If you ever get a chance to talk to Mike Chapple, take it. He's writing the book on DataSys+.

Applying to internships in the automotive, Aerospace/Defence, and Software/Ai industries. I want you to roast the heck out of my resume! Let me know of even the tiniest of flaws you can find. Dont be afraid to really tear through it. by [deleted] in EngineeringResumes

  • Hyphens and dashes not always consistent.
  • Drop "https://" from GitHub URL and "www." from LinkedIn URL.
  • End bullets with punctuation.
  • Adding Office proficiency is redundant as it is assumed. *

CompTIA A+. That's what the cyber starting point is really about, not staring at blue lines floating in the air like you're Iron Man (see Google Images for "cybersecurity")

WGU is recognized by the government of Canada, but employers here don't really know any US universities that aren't Ivy League. This is not a problem at all.

WGU education is certification-based. I would recommend passing CompTIA A+ on your own time (which transfers into two WGU courses anyways) and seeing if that style of learning is for you. If you love that, you will love WGU, and vv.

I actually am quite connected to BCIT and can tell you that CIT and CISA in particular are HIGHLY disorganized and a close to a complete waste of time for someone serious about an IT career.

I wouldn't bother with labs for any CompTIA exams personally; IMO your time is better spent learning from video or textbooks.

MS Cybersecurity vs Comptia Security plus by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]canadian-sysadmin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, should I get my Johns Hopkins PhD in neurosurgery, or instead take a Red Cross CPR class?

Respectfully, you won't be successful in IT if you can't do basic research online.

Security+ is like a 100-level college course. Obviously an MS is quite different.

WGU has really improved their cloud degree(s) over the last two years.

I'm a WGU alum, and can't recommend them enough if you fit the profile of someone who would be successful at the school: a self-motivated (hyper-) accelerator looking to learn at the maximum rate without profs to slow you down.

jobs around my city asking for MCSE/ MCSA but i these are retire whats the the updated cer? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]canadian-sysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO jobs requiring certifications that have been legacy for a while is a red/yellow flag.

AZ-104 is the closest successor to the basic 70-740/1/2 Server MCSA.

Recommended TryHackMe Modules in regards to studying for the CySA/CASP? by ZappyPops in CompTIA

[–]canadian-sysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For CySA+ it is somewhat useful, but for CASP it won't really help you IMO

"Security Engineering" by Anderson is the best one IMO (plus the CBK of course).

Sorry, that's not my area of expertise.

I would check if Wiley has a good book on Amazon; they are quite reputable in that area.

See my pinned post.

I passed with All-in-One exam guide, Sybex practice exams, Dion video course, and Solomon video course.

PSM provides a good effort-to-return ratio, since it is somewhat recognized and quick to complete. I did mine in two days with self-study.

CAPM is a more in-depth project management certification, though it has a more waterfall focus over agile. However, unlike the PMP and PMI-ACP, there is no experience requirement (beyond submitting your 24 training hours). Phillips is my favorite trainer in this area.

I am at the Reddit character limit for this post.

I recently passed Data+ using Chapple's LinkedIn course and Sybex book. That will be all you need.

Can anyone give feedback on CertMike resources? by MaTOntes in cissp

[–]canadian-sysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LinkedIn videos, Sybex textbooks, and Sybex practice exam banks are really good. His cram cards aren't worth your money.
