If I get into Cybersecurity who is gonna flip these burgers?
you can do both haha
Tbh this channel seems a little BS at first glance . I work as a senior security consultant. Coding blonde seems a bit of a I'm a mother and turn on my kids phones. But ok dw I guess that's fine it looks like you are just aiming the video towards the general public and not technically advanced people most likely like you and me
Machines and robot 🤖 😆😆
Ikr lol 😩😂
😁😂
Your approach is so fresh and spot on, like how you co-related people's fear of learning to fear of change.
You're right, I always use a lot of excuses about learning new things.
I just started my new job in this industry! I'm so excited
How did you break in?
Do you have any course recommendation?
@@DIZZLEBOI44 I was scouted actually! I didn’t have to apply.
@@thepearlswirl wow lucky.
Hey what is your job title ? asking for my dog
In my experience there are a handful of ways to get your foot in the door:
1. Go to college - major in a stem field such as computer science. I’m really not a fan of the specialized cyber security degrees because the material is already outdated by the time you learn it. Stick with something like computer science and you should be good.
2. Start from a help desk position and work your way up by self learning. As a help desk tech it will give you insight on how an organization works. You can work up to system administrator or network administrator by learning on your own and since you are already working at a company by offering to help the system admins. As you gain experience apply for new roles.
3. Join the military. You can specify in your contract for a job in cyber security (offense or defense) just be sure to really look over your contract to ensure the job you think you are getting is actually what you have. Four or more years is a long time to work a job you don’t like.
This isn’t the end all be all of ways to get in the industry. Lots of resources online to look through. Good Luck!
@Алек Сневар I don't know what world you live in.
Can you give your whole story form betchlores till today?
@Алек Сневар , A bit of race baiting is inherent in your comment. You planning on voting “bone spur trump”.
Number two is what I did, along with number one. Started helpdesk while going to school for computer science. Moved up to networking after a year, spent five years there while finishing school, then looked for new opportunities.
Really good advice 👌🏾
I just enrolled in Skillshare looking into this field, I love your videos they are so informative :)
How crazy to watch a random video and see the college from the city where I grew up!
Thanks so much! I’m in a front-end role right now but have been getting my IT master’s with a concentration in cyber security for about three years now. I’m excited to transition to the field!
That's amazing, Bailey! Good luck with your transition 😍
Hey you! How was your spring semester? I just finished up the Forensics course and it went pretty well. Are you graduating this semester? Hope all is well!
excellent video, you're right, it's never too late to learn new skills
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share together experiences and suggestions. You remind me of Brittany Snow. 💜
Man I was just about to give up on trying to find a good video about cybersecurity and I came across this one. Whew Thankyou for the information!
Ahh so glad this video has found you!
Great video! As an outsider from a non-technical field, it is difficult to figure out which area of Cybersecurity to start with.
I have been working in support for a long time really want to get into cybersecurity
This path way in field cyber security he seems that good for me
1 : CS50 ( just a look)
2: IT fundamental (just a look)
3: A+
4:security+
5 : network+ and CCNA routing & switching +CCNA security
6: Operating systems[(windows & linux(with various distributions )]
7:programming (C+ python)
so, how do you look this roadmap ?
Give me your opinion about this one
and tell me which your roadmap you prefer it ?
May i ask what if one do if someone have a master degree but still unemployed for that particular working sector, but he cannot turn back to the starting point because he has already overqualified and job skills mismatch for another field's starting position. What should he do please?
This video is really great! I'm so happy to see a video like this from a woman who can encourage other women to join this career field. I've been in Cybersecurity for ten years and there's been very little diversity of staff and of thought. I'm sending this link to several of the young ladies I mentor and train and I'm sure it will be inspiring for them. Thank you for posting!
Pls how has the field been like? I have been learning web/software development but I'm thinking of giving up and switching to cyber security cause I think the web development field is now overcrowded. Pls is cyber security crowded too? Are there jobs for people abroad (remote jobs)?
Do you also mentor men ? Or only the ladies ?
Do you need a degree or certification in cybersecurity
Would you recommend cybersecurity bootcamp ?
Just did a youtube walk and I stopped by here. Found a nice content, and subscribed!
Cheers...
This video was very motivational
Here in Australia it seems to be impossible to get to to a career in cyber security all the job agency's seems to set up people in jobs that they have no interest in and no skills in
There are opportunities but they always ask experience for fresher which is very very hard to get in especially in my country
Amazing content and info 💯
Thank you. Your video was great. I am studying master of cybersecurity in Vancouver and it's going to be finished at the end of summer. I wanna get the CCNA certificate also. However, my problem is that I feel I am not ready to start a job. I just want to know by which position I can enter a company and start to gain experience, and work these things as real. Thank you.
