Here's a bonus. Build a cybersecurity home lab virtually. I'm currently building mines as we speak. Employers will be impressed by this. Essentially you are showing employers that your skills are self-taught

[@THE.MICHAEL.ANGELO]

EXACTLY. A lot of people don't realize how important it is to be able to show Companies/ Hiring Managers that you know, nor, how important it is to work on projects which show Hiring Managers that you understand what it is that you're applying for. My Director even confirmed that our company doesn't even really consider those with Degrees. Sure, getting a Degree is honorable, but when he asks Candidates about what their favorite projects were and why it/ they were their favorite projects, how they resolved and so on, they can't answer, because all while getting their College Degrees, they've never worked on any real-world projects. Building Home Labs, especially when specific to Cybersecurity is so well appreciated and respected and that's 90% of what gets you hired. The 10% remaining is your attitude and personality.

@@THE.MICHAEL.ANGELO exactly. I have several laptops and pc's that I'm planning projects for just have to upgrade them to at least 16 GB of Ram.

[@THE.MICHAEL.ANGELO]

@@michaeldickerson98 Do it Bro! It's all worth the time and money!!! 16gb RAM is so inexpensive nowadays. I've upgraded an old HP Elite (2012) with 16gb RAM and simply use an external HD, but I barely use that since most of the projects I've worked on were Online and Cloud-based. Let's go!

Also if possible try documenting the steps that are done for establishing features such as adding a webserver or setting up load balancers.

Thanks

[@ShanesHQ]

Hey Sandra, ever since a kid I have been passionate about computing and as I have gotten older im interested in more cyber security, my question is how do I know which role I should be aiming for is there a quiz or a video detailing each role in the secter? I recently asked a Q on reddit and the response was majorly what part of CSec do you want to go into, it could be a good video idea iff you havent done so already also a response would mean a lot thank you

[@jackhammer516]

Great video, trying to build my skills and resume at the moment. Hoping to land a job next year.

[@WithSandra]

Best of luck to you Jack! Having a strong technical project portfolio/skillset is really important, I'd still apply for internships for this summer while you learn since it doesn't hurt!

[@jackhammer516]

@@WithSandra Thank you

[@joeryvandamme5732]

Very useful information, as always. 😁 bu-baii 👋

[@tyrojames9937]

COOL! 😀👍🏾

[@patrickchan2503]

why do some companies want to put a junior person in a helpdesk role? is it so they can promote the current helpdesk to a cyber role, prioritising internal promotions) and so a newbie can fill the vacant helpdesk role? That's the only explanation I have for this. Note: while the skills from helpdesk will help with cyber skills, I do think people can go into cyber and skip helpdesk. Is that correct? I'm not a cyber expert, just an onlooker.

[@mr_b2986]

Thank you for your ability to explain on each of the topics, keeping it simple for your audience to understand and follow along. That in itself is a great skill 😊 Keep up the great work Subd_🎉

[@jackhammer516]

Hey Sandra, do you think using school labs or Google Cybersecurity certificate labs are sufficient for a portfolio? As in screenshots and explanations showing what you learned?

[@WithSandra]

They're a great place to start! When I was just starting out I mostly had my school projects on my resume and slowly replaced them with internships as I started working when I was a student. A great example is walkthrough-style (example: whokilleddb.medium.com/tryhackme-pickle-rick-walkthrough-2c33bf07c77b ) But the most important thing is how you portray the projects in the 2-3 bullets on your resume that employers will actually be looking at.

[@jackhammer516]

@@WithSandra Thank you so much for the advice.

This was a great video and I agree with everything that you said. My only question, what is a good resource to learn Operating system Basics ?

[@AngelTorres-ot6mb]

As a newbie with no experience or degree should I get a certified cyber security certification first?

[@elnegrohotep]

My problem is I'm not good at programming and I don't understand programming so should I definitely start to learn programming first before I get into cybersecurity

Hello I'm in the process of obtaining the following for 3 certifications from SANS ... SEC275 Foundations & GFACT Certification... The second course you will take is SEC401 Security Essentials & GSEC Certification.... The third and final course you will take is SEC504 Incident Handling & GCIH Certification ... I have zero IT experience and just wanted to know upon completion of these certifications what type of job can I get?

I might be wrong but I think cyber security is boring apart from writing malware... but again, that's my opinion as an onlooker with a software background. I might find interesting discoveries once I get a cyber role. And I think someone with say a police background will find forensics interesting, someone with a health and safety background will find auditing fun, etc etc, because the learning curve will be different.

[@MrTapout180]

Might be boring but won’t be boring to your wallet.

Should I just go back to school for nursing lol someone told me to avoid tech for 5 years….

[@eshazeshan9354]

I personally would recommend to - if I could go back I’d major in medical rather than tech. Tech has quickly become oversaturated and most are consulting jobs which doesn’t ave a good work life balance. I’m currently tryna change my route bc of the high stress environment
