How I Got a Cyber Security Job With No Experience in 2024

[@Ducky195]

At the end of the day guys, still got to pay the bills. Waiting around for an opportunity isn’t going to work. If you can’t get a cyber job right away try an entry level IT job. That will help with work experience for your resume.

[@TheRealTopTV]

I was just sayin this

[@norsethehorse8179]

I’m starting CompTIA A+ is this a waste of time? I realize something is better than nothing but just want too be efficient at learning this.

[@Arabassassin13]

See that is the problem, why do colleges and boot camps teach cybersecurity if at the end of the certificate and the degree we got to work a 15 dollar entry level IT Job or somehow get lucky with the big leagues like Google when it comes to that for 1-2 years before cybersecurity

[@Greencheez-y]

@@norsethehorse8179 A+ is definitely not a waste of time, it'll definitely give you a leg up as far as how likely recruiters will choose to interview/hire you -- and learning those fundamentals is a really good start. Unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily guarantee you a job.

[@jankyjoe_]

@@norsethehorse8179 This is three weeks late but I've personally heard most people skip the A+ and immediately go for Sec+, Network+, or CCNA depending on what they wanted to do. It certainly doesn't hurt to have A+ cert, but they are better options immediately available to you.

Many hackers are underage with no degrees but are able to hack their way through these billion dollar companies. Shouldn't that say a lot?

[@ultravioletiris6241]

Who cares? They don’t buy cyber career products from ISC2 lol /s

[@cyberathletics719]

There’s so many resources out there for them to do so. Also these overseas hackers are being trained by nation state groups which allow them to grow. Also a lot of attackers use other hackers tools

[@JC-od3tg]

Yeah unfortunately they would hire unskilled/less skilled person with a degree over someone with no degree that's more skilled than the intermediate employees in the company.

[@VinnyLogz]

Many? You mean the 1% of the 1%.

[@SoSolace1]

Many of these kids live and breath hacking because they found it fascinating at a young age. Compare that to regular people that just look at the numbers and think they'll get a lot of money once they get a Sec+ certification. But with the kids living and breathing it the curiosity aspect takes over all these rules, regulations and so forth mean nothing. Most of the young people hacking these huge companies aren't doing it because of money (Yes they gain money, not the goal), but love the thrill of breaking an empire.

@@kovosGR Who would you recommend then? Or whats your better advice?

[@kovosGR]

@@terdferguson4945 I don't recommend anyone who says cybersecurity is entry level or some cyber roles are entry level. My genuine advice is for people to actually build up their foundation/skill set before entering the cybersecurity side of IT. I'm basically telling you common sense - how are you in a Cybersecurity role (even the lowest point like SOC Analyst) and you've never imaged and then deployed 100+ desktops across multiple buildings and then documented where these assets are on an asset database? I'm talking about real hands on experience - real hands on mistakes - real hands on capabilities. Real world. Not this college shit or CompTIA shit. Don't get me wrong, Security+ is nice to have but its meaningless without even a few years of IT Support under your belt. Real experience trumps your college degree every time.

[@0xC47P1C3]

Searching for a job sucks. There’s so much chaff that it’s difficult to find something valuable. Best thing that worked for me was researching the company you’re applying to instead of blindly applying to everything you see. Also going a little bit further by making a boilerplate cover letter than tailoring it to the company I am applying to. This really sets you apart from the lazy applicants and helps you beat the algorithm

I’ve been in CS for 8 years.I was laid off in 2023 and the market is the worst I’ve ever seen. It feels crazy saturated, but even experienced professionals are having to look for entry level roles because it’s an employers market right now and the lay offs. 1000 apps is about what I had submitted as well. I love your advice regarding knowing the roles you are interested in and why. I mentor and have to do hiring interviews, the biggest thing I see is people come in thinking “oh I want to be a hacker”. Regardless of who you are passion and a willingness to learn will go a long way. Talk to those who are where you want to be. Network. Do things in your free time that build upon your skill set- I.e: build a home lab. Keep going. This market SUCKS but all it takes is one yes. Let’s get it. #levelup

I just graduated from a UK university with a degree in cyber securiy and i live in a 3rd world country . Which might give you an idea how fucked the job market is rn in the country . I did an internship as a SOC analyst for 6 months and i didnt continue to work there because i needed time for my final exams and all. Now im in an akward position where i cant get a job at all in any position intern or L1 i tried applying for foreign companies they all ask for visas or i have to be in the country where the job is But they arent willing to give visas(idk why they have to be like that). Anyway i might abandon my hopes and go for a job in some other area at this point, because financially im fucked and the job market isnt getting any better for us 3rd world country people .but your video gave a little hope , i might give it another shot . Thanks

Apply to 1000+ is good but making sure your resume has key words for the position is the most important
