do we just need a website, or do we need a WordPress website? only curious cause it seems a lot of people focus on WordPress for their website builder. maybe cause its easy... but would a custom made site impress or detract? Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!

Every company is different. Keep in mind that you may or may not need a cert for a job. Some companies may ask for experience, a degree, a cert or something else. One key thing that will help you stand out is using the power of LinkedIn and network the hell out of people. Networking plays a big part in getting a job to bypass the ats system.

[@ProTechShow]

Some great tips. I especially like the bit about HomeLabs - they're a great way to take control of your own destiny. Some IT people don't want to touch technology outside of their job and I understand the desire to leave work at work; but it also means their experience is entirely dependent on what their employer chooses to give them. If they are given menial tasks or their employer is the type to keep riding obsolete tech into the ground they end up stuck without marketable skills. A HomeLab doesn’t just give you skills and experience - it demonstrates passion and initiative.

As an industry pro in IT - I found this helpful on a high level. I am not a "job hopper" - I have long tenures at the companies i have worked at. The hurdle I am encountering now is that all of the positions (in my area of North Texas at least) in my preferred pay scale are contract positions, and most not even contract-to-hire. I need a place to retire from at this point - I remember DOS and dip-switches, that's when I got my A+ lol. The resume info was exactly what I needed to see - I haven't changed my format since the mid-90's (Word was still WordPerfect when I created the original). Seeing what the recruiters and HR are looking for and getting some insight into their headspace hit the nail on the head. Thanks Chuck - rock on sir.

[@realeduardoguzman]

A tip: If you are already a programmer / software engineer. You can create a static site (use your preferred front-end technology and compile it to html, css, js) and host it in S3 (or GCP equivalent). It will be much cheaper than hosting a wordpress server, specially if you don't make an update every week.

[@fumanchu4785]

[@johndaarteest]

One of the tricks I have heard is to open a separate document and type keywords that you want to stand out, type these over and over again and then copy and paste these into the header and the footer of your resume multiple times, but use a white font color and shrink it down to the smallest font size for your word document application. That way the computer reads it but human eyes can't.

[@kylemeek4726]

[@michaelamos75]

Thank you for proving what I have been telling my wife for months. I had to take a 5 years break from IT and I have been rebuilding my homelab. I told my wife the Dell T330 server, Dell T5810 workstation, pfsense box, cisco and unifi switches were all for building my online portfolio. Also thank you for the resume help, I have 20 years of experience so I have a hard time getting my resume down to a page or two. Like most people in tech I would work at 1 place like IBM for 7 years. Sure I started as a repair tech and left as head engineer, but during that time I technically had like 30 job titles and working for 3 different companies. I wasn't just a engineer, I wrote software, managed 40 people, taught training classes, did technical writing, etc. I also get confused about how to list who I worked for. Like I had a IT job running 2 datacenters for a major drug company, but I worked for a company that worked for HP that did the IT for the company. At the same time company I directly worked for would loan me out to other companies for a migration project or datacenter inventory, etc.

[@michaelamos75]

Also, how important are certs? In the last 20 years I have never had do any prove myself to a company. I met so many people at IBM in Memphis that I was always headhunted or my reputation spoke for itself. I moved to the Tampa area and no one knows me and I only ever got my A+ back in the time when the tests were on DOS and Windows 3.1. I was working on my MSCE but work got in the way. While I love my current job, my skills are going to waste because the higher ups don't think my skills translate.

I have researched this topic so many times all throughout the internet and there is so many conflicting reports, and so many different things people have done or tell others not to do. Just do whatever it takes, control your own destiny as cliché that may sound. Basically try anything if you can do so, you don't really know what path will lead you to success. There is no right or wrong answer.

At first I had no clue about almost all the stuff you talk about in your videos even existed but after stumbling across one of your videos (2 DAYS AGO) after surfing the internet for YEARS, I have been OBSESSED and hooked on watching your videos along with trying some basic stuff out but it's hard to do with an old computer running windows 7 that can't keep an internet connection 😂😅

[@thedelusi0n1337]

There's a MAJOR issue though, speaking to "Entry" level Cyber Sec roles. Go on Linkedin and look for basic to intermediate positions for something info sec related. The issue? In 30 minutes, some companies have 40+ applicants. 3 - 12 hours later? Talk about hundreds of applicants. You can go ahead and tailor your resume and take the time to do so but you'll be the 66th applicant and you have done nothing but waste time. I love everything about this video but this is a huge problem.

[@frog6054]

Is there a solution to this other than praying you're lucky enough

[@TarnishedProductions]

One "solution" to this is to prepare multiple different resumes in advance for multiple different positions, to cover all your bases. If something opens up, you'll be prepared ahead of time and you can send it in right away.

[@joshsmith4998]

Honestly, being introverted in a market full of extroverts makes it so much harder because we have our own great story to tell, but aren't always the best at explaining especially in an interview process where you're often put on the spot and expected to perform to the same level as perhaps other extroverted people. I think that's where having a homelab or some quantifiable example that can demonstrate you have the chops to perform given the right environment is really helpful. Or having a couple of good professional references that can vouch for the things you've done.

[@comic-typ5919]

Well said

You pointed it out right. I can relate to this situation. Extroverts relate very well to people while introverts are very related to tasks. In my experience is that i see more work being accomplished by introverts compared to extroverts in general. Not always but many times it does.

I could spend all my time trying to get into those but Linux is what REALLY sold me into getting into Big Tech.

Even more important than bragging is honesty and represent yourself as you will be at the job, No one will have a good time at their job if during the job interview you come overdressed and later come in casual. Same goes for the attitude and other ways everyone represents them selves be your self grab a coffee or tea, Relax enjoy and don't haste cause that always comes back to bite you later on. And ofc the extra's we all can see/learn here will be able to give a boost to represent as more likely hireable.