Great Video, Thank you!
hi i'm actually a cybersecurity and also ethical hacker working in africa , but i want to apply for a job outside the continent , any idea to realise that objectif ??
Am just before 1 week entered into the cyber security professionals 0520 course in Cisco
I like your expressive use of hands. It helps to convey your message.
Well that hasn't come naturally took practice so I'm sure she's glad you noticed haha
@@jb4326 lol
Distracting hand gestures.
very informative as well as inspiring
Hey friend. Wow guess algorithms work. Thanks for this
Inspiring...would you mind telling some specific certifications.
I am 43, can I still get into cyber security ?
Absolutely.
Absolutely!!!!
Thanks for all of the great information
I'm glad it was helpful ☺️
Excellent content thanks
I’m looking towards this direction honestly. I’ve been on the man power side of physical security for too long and honestly want a more office based role with innovative technology and software.
I am in an Associates program currently, but am so nervous to transition to this field.
Don’t be nervous! You can do it! Tips on getting into the field video: ua-cam.com/video/FblHwG2VgcA/v-deo.html
Great topic Mascha very handy for my right now . I am still safe here in Holland.
I'm glad you like it! Please stay safe!
@@StereotypeBreakers Sure i stay safe you too ?
I anticipate to graduate in cyber security cert in December 2021. Now, I'm looking for an internship for this summer and no one call yet ! I am stressed out ! Most important in this field is the EXPERIENCE plus your certificate !
Does your school not have a career center? They can usually help you find an internship and network with professionals in the field.
Keep working at it! Tips on getting in: ua-cam.com/video/FblHwG2VgcA/v-deo.html
What are the resources available for those attempting to test this field and how do we access them? Such as,: Javascript, Python, etc.
To better understand my question, is it best to find these programs online or it a purchasable disk?
I obviously don't know anything so I believe these very basic questions are essential for us who struggle to begin getting a hands on experience
Just go to their website like python.org, I forgot the one for JavaScript, and install then. There is nothing wrong with just trying it. Look up on google cyber security tools and most are free or have a free version and you can test them at your home for pen testing and more. Definitely make a home lab if you are gonna do penetrating or create a virtualization lab through VMware, VirtualBox or something so that you don’t get in trouble.
I'm a Jr. Front-End Dev, according to what you said, it sounds like I might be on the right path towards a pentester, am I right?
Oh Yes you are
Yes, although you might want to look into getting some back end experience as most of this field revolves around networks and what not
Amazing Content , so helpful as always
Yay! I'm glad to hear that ☺️
@@StereotypeBreakers Is it possible to have your email address please? Thank you.
@@StereotypeBreakers It's urgent.
I have a bachelors in biomedical science and a masters in Information Technology. I am currently studying for CompTIA security+. Will this be enough to get me an entry level role?
Hi, I'm studying CompTIA SECURITY+ but I'm confused so how do you study? From the text book or youtuber? Thanks
This is something i've always thought about and wanted to try and get into. But I've only worked in the customer service and hospitality industry and I barelyknow anything about this. A long ways to go to get started, yea?
Hii, I've only worked in customer service as well. Did you get to start eventually?
Hi i have a question. I want to get into cyber security but i have no technical background. I wanted to know, which route to take. Should i start from an undergraduate level or i can take an Msc in the field as i happen to have a bachelor's in Business Admin
Hey! There are many pathways into it - I’m actually taking a foundations in cybersecurity course and vlogging about my experience, the first vlog went live today, check it out!
Taking some strong courses can definitely open up your opportunities for some internships. You want to build technical skills to discuss in the interview. A second Bachelors might be easier for you with no technical background. It might be accelerated if you can get all the general core credits transferred from your previous degree.

Wow super useful 😊
Freedom begins with Utopia.
The bad thing about job requirements is that it’s either too vague or have absolutely nothing to do with the actual job you will be doing!!! And that, my friend, is truly discouraging
i’m a CIS major. Is it possible for me to get into cyber security or is it not likely?
@Zeenahh yes, it is possible if you do a diploma at a technical college in cybersecurity, or a university degree in cybersecurity. There's low cost short courses on cybersecity on the app udemy, and you can study online through the SANS website. :)
What if I have a degree for an IT career that has little to do with these roles
@Leandro Vega you can do a technical college diploma on cybersecurity or network security, or you can do a university degree for cybersecurity. There's also affordable courses on ethical hacking on the udemy app, and you can study online cybersecurity courses on the SANS website. :)
I just started cyber security major I don’t want to be at a desk how do I avoid this
You're gonna be at a help desk for a year or so before gaining any positions in cybersecurity, try to see it as a prerequisite for cybersecurity, you need the experience in entry-level IT.
