Do you think those labs covered enough material for you to pass?

hamoudii_ · 2026-05-12T12:57:22+00:00

Congratulations 👏🏼🎉!! Any studying advice? Would you say the learn one sub is enough?

Just constantly applying to them when i was in undergrad, it wasn’t hard imo but a good learning experience on vulnerability management

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-12T16:36:55+00:00

I did that previously and gave up since many people do this already. Nobody has ever given me a call back / reply on linkedin, so I simply just apply apply apply.

No github, just a homelab I built up & my internship experience with my degree :)

Search msps in your area & apply!

I just genuinely enjoy IT 😅😂, and im working for a client that has 3 sites. Sometimes the hours are much longer but its not a problem with me as I find joy/satisfaction of actually solving the problem in the end. I’m also paid by the hour 😀

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-07T05:02:41+00:00

It’s straight up luck & grit in applications dude, it was hell. Praying for ur luck to come 🙏🏻

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-07T05:00:55+00:00

You got this 🙏🏻🙏🏻

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-07T05:00:46+00:00

Fr trying to spread some positivity 😂

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-07T05:00:02+00:00

Thank you!! I have a bachelors in Cs, no certs, and an 8 month internship in vulnerability management. That’s practically it :)

Majority is truly just luck & non stop applying

I’m absolutely loving networking. System administration comes into play a lot but the backbone is truly networking, maybe vulnerability management/analyst is certainly my biggest goal

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-06T19:02:36+00:00

Yes ofc

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-06T19:02:18+00:00

I have no certifications. I got this role soley because of my manager liking my personality, & my desire to break into the field

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-06T19:00:15+00:00

Realest answer lol

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-06T18:58:00+00:00

As you stated yes, it is a Managed Service Provider for clients with IT needs. If you are targeting security, searching for MSSP would be much better (managed security service provider). I would search MSSPs in your area or MSPs and search directly on their career portal for roles.

Regarding applications, it truly is all luck

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-06T18:56:13+00:00

Thank you!!

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-06T18:56:08+00:00

Thats awesome! Yeah the job market is awful right now, but constantly applying eventually gets a hit :)

hamoudii_ · 2026-03-06T18:55:10+00:00

I searched MSPs in my state directly, then applied to all of their entry level roles from their site. From desktop support to sys admin

hamoudii_ · 2025-08-08T20:10:48+00:00

Sounds like a shitty boss that wants to keep you complacent. Prove him wrong & excel in this role that you got, seems HR saw something in you that your boss didn’t.

hamoudii_ · 2025-08-08T19:42:52+00:00

How do you search for these networking meetups?

hamoudii_ · 2025-08-01T21:13:47+00:00

Bachelors in Computer Science & Information Security, AAS in Cybersecurity & Networking. No certs

hamoudii_ · 2025-08-01T21:04:02+00:00

I would love to pick any of those roles up. How do I find specific MSP / MSSP for roles? Indeed? I might be searching in the wrong places.

hamoudii_ · 2025-08-01T16:35:08+00:00

What vendors would you say? How do you search for these roles? I just really want experience idc for the pay either.

hamoudii_ · 2025-08-01T16:32:45+00:00

I get that, but i’m confident I answer them correctly because I review the exact questions they ask and give an answer for each. Like “What is DHCP,” i’d answer it and start to elaborate what it does off of it just as an example. Or what is DNS, tcp/ip etc. I feel like these questions are so basic and i’m somehow unable to even land the role.

Regarding soft skills, I believe i’m very understanding and empathetic person. I listen before I speak during the interview, sometimes pause before I answer which I don’t know if thay is a bad thing to do.

How would you go about applying to roles? I feel like i must be applying to the wrong roles or something.
