This girl really wasn’t trying to give any information 😒 I think she just wanted to promote her ebook. Talking about “google information and KZbin”. We know that !

[@dawsonsschittcreek5395]

100%

[@Anna-jv3kd]

@@dawsonsschittcreek5395 I thought I was the only one who thought that. The lady was asking good questions but she wasn't giving the answers but going around the topic. All I got from this, is go on Google, KZbin and and get my book...it didn't answer any of my questions.

[@SC2point0]

Exactly. Her advice was basically get my ebook or Google it lol.

[@jdgroom7]

Yeah she was kinda a turd.

[@Ginger_Spicy_Candor]

Well I know of some channels who aren’t shy about giving specific information such as - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPPeap9Z7uamaM

[@pump.queenz]

Making the switch from Healthcare to Tech I’m super nervous because i don’t know where to start. I thought this video would help but all she did was promote her ebook 😭

[@Ginger_Spicy_Candor]

Please don’t be nervous! There are many resources out there for you! Check out Professor Messer and channels like kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPPeap9Z7uamaM where they give specifics. Don’t hesitate to comment and ask questions

The second I saw Digital Empress on the thumbnail, I had to click this video. I love both of your channels and although I'm almost one year and a half in my Desktop Support role, I want to get into a Cybersecurity role in 2021. Thank you for this!!

Shout to both of these brilliant young women, but Tailor seemed to be holding on to the helpful info. I understand she wants promote her book/business, but she coulda given us more than Google and KZbin.

[@kenyamcintosh]

I’m kinda surprised she didn’t mention starting out in help desk for people who don’t have technical experience. Nonetheless great interview!

[@saywhatttt2780]

Thank you for posting this I was wondering how to get into the field entry level as far as tech without the experience yet. Kinda like doing caregiver jobs before coming a nurse or being a teacher assistant before becoming a teacher lol.

[@sue8935]

Great to see a female in the STEM field, but withheld really valuable information that was being asked of her. It is ok to promote yourself, but if you are a guest speaker then please make sure to at least answer questions appropriately, this could also help your book sells. The problem with "Us" is that we feel we do not want to share unless there is a tag on what we have to offer. I get it from a business perspective, but sometimes just being open you will receive your blessings threefold. The industry is huge for IT and there is enough to go around for everyone. Love the host, but the guest was just a little too secretive for my taste. I see I am not alone on this one.

[@Ginger_Spicy_Candor]

Are you still looking to get into the field? Here’s a video channel with free ideas 💡 on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPPeap9Z7uamaM

She wasn't answering the questions the interviewer was asking; she kept meandering and fluffing around. She used a lot of words but very little content. Im disappointed

I totally agree with you. She just talking around the questions. I think she just here to promote her stuff smh

[@patrickbritton4082]

Maybe she's thinking about going into politics?

[@Ginger_Spicy_Candor]

Agreed. I got more from a 4 minute cyber animation from a cyber specialist (video link here- kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPPeap9Z7uamaM) than I did during this interview, which shocked me because I like the guest speaker and have followed her a long time.

[@peter67998]

[@jacksonai1231]

The lady ask a lot of good questions but the other lady was answering them with lack of passion at all. It felt like she was given the same answers and more about herself, and what she's trying to promote.

You dont need to know how to code to start a cyber security.. starting IT helpdesk or A+ Networking is a plus then taking cyber security makes things much easier otherwise its ok to step in with zero exprience..

[@Ginger_Spicy_Candor]

True

[@zlovebae6679]

Don't work in Cyber Sec just because you want that money. You can't fake it till you make it. You need a solid motivation and drive. Lot of humiliation, and feel ok to take risks. Need team effort, also need to be confidence to work alone and constantly learning. Otherwise, you will feel burn out and overwhelm.

[@milxasap7412]

This woman cannot answer ANY of these questions or simply does not want to. I am an engineer and I know how that we like to see things from every angle before we get to the point but we actually get to the point where the listener will understand what has to be done. I really tried hard to understand what she was saying and there was nothing specific at all. TLDR version of this video: There is an X amount of things to learn, in Y places. Good luck.
