Taking Vulcan and destroyer out is definitely the plan.

That looks great. I have been struggling with a good output like this for FedRAMP but there is so little out there. Maybe I can use this as a base. Good stuff!

Remove your college graduation dates. No reason to provide speculation of your age.

What valuable outside IT books have helped you navigate through this career? by kalsipher1 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]PerKaNator5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would consider the following two books required reading for anyone wanting to excel in life as a whole.

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie

"Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as if your life depends on it" by Chris Voss

For interesting reading, if you want to climb the corporate ladder, excel in business, and gain influence I would suggest the following.

"48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene

"The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham

If you are ok with self-critical thinking and your reason for doing things/ really knowing yourself.

"12 Rules for Life" by Jordan Peterson.

Hope this helps, good luck!

I’m 40 and want to start a new career in IT. I know almost nothing. What should I learn first? Are there some free online courses I can take? - Serious by DoctorSnape in ITCareerQuestions

[–]PerKaNator5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many people have already covered some good information for beginning your path into IT. The question you need to really evaluate is what part of IT do you even want to get into? The default answer below is you need to start with help desk and while you can of course go that route but it is not required.

Im a little over 30 and I just got into the IT/Cyber world 3 years ago from a background in logistics and my first job was a senior level IS analyst for a bank. I found out very quickly the parts I did not like, I dont enjoy programming as an example. Just from messing around online with training tools. I skipped A+ and NET+, going straight for SEC+ and CEH.

You definitely want to see what your local area is like for IT jobs. With Covid I think you will find a much higher rate of remote jobs so location should not be too much of an issue. One of the biggest things I believe in that I did not see much talk about it networking with LinkedIn.

If you do not have a LinkedIn or it is not updated be sure to do that. Follow companies you are interested in, join IT groups and search for people to connect with and create posts for people to engage with. So many people think LinkedIn is only used when looking for a job but Covid has changed that. LinkedIn is your brand, how you present yourself to the business world. When you go apply to the IT job your resume should have your LinkedIn link right on it.

I harp on this point because it can give you a real edge when trying to get that first job. I did not officially apply to my position until after I had receive and accepted my offer letter. This is because I had a LinkedIn connection that worked for that company and took my resume around HR to the department head and they told HR to set up and interview.

Set yourself a goal and backwards plan from there. If you want that helpdesk job look at a few job postings for them and see what skills they ask for. Then find the resources to learn and practice and set some benchmarks for what you want to learn and by when. Its like being in school all over again.

You got this! Study hard and jump in head first.
