master’s in Cyber Operations. I am also doing some coursera and CompTIA certs. What certificates would you recommend to anyone who is getting out of the military?

[@mindcapsoulmedia3409]

Wait , SANS for free ? How …

[@DallasFort1857]

How is SANS free for veterans?

[@DigitalHoplite]

Look up SANS veteran immersion program it’s like a scholarship program. Alternatively you can use your gi bill on grad certs

[@DallasFort1857]

@@DigitalHoplite Do we have to pay out of pocket?

[@DigitalHoplite]

@@DallasFort1857 if you get accepted for the veteran immersion program it’s completely free but you have to apply and aren’t guaranteed acceptance. If you do get it in I believe 4 certifications are included. For the gi bill if you do a degree or a grad cert from them the gi bill will cover tuition. The only bad thing about the grad cert path is I don’t think you are enrolled in enough credit hours at a time to get BAH.

An IT specialist in the Army??? Well, of course, you transitioned nicely into a cybersecurity career because you were already in the industry, so simply being a veteran without a related job in the service really means nothing in this context to career-changing veterans like me. But thanks anyway

[@nicoleenesse]

You have a clearance. Did you watch the video?
