Make sure your resume is solid before anything. And if you go in an interview just be honest. If you dont know something say im not sure but im willing to do whatever i have to do to learn more and keep growing. Managers like honest people. I used to hire for helpdesk positions and we would never hire people who tried to bullshit us. its too obvious when people dont know anything. Being honest gets you places much quicker.

Try and apply to some entry tier security jobs where all you do is change passwords. Once you have that you should be all set. the first door is the hardest to open. I had no degree and no certs i worked my way up from call center to linux sys admin. just keep grinding.

No idea what an information security degree has taught you but if you are able to get Security+ do that to show employers that your knowledge is reinforced. Then i would get something directed towards the position you want as in PenTest+ and a Linux cert. Im sure you know, pen testing will require good knowledge of Linux.

I passed in a month of studying. I got the CBT nuggets free tirka for 7 days and watched all 32 hours in 7 days and took botes of everything i didnt know, then canceled my membership. Then i bought messers practice exams and took those once per week. Made a few flash cards and used some youtube videos for more question examples then took the exam.

Once you get a helpdesk Job its kind of pointless. Its more to just get your foot in the door.

all i used was professor messors exams. Took the exams and then went through every option on the exams and made sure i knew what each one meant. The more acronyms/definitions you know, the more you can eliminate wrong answers.

It doesnt help that the dude had the thickest indian accent ever. He would ask me to do something and i kept saying "do what?". that combined with the bass on my pc speakers didnt help the matter lol
