[@KeyaMeishawn]

The beginning of her story sounds like mine. I scored high on the ASVAB and secured an Intelligence job and TS/SCI at 17. Cannon AFB, New Mexico was my first duty station & I was there for 5 years, most of my enlistment lol. I was actually there when she was there!! I purchased my first house there at 21 too lol. Now I'm 25, working in the DMV area as an intel analyst, making the GovTech transition. Youre both a huge inspiration! Thank you for this, Symoné! Thank you, Huralain! Maybe ill be featured in one of these sit-downs one day lol

[@verympressiv]

For clearances, I always recommend folks applying to physical security jobs with gov contractors. Thats how I got my TS a few years back.

[@Richard-i6m4m]

People be sleeping on security

[@Playerz714]

Even for jobs in tech? Or do you apply to those before transition to it

[@verympressiv]

@@Playerz714 correct, the security job is what gets you your clearance. You study for certs/ upskill while you’re waiting for your clearance to process. For any company that contracts with the federal government, the clearance can get your foot in the door in tech. This is exactly what I did.

[@lynm9903]

When you say physical are you talking about like TSA?

[@verympressiv]

@@lynm9903 Allied universal, Amentum, Intercon.. I have seen all of these security companies sponsor clearances at some point

[@EugeneCelistan]

been on a "beez" binge for the past couple weeks love your vlogs!

[@Lookatjojo]

I really have been on a beez binge. She is about to change my life and she doesn’t even know it. And I’m ready!!

[@MrAlangferguson]

One day these convos about the day to day wont sound like a different language. Then ill know i made some progress

[@kimberly5928]

lol…I had to slow down the playback speed…she talks really fast…really technical lingo…great interview though!👏🏼

[@tdne2508]

Love these interviews. They’ve been really helping me determine how I want to navigate my tech career. Very encouraging ,insightful , and informational

[@bbygurlrav]

Hitting me with gems left and right only 15 minutes in! Beez the goat fr🐐🔥 I LOVE the dream resume idea!! Huralain's advice was so resourceful.

[@jakiee]

Make your dream resume and work up to it. That’s great advice!

[@HopePryor]

This was a great interview! Huralain dropped so many tips and nuggets! Thank you!

[@tdne2508]

She is soo beautiful and intelligent ❤

[@silverb_ceo]

Extremely!

[@facelessbuildr]

Huralain is so fine!!! omg what a beautiful mind!!! $650k sheesh

[@YannaForest]

I’m about to dive into cyber security, this helped a bunch , and I’m about to lock in and study everything you ladies discussed

[@harrystaley3289]

GovTech is definitely NOT layoff proof. Contracts get defunded all of the time.

[@OS24021]

Most contracts do not. Remember these are legal documents and laws from states & federal are geared towards the consultants/contractors being paid on time. If a contract gets political, the agency may enter litigation to pay the contractor/firm a settlement to dissolve the contract.

[@harrystaley3289]

@@OS24021 You are absolutely wrong. It just happened to me working for a defense contractor. Working in acquisitions in prior life it definitely does happen contracts end, options years don't get funded, incumbents don't get past the re-compete, you are definitely not recession or issue proof. This happens even with higher level clearances.

[@kayd.1755]

For contractors not civilians

[@mattofella]

Smart and a straight up baddie….lawd 😅

[@WorkingEveryDay]

Beez is doing a great job for the community!

[@chelsgurl818]

I work for a big 6 consulting firm on the business services side and we’re told we can expense any and everything for people working on gov projects. Those fed contracts are in the millions.

[@DakariAntoine]

You really don't miss! Day In My Tech Life my favorite series right now. Huralain is incredibly intelligent, another great episode 🔥

[@LEKIPE1]

Guest is fine asl. My type of BW fr

[@munchpunch2981]

See i ain’t wanna say it but pure facts 😂😂

[@LEKIPE1]

love them Eastern Africans@@munchpunch2981

[@tinamathews7139]

Great interview! I like how she utilized the military to get training and experience to help jump start her tech career. A young person can do 3-4 years and pivot to the next level.

[@copiouscat]

Same here! My last Navy day is the 28 and I’m working with Salesforce soon! 5 years flew by, that Vet preference and clearance helped SIGNIFICANTLY.

[@DRKSKNJJ]

💪🏿25U tryna get into cybersecurity, starting first tech job as an IT field service technician. These interviews are motivating.

[@rhythmcity2006]

Huntsville native checking in, people are flooding here now.

[@user-Hm-pt]

Watching from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 thank you a lot.

[@wanchawancha5323]

Love seeing my sistahs doing their thing ❤… my brother is in tech and has a beautiful life and family. I’m retired (law) and exploring different fields as a second gig. Love this.

