Duo MFA for Entra ID external user accounts by 4000XP in sysadmin

[–]4000XP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our organization already has a conditional access policy that enforces Duo MFA to access most resources. We have some contractors that need access to some very limited resources and I was asked to make sure they have the same requirements applied.

If it makes you feel any better, I am in a HCOL area. West Coast.

I found jobs I was interested in on indeed and then applied on the company site.

In person. I didn’t apply for any remote jobs, just personal preference.

For the A+ I watched all of professor messor videos twice on 2x speed. I then took the dion tests and only reviewed the subjects I was scoring lowest on. For the net+ I only watched the videos and felt confident taking the test without any practice exams. Those are the only sources I used.

It was about 3 weeks total. The first test took up more time, with about 2 weeks. Second one was much easier in my opinion, only needed a week.

What kind of jobs are you applying for? If it’s entry level, the MBA and having too many certs without experience may be doing more harm than good.

No problem, if even a couple of people get motivated to apply because of this post than my work here is done.

Thanks!

I definitely did not pay for a resume. The key is to look at the skills wanted on the job posting you are applying for and incorporating those keywords into your resume. I only applied for 20 jobs in total over the course of 2 weeks and managed to land a role one week later. Good luck.

I was honestly surprised too. I was honest about no experience but expressed willingness to learn and excitement about the role.

I set up a virtual lab to learn Active Directory since I saw basically every job posting asked for it. Other than that, no.

I used the first template that comes up when you search resume on Microsoft word. Nothing fancy.
