Are you READY to apply for Cyber Security jobs? // The REAL Answer

[@vinodmahes8243]

Hi Jon, I am currently a QA Automation engineer at a consultancy firm, looking into cybersecurity space as its very interesting to me, but I feel like I will not be good enough. Please let me know what should I do so that I can transfer my current skills like bug hunting, coding etc into cybersecurity? Would really like your input on my situation 🙏

[@JonGoodCyber]

Anybody trying to get into this career field should start with my eBook's roadmap ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ). Transferrable skills aren't something that you have to force but you certainly have to build a solid foundation before anything else.

i need handson practice which certification is best is competia security+ is enoughfor practical knowledge

[@JonGoodCyber]

You can absolutely have hands-on experience for the Security+ if you actually practice with the tools that are in the exam objectives. That said, the Security+ by itself, isn't enough to prepare you for a job in IT nor Cybersecurity.

Hi Jon, Im in the 3d printing industry and im thinking going for may masters in cyber or deeper into 3D printing any thoughts would be great!

[@JonGoodCyber]

I recommend starting with my free eBook ( jongood.com/getstarted/ ) as it has a lot of information you'll find valuable.

[@adebayoadedeji326]

You mentioned Security+ and CISSP certifications in the same breath, are they comparable in scope and content?

[@JonGoodCyber]

My comment immediately after is important to consider...go for certifications that align with your career path and skill level. I have plenty of videos talking about the Security+ and the CISSP but the quick answer is there is some overlap between the materials but they are not targeted towards the same audience and have different requirements.

hi would it be possible for me to connect with as I have some questions about cyber security ?

[@JonGoodCyber]

You can certainly ask them here or you can also book Career Coaching with me on Cyber Training Pro ( www.cybertrainingpro.com/ ) where we can hop on a call and discuss the questions/situation.

Is the tech job market reversing anytime soon

[@JonGoodCyber]

What do you mean by is it reversing?

[@reinen9006]

@@JonGoodCyber tech job market was brutal for a while, layoffs, not many postings etc. Wondering if it’s starting to pick up again, havent looked in months

[@JonGoodCyber]

@@reinen9006 that was/is a function of the economy as a whole, not necessarily tied directly to the tech career field. I'm not going to dive into the specifics of how these things work, but essentially, there was a delay from when it was expected to happen versus when it actually happened. I expect to start seeing some stabilization and improvement going into the future, but changes in the market take time...which is why you should pursue skills employers NEED first and not necessarily what they WANT first.
