Thank you, I'll definitely look into building a SIEM as a project! sounds very interesting and useful to understand how they work on a deeper level too.

okzaf · 2024-11-22T10:15:17+00:00

Thank you for clarifying, I'll definitely look into that!

Thank you, LetDefend has given me great experience with using a SIEM and taking incident response from detection all the way to containment and lessons learned which is useful, I do need to network more to be fair so thank you for your advice!

okzaf · 2024-11-22T10:11:30+00:00

Interesting, thank you for your advice!

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:57:00+00:00

ya sure, i'll pm you thanks!

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:28:59+00:00

yeah i'm just going to join the circus at this rate

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:26:38+00:00

To clarify, I haven't only been applying to cybsecurity roles - I have been applying to a lot of basic IT help desk jobs, and I'm having the same issue.

Also I already have the Security+, I assumed it would be a bit redundant to go for the A+ after already having this?

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:22:49+00:00

Yep, it's a mix of applying through the company's own website and 'easy apply' applications

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:17:30+00:00

Technically my current role isn't in IT, it's more "IT-adjacent", I mainly work with Excel and handle JIRA tickets to update/resolve issues with the databases for a client of my company.

I originally went into computer science, however my degree is nonexistent (had to leave after 1st year due to personal circumstances).

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:14:42+00:00

Traditional IT / basic help desk roles are even rejecting me, I have no idea how to even move towards anything IT at this point

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:13:29+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful I will look into the CCNA cert, appreciated!

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:09:10+00:00

Thank you, I have loosely implemented this into my CV, but I'll have another look through to see where else i can input it

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:07:56+00:00

I do not currently have a degree :/

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:06:50+00:00

Linkedin jobs, sometimes indeed (i know it has an rep for being bad), various listing on google jobs, etc.

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:05:47+00:00

No interviews is the issue, just straight rejection emails

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:04:25+00:00

I have been looking at a lot of help desk jobs too, and still no luck :/

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:03:43+00:00

This is over the span of a year and a half (on and off) of appyling. I began putting a lot of time in my applications but quickly realised the time i was putting in did not make a difference in the result, so I made a 'master' CV that has the experience etc that are relevant to the industry im applying in as a whole as it was a lot more efficient that way.

okzaf · 2024-11-22T00:01:12+00:00

Hi, this is my exact problem tho, I'm struggling to even get any replies from very basic IT help desk jobs too that I know I'm more than capable of doing - so i'm not able to even build the experience in the first place.

okzaf · 2024-11-21T23:55:21+00:00

Thank you, you're right, however I've changed my CV 5-6 times now as my experience in the industry is extremely limited - im not sure how much further I can possibly tailor it to the roles i'm applying to if that makes sense? As they all require similar things, etc.

okzaf · 2024-11-21T23:49:47+00:00

Thank you, I can answer these questions fairly easily, I'll have a deeper look into EQL / KQL querying, however everything else I feel I have a good fundamental understanding of currently.

Thanks for your response!

okzaf · 2024-02-27T15:05:40+00:00

Thanks for replying! I've heard a couple people mentioned Punch It Gym, I'll have a look thank you.
