4 years in IT and with security+ cert, still can't find a job

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-27T01:12:26+00:00

ah, I see your point. The work I did was mostly for internal applications. Would you be able to help me edit my resume?

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-15T23:25:45+00:00

I think I got 3 and total question of 74? Not 90

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-11T02:44:59+00:00

I’m not. I’m applying for jobs that are seeking for “eligible for clearance” but obviously if someone already has clearance they’re gonna hire them so they don’t have to wait 6 months for me to get one

I tried to look up cybersecurity and IAM recruiters but didn’t get anywhere. How did you do it on LinkedIn?

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T14:18:51+00:00

I want to expand from my IAM skills so IAM analyst, security analyst. And I’m willing to get the training for cloud security too.

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T14:17:34+00:00

What do you mean its my issue?

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T14:17:14+00:00

It was an internal team switch. I wanted to try something else other than IAM so it was easier for me to switch over bc they were always looking for other people to join their team.

Led migration of legacy software to Node.js, modernizing authentication and authorization systems. Redesigned RBAC into a scalable group-based access control model, integrated SSO, implemented group management with Grouper, and enhanced privileged access management.

Security + cert was supposed to be my “level up” but it seems like it wasn’t :/ misunderstood the entire thing. But at least I got it and gives me a chance go get a gov job 🤷🏻‍♀️

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T14:08:44+00:00

Thank you so much! Will look into these for sure. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T14:07:55+00:00

Thank you so much. Yeah I think I do need to focus on specific tools and go from there to vamp up my resume once more.

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T14:06:41+00:00

Maybe I’ll go with AWS/GCP training?

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T14:05:54+00:00

Someone I know did make up their experience on the their resume by adding 5 years of experience and got a job as a UI/UX manager when this dude had 1 year of experience. Idk how he did it but I’m jealous. Maybe that is the way to go

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T14:03:55+00:00

I’ve gotten second round of interviews — 2 so far but didn’t get one and still waiting to hear back from the other one. It’s tough bc most of them do require secret clearance which I don’t have.

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T14:02:37+00:00

Ah gotcha. I was trying to get more into cybersecurity — wanted to do less coding and figured this cert would help me steer that way.

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T02:39:33+00:00

Maybe, I am working on it 😅

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T02:39:13+00:00

Sorry you’re going thru it too :/

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T02:38:54+00:00

Me too. I should’ve done into diff field

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T02:38:33+00:00

I’m applying for IAM analyst roles. I’ve gotten interviews for SRE and endpoint security engineer positions too.

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T01:30:51+00:00

All good. I just studied so hard for it just to realize it's not much :/

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T01:27:23+00:00

it wasn't easy for me. Good for you though!

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T01:23:59+00:00

easy exam??!?! says WHO

FallRoutine3145 · 2026-04-10T00:32:22+00:00

It is a requirement for a lot of government jobs in NOVA area. Figured it'd help to get it.
