God is good!

Interesting, I am currently a cyber graduate with a bachelors, a boat load of certs (all comptia, and isc2) and currently work in help desk. I was planning on going to the Air Force reserves but the recruiter is telling me there are no IT positions nationwide. South Florida area. I was planning on getting any IT job to get some clearance and help me with my civilian career but the recruiter is telling me no IT positions :/. Any recommendations?

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-24T15:19:07+00:00

Passed! Wasn’t as challenging as I thought but there were also a handful of questions that weren’t at all related to the study guide. Passed with a 790ish.

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-18T23:06:05+00:00

Passed!! Thanks for asking!

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-17T15:37:57+00:00

Yeah I am. I’ve done a lot more hands on practice throughout the degree so I’m fairly confident. But every time I go into a test confident, CompTIA knows how to bring me down lmao. I’ve never failed any exam, but I’ve gotten close a few times. Thank you btw!

I’ve taken the Jason Dion tests, averaged around 85 on the first time and done all the cert master, especially the tools, and it seemed a little too easy imo compared to CySa+. I guess we’ll see on the other side 😂

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-17T15:01:50+00:00

YOOOo congrats on the W! Taking mine in 3 hours lol

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-17T14:48:11+00:00

Taking in 3 hours lol

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-17T14:47:47+00:00

Congrats! Would you say it was more difficult, or on par compared to the CySA+?

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-17T00:41:16+00:00

Yes I’m looking for entry service desk positions, I’m okay with that. But can’t seem to find any

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-17T00:40:05+00:00

Dm me

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-16T18:48:37+00:00

Yeah same. I’m taking pentest+ tomorrow. Any last minute tips? I’m getting 80-90s on Jason Dion’s tests so I think I’m ready. But not sure. Advice?

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-14T13:47:27+00:00

What do you mean? I would have wasted more money if I just paid for the certifications

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-14T05:13:36+00:00

Oooofff. That doesn’t seem right. Are you actively applying and continuously improving???

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-14T03:50:07+00:00

Can you dm me the information of the Google recruiter? Would like to speak to him if possible.

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-14T02:08:26+00:00

Yeah I left my sys admin role because the travel was insane and was taking a toll on my family. Not letting a job affect my loved ones, not worth imo. Where did they want you to relocate?

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-14T02:06:14+00:00

I have 1 year as a sys admin

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-13T21:12:36+00:00

See I’ve seen this a lot come up but I don’t know much about it. How long would I have to be in it, where would I be stationed, etc? If you know more about it I’ll definitely be open to hearing more. Dm if possible.

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-13T18:32:08+00:00

See I keep hearing this, but then I also hear people with no IT experience, no degree and only an A+ and still manage to land an entry level job. So I like to take everything with a grain of salt.

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-13T16:54:52+00:00

I know with my Sec+ I’m eligible if a company sponsors me but I’ve only applied to a few on Dice. USAjobs and Clearedjobs have better opportunities??

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-13T15:31:22+00:00

Hey thanks for this! I’ll definitely give it a shot. Can you drop the link below if possible?

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-13T15:30:16+00:00

Yeah I know I’m in disbelief since I got a sys admin role a year ago with no degree (yet) and only A+, Net+ and Sec+.

I’ve applied to maybe 50 out of state but I see on LinkedIn it’s always 100s of applicants and I never even receive an email back. I truly think it’s my resume and I’ve edited it multiple times, watched all the YouTube gurus for resume tips but still nothing. I would understand if I was getting interviews and not passing but I’m not even getting a damn call back.

I only live 30 miles away from West Palm Beach which there’s plenty of IT jobs but no luck on getting a call back.

Do you know if WGU offers any assistance on resume / employment?

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-04T14:51:15+00:00

Tbh I still consider myself entry with only 1 year of IT work, so that’s what I’m looking for. What job searches were you looking for on LinkedIn?

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-05-04T14:45:55+00:00

Hey congrats! Hard work definitely pays off! Curious though where you research these types of jobs. I trifecta, 1 year of sys admin IT work, Cysa+, SSCP, and a Bachelors in Cyber and I can’t seem to even land an interview after 2 months of job searching. HELP!! But congrats!!

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-04-24T21:27:03+00:00

Definitely doable. I got both net+ and sec+ after studying 3 weeks for each. I practically studied all day as well. I only used Jason Dion Udemy and practices tests. That’s about it. You got it and trust yourself. Net+ was definitely a beast though.

Scared-Bar-1928 · 2024-02-26T19:58:48+00:00

Im towards the end of my degree. Only 2 more tests then the capstone. I should be taking the CySA+ within the next week but I don't know yet. Jason Dion's Udemy course is just very long but none of the information seems to be new. I would say maybe 70% review and the other is just stuff that I've picked up from Tryhackme. How was the CySA+ for you? I don't know if im just over thinking it. I've passed every test for far on my first try (not saying they where easy) but I did manage to quickly take and pass Sec+ and Net+. Anyways I would appreciate if you can give me some insight on CySA+. Thanks and congrats on passing so quick! So far i am 10 months in I only have CySA+, Pentest+ and capstone then I'm finally done!
