    Here's a bonus. Build a cybersecurity home lab virtually. I'm currently building mines as we speak. Employers will be impressed by this. Essentially you are showing employers that your skills are self-taught

      EXACTLY. A lot of people don't realize how important it is to be able to show Companies/ Hiring Managers that you know, nor, how important it is to work on projects which show Hiring Managers that you understand what it is that you're applying for. My Director even confirmed that our company doesn't even really consider those with Degrees. Sure, getting a Degree is honorable, but when he asks Candidates about what their favorite projects were and why it/ they were their favorite projects, how they resolved and so on, they can't answer, because all while getting their College Degrees, they've never worked on any real-world projects. Building Home Labs, especially when specific to Cybersecurity is so well appreciated and respected and that's 90% of what gets you hired. The 10% remaining is your attitude and personality.

    Hey Sandra, ever since a kid I have been passionate about computing and as I have gotten older im interested in more cyber security, my question is how do I know which role I should be aiming for is there a quiz or a video detailing each role in the secter? I recently asked a Q on reddit and the response was majorly what part of CSec do you want to go into,
    it could be a good video idea iff you havent done so already also a response would mean a lot thank you

    why do some companies want to put a junior person in a helpdesk role? is it so they can promote the current helpdesk to a cyber role, prioritising internal promotions) and so a newbie can fill the vacant helpdesk role? That's the only explanation I have for this. Note: while the skills from helpdesk will help with cyber skills, I do think people can go into cyber and skip helpdesk. Is that correct? I'm not a cyber expert, just an onlooker.

      @WithSandra  24 дні тому +3

      They're a great place to start! When I was just starting out I mostly had my school projects on my resume and slowly replaced them with internships as I started working when I was a student. A great example is walkthrough-style (example: whokilleddb.medium.com/tryhackme-pickle-rick-walkthrough-2c33bf07c77b ) But the most important thing is how you portray the projects in the 2-3 bullets on your resume that employers will actually be looking at.

    I might be wrong but I think cyber security is boring apart from writing malware... but again, that's my opinion as an onlooker with a software background. I might find interesting discoveries once I get a cyber role. And I think someone with say a police background will find forensics interesting, someone with a health and safety background will find auditing fun, etc etc, because the learning curve will be different.
