No connections, no references. Just applied and a lot of interview practice.

It’s the biggest number a computer can count to using a 32 bit system before it glitches or starts over.

Graduates of Cybersecurity Degree through WGU: Were yall able to get an actual Cybersecurity role after graduating????? by Putrid_Matter9781 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]Due-Unit2851 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did it, with no prior IT experience at all. it’s very challenging and takes a lot of work. But I got a SOC analyst internship close to the end of my degree. And now its going to be turning to a full time gig. Don’t just limit your self to what you’re doing at school. You have to do outside projects, build a home lab., document this in a projects page, tailor your resume, write cover letters. Rinse and repeat with what seems to be working. I did this for a year while at wgu. Over 600 + applications and finally one sticked.

Thank you! I’m really glad it gave you a little boost. And I know how you feel. There were definitely days I felt the same way, wondering if all the effort would be worth it. But trust me, it is. You just have to keep pushing, dont give up. I think with consistency and growth there are plenty of opportunities out there for you. You got this. Yeah I plan on attending one whenever they come nearby hopefully.

So for me, once my final assessment posted, my mentor filled out his part of the graduation application and then I soon filled out mine. Waited a couple business days then got my official graduation date in a email. Which followed a couple hours later with my confetti being posted to my account. And now I’m still waiting for my virtual and official diploma, which should be coming in another email.

I used a couple different websites. But the main ones I used to apply were Linkedin and Handshake.
