[@wyattlewis7428]

Josh thank you for the awesome video! I started my first IT job this year after three years working as a math teacher and it’s been such an amazing transition. Your videos helped so much especially in the job application process, you speaking about doing home labs and how to make yourself stand out helped land me in the role I’m in. I think the podcast tip is super impactful, it made for conversation when speaking with employers very helpful since it showed I was staying up to date with current trends. Can’t thank you enough for all the content and am definitely gonna look into going down the Google Security route soon. Oh and CYBER10 !

[@1-of-1]

CYBER10 I really appreciate your hard work and dedication. I agree that getting a google certificate would be a great add to your resume. Thanks so much.

[@cyranoburleson4240]

CYBER10 I like your channel I've always worked in IT, but always for and employer. One thing that has always been a burden is not being able or allowed to help people on the side, even for free. I've missed out on a lot of chances to learn in the moment and to get to aspect of interacting with other people when solving problems. This year I've decided to start working for myself and want to get to know people in IT and not just the problem solving from a technical perspective, but also the how did you get here and how can we prevent this from happening again. I've recently been talking to small business owners and there is still a lot they don't know about IT.

CYBER10 😊 I agree what Josh said. Let me add this, "Targeting the smaller jobs will prepare you for higher roles in Cybersecurity. Even with the certificates, you may find it difficult to break into cybersecurity unless you target the entry-level roles"

[@JoshMadakor]

Well said! (this was an auto-response provided by KZbin, but I was going to type it lol)

[@fightingfalconfan]

I am looking to be a network admin/engineer, not so much cyber security. I am doing self study and I put that on my Resume but as of yet no one will even look at me for a basic help desk job...working on transitioning from a automotive technician role in a repair shop to being in IT.

[@mofogie]

What entry level roles? They don't exist. Been applying for 5 years. Got a ccna, security+, cysa+, third attempt OSCP, azure 900, azure 104, electrical engineering degree from top uni. No responses. Tried applying for SOC, infosec, netsec, pentesting entry level. Im going to cloud DevOps., and hack on the side. Im totally done with the BS. Its clear the cybersecurity industry doesn't know what it's doing, especially when a GRC role gets paid double a pentester.

I’m enrolled in the google cybersecurity course right now and it is really good for someone who didn’t know anything about IT or cybersecurity I wouldn’t say it’s good for the comptia security+ it’s more hands on and preparing you for what you would be doing on the job. I’m currently on the 7th section of the course there is only 8 so by next week I should be done and have my google cert. I started on august 10th with minimal breaks I had to take couple weeks off for work, but if really put time in should take Atleast 1-2 months max.

[@blackdonte24]

It is good for the Security+. Either you're rushing through the course, half-ass studying the material, or you're just full of shit.

[@khulekani_ndlovu]

While the Google course may be great as per your recommendation, I think the concern is the HR Gatekeeping that tends to require more "well known" certs such as Security+ as well as the fact that there is no proctored exams in the coursera courses.

So glad I found your site. I have been doing this for 15 plus years but have started looking again and things have changed, I have not looked for a security job in 7 years, so I need this as a touch-up

[@hawkindy]

Hey Josh, It's great to see you back with new videos! I had my A+ certification beforehand and subsequently purchased your career course. Even though I landed a help desk job before taking the final exam (thanks in part to the course), everything you mentioned came to pass. In my interview, I discussed the labs we covered, and I even managed to negotiate my salary! I'm contemplating diving into your cybersecurity course, but I'm considering first obtaining the CompTIA trifecta to ensure it's the path I want to take. This brings me to my question: Have you ever thought about offering certification courses, like Security+ or AZ-104, AZ-500? Sort of like Mosh does with his courses or Zero to Mastery.

[@JoshMadakor]

Really love to hear it and see it! Congrats on the job, and I'm glad you were able to flex your portfolio and negotiate salary, haha. I haven't really thought about making full-blow COURSES for certification, but I do make free practice question decks with (usually) over 1k questions. In case you haven't seen them, here are some: CISSP: joshmadakor.tech/cissp Security+: joshmadakor.tech/security-plus

[@Ib90]

So I have no certs at all if I do Google cyber security cert can I at least land a helpdesk job, I'm unemployed and need income before I can pay for other certs.. or just buy CompTIA A plus to get my foot in the door.

[@iT3K]

@@Ib90Speaking as someone who has the CompTia trifecta, you would need a decent amount of time to pass A+ even with some prior experience. (I took around 30 days per exam with around 6-8 hrs per week studying)

[@cjmurray7959]

Great video man , I’m currently learning networking basics, Linux, sql and python for dummies along with going through the security+ before taking the course just so I can have knowledge already and save money on the monthly fee then actually taking the security+ as well so I can get the discount since I’m not exactly rushing it and want to soak up the knowledge.

[@charleslundy7545]

The more I research the more it seems like the big Tech Companies have a severe labor shortage, but continue to make it difficult for themselves to hire employees. A college degree is slow and out dated. At 40 years old I assure you by and large the programs used now will not be the programs in 5-10 years. They want employees to fit a social structure they do not train and is more or less a random coincidence if they find their "like culture" applying. The training courses to obtain the skills they desire are scattered and not specifically designed with a clear order to take them, specific certifications to obtain, and a clearly defined goal. It's all, like most civilian life, chaos simulating order while maintaining chaos in the larger scope of project. Too many choices can lead to a blurred vision when choosing, and allows the opportunity to choose a path that did not yield the specific skills they wanted to find employees having for a specific position they wish to fill. That is my observation of this situation as I continue watching these vids for research and viewing professional courses online.

I'm seeking international relocation visa sponsored jobs/internships in the U.S., I guess this is impossible.

