Cyber Security Skills Employers Want

[@waynezahra9213]

The biggest issue in all jobs (not just Cyber Security), is experience. People are more than qualified to do the job but they lack the experience. How are people suppose to do the job if nobody is giving them the chance to? I think in workplaces there should be a balance with employers attitudes towards employees who want to the job and someone coming into work just for the pay.

[@steve00alt70]

Well companies need to expect new employees have to become familiar to the companies technology. They cant expect to wave a magic wand and have you become an expert overnight.

[@TheJacob2030]

Do you need maths & programming to pursue cybersecurity? and how much difference is cybersecurity to Data analyst?

[@dusitthehto1946]

I just want to be a cybersecurity experts

[@IkePhillipRuffin]

In reference to your house analogy, it takes a really long time to become a master craftsman. How does one learn this? It's through practice and repetition to encounter different issues, but how does one acquire that knowledge? By being mentored and trained by someone who has those skills, and how did the mentor learn those skills? By being mentored by someone who also taught them. This is where companies get it wrong, being that when everyone is being trained and mentored, it makes for a more skilled labor pool. It also has the ability to lead to higher employee retention rates. People are loyal to companies that invest in them. Education is only the keys to the car, the experience is the fuel to make the car be able to go the distance that you need to go.

More like a fireman, except you start the fires and then you have to put them out. Live and learn lol. At most enterprises, at least those growing at rapid rates you will not have time to ne mentored.

No, you don't expect to teach the builder how to build the house....but you do expect to have input on the design and style of the house, the color of the paint and flooring, etc. You cant just tell a builder to build a house and expect it to be exactly what you had in mind without expressing that to them.

[@kapoof2]

Cyber Security is not quite comparable to building a house, because moving from company to company is comparable to moving from country to country, different building codes, laws, regulations, market standards, etc. If you import someone from Haiti to build a house in Los Angeles, they simply are going to need training, no matter how skilled they are.

[@truthlover4585]

ALL of your posts are awesomely done!! Full of information. Not a waste of time. Talking AND saying exactly what we need to hear! New Sub!

[@stevenpierre-paul1144]

This is great I'm an InfoSec newbie who just graduated and and have some internship experience in the field. I have been trying to figure out what steps to take and get the entry level position in this field. So much to choose. Would you know which orgs are known for taking on entry level candidates and help them grow?

[@crod6431]

There are some companies that only want to pay lower salaries and expect you to learn on the job on your own without any training. SHI in Somerset, NJ hires employees at a lower salary and expects them to learn on their own. On top of that, they expect employees to work overtime without any compensation. Stay away from SHI.

I know a lot of people even dont know what is operation system but they got cyber security job easly but I can not get even I have bachelor degree and certs

[@Sunimation]

6:16 how can we demonstrate those soft skills, and also how to improve them ?

[@alexman340]

I found toastmaster clubs

[@cybersathi4246]

What kind of certification we need for cyber security job for a beginner?

[@cybersathi4246]

And I have also interest in learning hacking so, is it right path for me?

[@steve00alt70]

Same i have autism

[@MrLeokenox]

Thanks for the explanation! What do you thing about the Advanced Certificate "Forensic Investigation - Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity Option" from BCIT Vancouver? What codes are the best to learn before take the course?

[@junzhaoliu5951]

I am currently majoring in MIS, will this degree open the information security analyst door for me?

[@gwhite8732]

Yes, it will.

[@rothscliff6086]

just a quick question, as an university student, refer to what you quoted on your video "Employers want you have the skill sets ready for the job", and i am getting curious about what are the benefits for employers to hire interns? since interns normally coming for work experience and they usually don't have all the skills that required.

[@alexman340]

do you know how can learn manual code review

[@davestevens4193]

I think it's unrealistic to try to get a cybersecurity job as your first it job

[@maymayy1208]

Still have a question. What is cyber security, what do u need to learn. I'm on like L.1 I just know it's about stopping hackers, Vpn, Internet safety.....

[@gp_sec]

hello mate, i guess you have 1 year of experience in this field. can you tell me what its like ? since no one answered your answer, now its time you should for yourself.... thankyou

[@Techtips200]

The interviewers first drill for Technical skills and later on in the manager round they looks for the soft skills.

[@riq22]

Great Video! I am IT professional who has been in the system engineering and network engineering space for a while. I am looking to move over to cyber security as a focus and I am currently in school majoring in cybersecurity and assurance. What advice would you offer on making this transition. I have some security knowledge as it relates to my job every day but as I'm am learning in school there is a different spin on the cyber security side of the fence. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@ConceeitedTV]

So did you just stop making videos? Where is the section or video for how to interview?

[@huriabdul1]

Hello, I am interested in working in this field. I have no experience and I do not have BA in a computer science background. Where should I begin? I want to get some certifications. Thank you.

[@akfanfortyseven8375]

Check out edx and udemy.com. They have many online courses you can take in ethical hacking and cyber security.

[@mikeavila6921]

Find you a help desk job. Start from the bottom. I started as a apple care advisor, then help desk. After a few years I now work as a IT security analyst a local bank. You can do it

[@coldmayorelish6466]

huria abdulhadi take some courses and get certified with Security+ and you should be good

[@ernesto5930]

@@mikeavila6921 how did you do it? i work in helpdesk myself. I live in Augusta, Ga and security clearance is a big deal around here do to the military base.

[@mikeavila6921]

@@ernesto5930 I stay busy. I ask the security admins and sys admins if they need help with anything on my down time. I got lucky that a position opened up. But if it didnt I would have looked somewhere else. I refused to do helpdesk or desktop support for more than 2 years

[@lesterrichardsoniv2456]

Hi, great video btw. I'm just wondering, do I go to college for this? Or just get some certifications?

[@dkbroman]

Lester Richardson IV maybe just a school centered on tech entirely

[@jahazielvazquez7264]

No, college is not going to teach you soft skills. They're super outdated. Best way is to go out everyday and talk to a bunch of people and get shut down a bunch of times. This is going to remove your fears, and then you'll have more skills, and will become braver

[@gabrielperianu4105]

What did you learn by watching this video?

[@cuckNorris]

[@markaj_]

What are those directives that go against your ethical values?

[@aryancool2332]

Sir, now I am looking for a switching job from bpo to cyber security and networking I applied for few jobs but all demanding certifications I don't know what to do

[@vxz90044]

But unfortunately just to even get that interview you do need certifications. The HR wall is real

[@lesterrichardsoniv2456]

Hi, gret video btw. I'm just wondering, do I go to college for this? Or just get some certifications?

[@stephenkaruku8384]

don't waste time going to college.Just school yourself and probably get some certifications.You'll be good to go

[@SHx589]

ITIL CompTIA A+ Network + Security + That will get you entry level at $55k/yr (avg) as a Computer User Support Specialist

[@cu806]

That's accurate from by experience. Would like to be at 70 in 2 more years

[@makaiokalahama]

Wow, garbage pay for getting a degree & all those certs.

[@Churchgal]

Thanks so much, just the information I was looking for.

[@joeparrinello4359]

Can someone break into the industry with a BS in Finance with a Tech School Cyber Security certificate? Wasn't sure if the degree not being IT would hurt my chances.

[@charlesmagno28]

I'm working as a helpdesk remote support for a few years now,I'm interested in Cybersecurity and Network Operations, I want to have a work anywhere/home kind of lifestyle but wants to upgrade my skills. (and pay). What certification or courses do you recommend? If you currrently have this job (you reading it) hope to get some advise. Thank you!