[@CHICADRAGONFITNESSNTECH]

Thank you Sir. You change my mind about resume. Thank you for the advice. I go to Per Scholas-apprenticeship in NJ. Love the website domain & home labs. I had a mock interview with UBS. I put in home labs -they loved it.

Hello from Montreal, Canada! thank you for this amazing video. Really inspiring. Can't wait to make my resume grow.

[@noontide1209]

This is straight up SAUCE man. thank you so much for making this video! I'm going from a field tech position and trying to get a network admin position or something similar.

[@HunzaTech]

The quality of your content is above and beyond! Thank you!!!

[@actng]

chuck this is awesome for all your subscribers old and young

[@AyeHarold]

I actually didn't noticed consciously that it was a 40-min. vlog. Another great content once again!

[@thatguyidk123]

Ive been searching for years how to get into an IT job and I enjoy watching video between you David B, Alissa K, Kody from Hak5 John H and Marcus H and have not been able to find my holy grail. BUT THIS VIDEO I am hoping will turn my 15 year hobby into a career. thanks for this particular video.

[@majin2909]

Idk if this video will be helpful, just another topic covered to make a sponsorship to hostinger, not sure if it's sure a quality content over the promotion

[@upperlevelentertainment]

Your the BEST BRO!! Keep up the good work. Very informational videos, and entertaining as well. I Love it!!!

[@RuxUnderscore]

Finally pushed me to build my website. Been sitting on my own domain for a few months that I created for my homelabbing, and now I just need to tie a website to it.

[@Larimuss]

The best people for any IT are definitely the passionate nerds who love IT, i feel like i cloud takel anything. It's hard to communicate that and sound genuinely, though. 😢

[@jeremydlcv]

Amazing Video Chuck! I just started creating my website and applying for jobs after this. Thank you very much and keep that good work going. Greetings from Germany

[@thegreenengineer7994]

this is only applicable for US companies.. in germany this is completle differnet ( i am currently hiring 17 positions). - everything must be on your resume and especially the CV nothing extra, only likedIn will be checked everything else might be nice further down the road but for the first steps no one will check this in germany

[@Gameviciado416]

Some great tips. This sure gave me motivation. Loved the energy. Keep up the good work.

[@Lilrockerdude13]

Found you from the Certs vid back in the Spring. Since then we have been watching you like crazy Chuck. Co-workers and I are in the perfect spot for this video and I'm freakin stubborn AF when it comes to asking for help. I have been stuck in this simple High School resume that I am surprised it has gotten me this far. Certing up, getting some Azure and/or AWS (want more but work uses Azure) and going for my goal of Security Engineer. Once I'm there who knows where the next foot will go but that is the GOAL right now! Service Desk now Engineer in 5 years?

[@SpoiledYogurt]

I've loved every video I've watched since I found you, this one was definitely uncanny on the timing. Just accepted a job offer last week as a System Admin after a couple years of collecting certs and working as a Tech 2 but will def keep this vid in the back pocket for later!

[@vladalberthagiu6933]

I just finished my website and it look awesome! I'm learning so much thanks to you. I think I messed up though. I used your template and when I hit the "Who am I" button it gives me a error 404. How do I fix this?

[@brosedominik9919]

Funny, I had an interview today for a position as a network admin in a hospital.I only made a lateral move into IT last year, before that I was a bank clerk. The interview went really good!

[@DemoniqueLewis]

Great advice in general. As a hiring manager, I probably wouldn’t go to a personal website but I do check the linked in pages. I know some of my supervisors and team leads would check git or other project information for technical positions such as incident response or Splunk engineer. I recommend following the resume pattern even when switching vocations.

[@JC-Alan]

As a hiring manager, you wouldn't check the website with a domain that is registered under the full name of the person applying? No offense, but maybe you shouldn't be recruiting for IT positions :)

[@andrejones7247]

Thanks! Chuck you are a great Inspiration . You Will have many blessings to fuel your passion. I’m Looking forward to Your Success!

[@bc4198]

This is excellent, thank you! Much more robust than most career tip videos.

[@darrankidwell1742]

This gives me hope. I work in the oil field and it's not exactly tech related. I'll finish the Google IT Support Professional Cert this week. Then I'll start studying for the CCNA. I had no idea how important home labs are. This will definitely help build confidence in my resume by adding home labs and a website. I've never seen a resume put together like that. Thanks for the info!

[@RJ-is9ko]

How do you have time to study if you work in oil fields?

[@arsenalism9047]

I made around 2 mistakes on my resume. Current On-going Courses at the side on the 3rd title and Projects that I did 5 years ago which is under my education and my experience is above my education. Funny Enough, It was my first resume that I made. I have 2 resume in all. The first actual resume was done by a friend who never got accepted for intership at any company. He is currently a 3rd year uni student with no work experiences. Somehow a company which controls most imports and exports of IT stuff actually contacted me for an interview. I did make 1 mistake in the interview. I explained everything in dis-order. The thing they said is that based on everything I said and about the Interview and Resume, I like to learn new things and try to nimble in everything and is very curious and I answered, Yes. I love IT. They said alright, If in all interviews, yours is one of the best, You will be called to sign the papers. Gave the General Manager and IT manager good firm handshakes. Not stronger than theirs (just to not show dominance; someone told me to do that and that person is a Network Engineer for a Big firm). So Yeah, Hope I get accepted.

[@ReactsandMore]

incredible video Network Chuck, I can't get into a cyber security job to save my life. Thank you!
