[@papouzegreyawo4090]

The main reason it’s so difficult to enter the domain is because most companies are clueless! They want someone already ready to do everything from day 1 and are not willing to teach or let them learn. NOBODY can be an expert in all tools and expertise out there, but sometimes the amount of requirement is crazy and makes nonsense. Sometimes asking 5y experience for a product that exist only for 2y! Additionally, lots of HR and recruiters out there know nothing about the technical aspect of the job and just put a bunch of words and credentials together asking candidates to filled everything up. Until they change their mindset, the market will keep suffering and people won’t find more opportunities

Doc, I appreciate your content, The daily cyber threat briefing, the actionable intel and your discord community. However, I'm starting to believe that the number of entry level positions is kind of smoke and mirrors. But, the grind will continue. Again, thanks for your support.

[@SimplyCyber]

Its a complex problem. There are more ppl than open entry level jobs. HR doesnt understand the terminology, hiring managers are looking for unicorns instead of trying to solve the priority problems they have. Network network network. its will pay dividends.

[@jcdenton7914]

For real. I feel like my cybersecurity degree is a waste of time where I could learn it faster and more practically on my own. The first year as a kickstart was the only practical value besides having the degree for an HR checkbox

[@KrisiumSoul]

I did an online associate's degree while working on my full time job 12hrs ,4-6 days a week. Most stuff given was a lot of reading books chapters instead of practice something and thats why i feel that way. By experience no matter your degree, a job will train you their way, at their pace and on their own system which can be different from what we study or learn.

I appreciate the information that is provided in the video as a whole. However, as someone who has a SEC+ cert, has a professional cert through ASU and is working on Google's SEC cert, I have been applying for 6 months with no interviews or even calls... so it's a little irritating to hear the "where to find the jobs" section to quite literally just be "Have you tried a job board?? Use the search bar! Use the filters! You will find one!!!". Like no shit... You might as well have just said "Google it, you bunch of cockwaffles!!". Idk maybe it's just me or my frustration as a whole for the industry right now but I was kind of hoping for something more specific...

[@SimplyCyber]

Constructive feedback. If you’re not getting call backs it maybe your resume. I’m sure you’ve got value to offer but no call backs in 6 months typically indicates resumes challenges. I hear you in the frustration, I empathize

It’s true it’s nuanced. There is a lot of need. Sadly business ask for unicorns right now when they really only need horses. The pay doesn’t map well for the asks. Businesses are getting better but still see cyber as a cost center and think it’s just IT. We have a lot of work to continue educating. If a biz suffers a breach that’s when they painfully understand what cyber is and why they need it and then they hire everyone.

Been trying for 4 months trying to get a job in the Cybersecurity space. Have a Bachelor's degree, Took a cybersecurity bootcamp, got my Sec+, have a portfolio of my projects. I see these entry level posts, however, I can't even get an interview. Any tips on getting passed the AI that are disqualifying my applications before I even get a conversation with anyone? It seems a lot of companies do not understand what "entry level" is... Or maybe I am doing something wrong. Any extra tips? It is extremely discouraging seeing how there are "millions of jobs available" but I can't even get an email back or a phone call. Also searching on Indeed and LinkedIn. Business groups, etc.

[@SimplyCyber]

if you're not getting call backs or interviews its likely your resume that is an issue. You've done great stuff but its not translating well in your resume (likely). I have a video on the channel on how to use ChatGPT to customize your resume for any specific job. I'd suggest watching it and then taking action from it. also remember for any resume bullet look at it from the hiring managers eyes and ask 'so what'. ie. try to have impact statements. for example you said you completed a bootcamp. awesome, but that on a resume doesnt do much. hiriing manager may not have heard of that bootcamp so has no weight on if thats amazing or a mill. Now, adding resume bullets about skills you developed, tools you learned, functions you can perform from that bootcamp is much more impactful. Try to think of your resume as the sticker on the windshield of hte car that is you. Your resume is a marketing tool explaining the value you can bring and the capabiliteis you can bear on the org. Do this and your response quality will see improvement. (I cant guarantee obviosuly, but i have high confidence it will improve)

[@YmaldonadoY123]

how much does the program cost?

[@LuminousWhispers11]

Cyber Security is a mess and a lot of the problems are applied throughout employment in general. Education: Bootcamps advertise to people interested in IT and rack in thousands of dollars, teaching them enough to get an entry-level certification, and then sending them to apply for jobs which usually doesn't end well. Colleges also teach their students topics for thousands of dollars that they can learn online for free or much cheaper. The worst part, it becomes more difficult to attain employment without the help of an education facility. Employers: Setting unrealistic expectations and often practicing elitism, I do notice that people tend to gatekeep and make their positions seem highly complex. Some employers even come up with trivial methods to filter candidates or make hiring decisions. Certification Providers: Creates usually redundant certifications that can go in the thousands of dollars. Even if you go for CompTIA, a certification like the A+ goes in the 400s. Regardless you end up needing to spend money to get a competitive advantage. It also bothers me that even after you got a lot of work and project experience certifications are still required. So, you end up pouring a lot of money into certification providers. Some people even worship certifications rather than viewing them as compliance or job filter bypasses.

Not that that's bad, just curious to know as I know NOTHING about cybersecurity other than I think I want to get into it, and just need to know how.

Hey Greg. One cool thing about cyber is you can generally jump from one role to another. There are massive caveats to that statement but an AMA would be required to answer it. I’ve done grc and then had to be a soc analyst and then had to do osint to support the goals of my infosec office. So there’s a lot of overlaps and switching.

I'm not a U.S. Citizen, I want to know if it's possible to work outside the U.S.(work remotely)?

[@rawman5000]

Yes

[@antbanderas1765]

What should I learn first getting into GRC?

[@SimplyCyber]

Getting familiar with a security framework and how infosec works in a business is a good start. Try CIS 18 Controls, thats a pretty accessible one for getting in.

[@tigkokodevlosangeles5207]

Can entry level wo experience really work remote full time

[@juanzapata7701]

I'm interested in that too..

I'm 54, and have marketing and sales experience. Am I too old?

[@SimplyCyber]

No. Depends on what you want to do In field but cyber sales is lucrative and has opportunities. Rn there is a contraction in market and less money flowing so there may be fewer cyber sales/marketing but not evaporated. If you want to pivot into a security operations role that’s possible also but will need to get familiar with networking/operating systems and may have to take a pay cut as you will have to start at a lower level

When I’m successful, the tax man is going to love me. I hate taxes. Does anyone know of a good accountant’s/accountant? No! This is not a joke, I’m hate taxes with passion. People who want to better themselves should pay lower taxes and not to be penalised.

No... in Florida it's more like 50-60k a year to start.

[@SimplyCyber]

Thanks for the context.

[@sambrown8445]

[@SimplyCyber]

You do, but not necessarily prior paid work experience

No. It’s $60

[@HarleyinGermany]

I have a degree in this worthless career field and, like others noted, there is no bridge to obtaining the skills, and furthermore, no jobs available to gain those skills! I honestly don't care about the money if no one will give you a chance.