Good luck with the Sec+! I have a free Sec+ Anki deck with over 1k practice questions in it. You just need to install Anki, which is free: CISSP: joshmadakor.tech/cissp Security+: joshmadakor.tech/security-plus

@@JoshMadakor Thanks! I already made a reminder to download it when I get home. Hope you enjoyed Japan as well

[@gr8wei]

I agree wtih you especially the job experience and how to compensate for it with labs. You're the man! So many people use your siem lab video without giving your credit. Great info as always. Thanks Sir! Cyber10

[@JoshMadakor]

Hahaha, it's OK, as long as they can find a job 😂, Really appreciate your comment!

[@KingChason]

It’s crazy I’m in week 3 already of the course and. I wanted this certification for an entry level position. I already have 2 certifications under my belt.

[@LovingSoul61]

You're a Godsent🙏🏾

[@WickOff626]

I’m almost done with this course. I am currently an intelligence analyst in the us army. I plan on finishing this course paid for by the army then taking a 3 week in person course to get my sec+. I should be done with these by the end of this summer and by July 2025 is when I plan on getting a job in the Los Angeles area. I’ll probably take more courses in order to overall prepare myself more. From what I have been seeing in the LA area are entry level cyber security analyst roles no less than a $90k starting salary really. Having a secret or Top Secret clearance can also help you land a 6 figure starting salary from what it looks like on LinkedIn. Just got to work for a national defense oriented company. I like the course I’ve been learning a lot and a cyber security analyst role is very similar to my current job just security in the cyber realm and not in physical world. Even with all this the what if it doesn’t work out thoughts still cross my mind lol

[@nickgomez4488]

Thank you for this video, always felt stuck on where to start.

[@kenyagomez9240]

What an amazing video! Thanks for the podcast recs 💓

[@sahilsvision]

Going through this right now, on the second course. This course is top tier, the instructors are extremely knowledgeable. I plan on doing the Microsoft one next to compare.

[@jflores85]

How the hell do you make a portfolio for cyber security? What is there to show?

[@shrey6010]

I just got laid off, and I with limited amount of money I was thinking of learning something new. You're amazing, thank you!

[@rpstardustx8360]

I cant wait to start in December 🔥

[@RoboticOne]

I’m always pumped to hear the incredible information you share 🔥

[@Lints77]

This is a rock solid content. One of the best if not the best I have seen in ages

[@PJ_charts]

Wow, to think that i just stumbled on you channel, this couldn't come a better time. I'm out of words to express how spirit lifted i am after watching this vid. Thank so much Josh. You've got my sub.

[@JoshMadakor]

That means a lot to me! Thank you for the nice comment and the sub😭

[@NotoriousFear]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge man!

[@2wice_as_nice]

This is great! Just gave me hope because I started feeling a little frustrated.

[@evelynnmimijae]

This is a great video. Thank you!!!

[@nicovgz1897]

Bro that’s as thorough as can be!!! Thanks brosky 🙏

[@brownw1011]

I'm impressed how you break things down that makes sense and why. I don't see how you can't land a Cybersecurity job after doing these tasks you recommend. Consistency is key. You earned a like, subscribe, and share from me. Thank you!

[@annabellaowusuaagyemang6435]

Let me save this, finish the course and come back. Thank you. The course in interesting and very informative

[@aminmohamed9617]

Thank you josh you have been a godsend I’ve been binging your videos,trying to break into the industry I would know where to begin without you. Thanks again for all you do.

[@PHIWallcrawler]

Josh, thank you so much for your advice. I am planning to start the Goggle Cybersecurity Certificate program to help me prepare for the Sec+. I needed guidance on what can I add on me resume to fill in the gap on the skills, certs and experience, you answered those questions for me in the most simplest manner. Thank you !

[@kaniick]

Odd that this come up on my feed. Never watched one of your videos before but just completed the course and received the certificate. I am going for the Comptia trifecta and figured the Google cyber cert would be a good fountain which seems like it is. I will work on implementing your tactics to leave public service work and get a foothold in IT. Thanks for the info.

[@GrumpyGillsFishing]

I earned my google cyber sec certificate in 1 month. It was a fantastic introduction into cyber security. I’m still searching for a job, the main thing holding me back right now is everyone wants someone with a BA and they seem to all have automated systems that filter out the applicants go don’t.

[@OxKing87]

Thank you for making this video, I am halfway through the course myself and this gives me confidence in landing my first job

[@JoshMadakor]

Best of luck! ^^

[@OnceUponaTimeIn-qp9sx]

Josh do you know anyone that acquired a job with a google certification only? It would be a great segment to your channel if you can interview someone that acquired a job with only a google cert. Love your channel by the way. Thanks.

[@CaptainBlaine]

Thanks for making this! Great advice.

[@steelresilience]

Bruh, thanks. I needed something like this. All I have is the Google Cyber Cert and Bachelor's in MIS (I forgot everything I learned and they didn't push certs or even talk about them)

[@kannaachilla]

Thank you! Please do more videos about changing domain from non technical to cyber security

[@JacksonDarcus]

Brand new to this, so allow me to say...thank you so much! May blessings be yours.

[@tylernguyen1271]

Just found your channel yesterday. Love your content, love your videos. And I am such a fan of how you broke things down in this video. “Maxing stats?” You are speaking my language

[@JoshMadakor]

Awesome, thank you! ^^

[@manderman7]

I am on course 3 of the google cybersecurity cert and am learning a lot. But I have to say this video right here gave me a lot of confidence and practical steps to help me feel confident that I can land a job.

[@brandonmalcolm2051]

How long will it take you to finish the course?