[@Haydnreigns]

I knew she was either Somalian or Ethiopian as soon as I saw her face lol. Anyways this was a great interview, she dropped a lot of information (the specific technical skills and pathways were great).

[@justinwilson1357]

Bless you for making this . I’m a vet and my clearance expired . I actually gave up on dod jobs because of this . I didn’t know this was possible .

[@RessurrectionGraves]

These videos are so inspiring. I’m not even into tech and it makes me want to learn it. 😂 TY for sharing so much. My hubby is interested in Tech.

[@gregory22193]

Facts!! No micro management and easy schedule is a plus. Great Interview!!

[@shoone7381]

sec+ then splunk I’m looking at

[@kimberly5928]

Me too!👏🏼

[@aflores31]

Huralain is so on it. She shared soooo much helpful info.

[@darriusrubin5991]

One of the best interviews Beez!! This is very actionable advice to any beginner looking to hit the ground running and get their foot in the door into cybersecurity. Im currently in Help Desk at the moment been at this MSP for 8-9 months now looking to break into cyber in the next year or so. Looking to grab the CCNA + AZ-900/104 then security plus to solidify everything from a security baseline. Thanks for all of the knowledge that you share on the TL and on KZbin!! Also thanks to Huralain on sharing her story to inspire other minorites like me to get in the field.

[@tylerewing8163]

Damn she a 10!

[@Nique-nk7sz]

Great interview loved her energy. Definitely loved all the good information she gave to in reference to starting her own company.

[@454lin]

This is the best interview. She really laid it out !!!

[@shoone7381]

This is packed with career nuggets🔥🔥

[@JackSpaulding1984]

1st Thank you and I am happy your mental health is better B! 2nd thank you for this jewel of a video.

[@user-ei9oc3js5l]

She is gorgeous

[@vivahernando1]

Beauty and brains. Stunning

[@cw3482]

Real game within the 1st 10 minutes. I have been at many of these companies myself to include Vectrus/ITT/Exelis depending on how old you are. There are many American contractors living in various countries over the years making money and gaining valuable experience.

[@tinamathews7139]

Definitely, I used to work for DynCorp in Afghanistan

[@tam6011]

Usually 2.5 times to 3 times. If you make 200/hr then contractor is charging 200x2.5 = 500 to government

[@victoriamonet1117]

I see that you have your blueprint guide posted. But will you go back and do the class for those who are ready to get a job? You did a class for $100 that went over those specific things. When are you going to do that again? Or are you just going to do the more expensive programs moving forward?

[@Sirbiznis]

I met Huralain this weekend at techsgiving and she was so insightful with cyber security and helping. S/o to her and Kajhon 🙏

[@Gxnnelle]

She’s been MIA for a while but I’m glad she’s back! Huralain is such an intelligent woman!!!

[@Thejaslane91]

Excited for this episode, I recently followed her on tiktok dropping tech gems!

[@TheSoulCrisis]

Great episode…..both of you are awesome and wholesome! So many great GovTech insights and tips for viewers! 😊

[@JhnyBravos]

Bro shes beautiful

[@joelsanderson2021]

[@browngal00]

If you see this could you please interview a vulnerability scanner? Or if you've done that do a video on it.

[@zidika]

i am in Ghana with a background in digital forensics and cyber security, I am interested in immigrating to the USA

[@kobib7806]

Now this interview is very insightful! A lot of jewels were dropped in this one keep it going!

[@tisheemmoore]

Thank you Beez! dope interview, very informative and inspirational. Go LADIES, killing the game and blessing others along the way!!🔥🔥

[@keyzthefairyyy]

I am a Navy vet currently in Killeen finishing my senior year for my bachelor’s in IT. What advice do you have for a veteran wanting to be in network security or cybersecurity in general?

[@billyhollywood2278]

Could you start listing the people you interview information below? it'd help a lot!

[@antonioroberts8889]

I love every video you upload definitely helping me a lot!

[@rashondaschaeffer529]

Wow big coincidence I’m active duty navy stationed in Guam and I go to WGU lol shout out to her and WGU getting my B.S in Cyber there

[@kiho847]

😢😢😢I'm willing to leave Canada and come to USA Arizona maybe not new mexico but I'm willing to try

[@Tiggergrad05]

I live in NM and don’t want to be here, but this job is keeping me here now! But it is a decent place to raise your children.

[@jamescharles1316]

She is gorgeous!

[@abiodundami]

They sound like they be partying hard back in the day lol... Cool peeps

[@lourianneapollon5282]

Thank you. This is so amazing. Does Huralain do KZbin? I want to learn more from her skills wise.

[@officialthreez]

This episode was very inspiring im definitely ready for the grind to start my Gov Tech journey!

[@mchronicle]

Loved this amazing interview. Very inspiring.

[@jacquelinewade9236]

I love this interview. She is in there getting the job done.

[@JudeDude409]

I agree with her on the military! The military will sometimes fund your security clearance and because a lot of companies outside wouldn’t want to put in the money to pay for your clearance and that makes your job searching opportunities a lot easier in the civilian sector.

[@Ricocase]

Can you sell products to the government? Time 4 $ has its limit. Dc = 2 cost of living.

[@lis880]

I went to AIT at Gordon with Huralain. Happy to see her doing well!

[@TechLegalista]

Thank you for sharing!

[@ItsNerradT]

Sheesh! Huralain's smart, paid, and up on game 💯. Keep up with the videos, Symoné

[@SamariaLynn_]

I want to do this but I don’t think I can survive basic training 😂

[@faithfulhealerpodcast]

Go for it!

[@copiouscat]

Sis it’s really not hard (depending on the branch)

[@WhoisHomer10]

I love this series! I'm not sure if I can qualify for a government contract though

[@itsaudreanna]

The interviews just keep getting better and better!!

[@techwithnicole]

So many Gems dropped! So inspiring!!!!

[@SS-hz4jo]

Houston? Party city? I thought of it as a working town.

[@jastation321]

Mnay people get one in the military. When they get out of military, would they put their clearance on the resume?

[@rashondaschaeffer529]

Yes you can I’m navy I have my secret clearance it’s on my resume

[@almightygg2369]

Yes I have been waiting for this interview. She is a person I look up too!

[@rodneyhen3498]

[@jeffu3248]

This was dope and thank you! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@AfricanOleander]

Does Huralain offer mentorships? She is so intelligent. I’m so inspired by Beez! The right questions are being asked. I work in as an Administrative Accountant right now, because I want to pivot into tech. I just signed up for your course on Instagram and you are killing this!

[@jakeshiapeterson2920]

This is so inspiring. I also went into the military as a 25U at 18 years old and got my Bachelors in Biology Pre-Med. I just finished up my Masters in Public Health Informatics which has introduced me to a little coding using Python and R. I am now looking into going the cybersecurity route, maybe in health care. Do you have any advice on how I can get started? I just got accepted into a cybersecurity certificate program at North Carolina A&T but I am seeing so many people go Cyber without going back to school. Anything input helps and thank you for all of your content!

[@WAKYZACKful]

This was my problem, I got the trifecta through a workforce program and went right into Help Desk, I only had my A+ when I got hired but got my Net+ and Sec+ while working help desk

[@Taluckett]

Very inspiring

[@jovonnebarclay5500]

My thing is I am 44 and I am just starting cybersecurity!! I am in school for cybersecurity, I hope I am not too old to start!! I still feel young and have the drive and desire to start in this industry

[@TheMscobb12]

I'm 45 and I'm about to start I my journey in tech, hope I'm not to old as well

[@EthiopianLove1301]

Hello guys, I just finished my cybersecurity BSA and I am currently studying for the security+ and am not sure how to get a job can you guys give me advice

[@Techtapp_]

Hold on I worked nights as a soc analyst on my contract and my pay didnt change either💀💀

[@symonebeez]

LOL I hate when that happens

[@Playerz714]

Awesome Video

[@kseniaksu4007]

What is Huralain's education? Her linkedin lists NONE. Is it all self-learning?

[@frozenpride8713]

Always advocate for yourself! That's the main thing, these companies will try you.

[@tanyakilpatrick9204]

Amazing interview! Congratulations on ypur success...both of you!!

[@lifewithnicole8745]

Every episode gets better and better. Appreciate it ❤️

[@gakuseiprofesor4239]

What's wrong with Huntsville? You're the second person who I heard say that?

[@jen01743]

The gems dropped in this video omg!!

[@tanyakilpatrick9204]

" as soon as I feel like they don't value me I'm out" PREACH!!!!

[@Dondada1906]

Thank you very inspiring

[@b3nx0]

Whoaaa they dropped some serious Gems in this video!! Much appreciated! 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

[@YourUncle_G]

If you are submitted to a clearance by a potential employer and do not pass, are you able to reapply in the future or are you marked as not eligible for clearance?

[@jarevalo91]

Where in Patuxent River Md though? Is it a certain agency?

[@shannelartis8014]

I throughly enjoyed this interview! She’s the truth!

[@victoriamonet1117]

I see that you have your blueprint guide posted. But will you go back and do the class for those who are ready to get a job? You did a class for $100 that went over those specific things. When are you going to do that again? Or are you just going to do the more expensive programs moving forward?