How many job offers are there for cybersecurity/network security roles at big companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Uber, etc? Because I've heard a lot of people getting jobs in these companies through competitive coding. How much experience do we need to get a cybersecurity role in these companies?
I'd do your research on those questions! The answers will be role-specific
There are many roles. Facebook has many roles just check their website for new job openings. Minimum 3-5 yrs but it can vary.
got a cyber cert. and still have no exp. and thus no calls, all bs man
How to get into robotics industry , which programming languages should we know ????
Again, it depends on what you want to do in the robotics industry. Do some research non what jobs there are and what sounds fun to you. Then work backwards to figure out what skills, education and experience you need for it
@Ajay Beniwal, hello, two good programming languages for robotics are C++ and Python. To get into the robotics industry, it helps to do a university degree in mechatronics engineering for robotics. Google robotics engineering degrees in your local area. Good luck!! :)
@@thuytienlives8487 can java be used ???
Nice video lovely!
Great video
is a bachelors degree in information systems useful to get into cyber security?
Some roles still require a Bachelors in IT so with it being a related field you have an advantage over a non tech applicant. It will help if you have had some undergrad classes in cybersecurity directly.
@@Ginger_Spicy_Candor but I don't have a bachelor in it but only a Bachelor degree in business. What should I do? Get a second bachelor's degree?
do you need to start at the bottom to get into cyber
Tips on getting into the field: ua-cam.com/video/FblHwG2VgcA/v-deo.html
As Canadian how is job creation in Canada
Hi! I'm not Canadian, so I don't know
I have a degree in information security, I have my security+ from CompTIA, still can't find a job. Any recommendations on where to go next?
Figure out the job role which matches your current skills then start applying for the jobs. Use linkedin
Let me know if you got it yet
Apply at amazon theyre hiring
Updates?
@@Justsayingthat I landed a job last year as a Cybersecurity Engineer for Southwest Airlines. Thanks for checking in! 🙌🤩
About to start a 2 year cyber security degree. The degree comes with A+, Security+ and Network+ certs. Can you get a cyber security job with this?
That's awesome bro
Do you happen to be in Dallas? I’m looking at a program in Dallas that’s very similar
@@MfCraze Indiana
MfCraze I live in Dallas and am looking into cyber security. I want a career change. Which program are you looking at?
@@jtc9098 same
I want to get into networking/cybersecurity. I think im going to chose to major in Computer Information Systems instead of Comp Sci because I’m more interested in networking than coding. I’m still unsure....
Im doing Networking, and im so glad I did networking instead of software. My plan is to get into cyber security. Networking is a much better path for cyber security. In networking there's coding too, so it's like an all in one degree. Would definitely recommend you to do networking.
If there is no networking degree, a generic IT degree should be heavy coding focused and should be good. Computer science is good too, as you will need to do plenty of programming.
Is it also hacking
Thanks seems i doing all these just for 1 role.
I would like to learn cyber security to backfire on any hacker I find
Wow ! I’m from NYC , but I recently moved to Utica ... hmm maybe I need to look into Utica College ?
Maybe it's a sign that you should!
It is beneficial for Programming?
What do you mean by that?
@@StereotypeBreakers In Competitive Coding.
Almost 60. Where do I start from?
Take the first step
❤
I have a bachelor’s in Criminal Justice, can I still pursue cyber security?
Yes you can
ANYONE,... safe to say if a body is struggling with Sec+ then maybe INFOSEC overall will be a huge challenge? Or would recommend skip Sec+, and instead focus on Linux and Kali instead!???
I just wonder..How fluent do I need to be to speak and listen in English? I want to learn Cybersecurity, and live in U.S now. But I am a not native speaker..so I am worried I can catch up the classes.
I’m not a native speaker either! Don’t let that stop you, there will be terminology that you don’t know but that’s normal - even for native speakers
Don’t let that hold you back, I believe in you!
@@StereotypeBreakers God bless you, and your people as well :) Thank you!

How well did you do on the TOEFL exam? If you can demonstrate English proficiency on a standardized exam you should be fine
Very informative
I'm glad you think so 😉

hi
But I don't think for freshers it is not a good skill to work upon as there are no jobs for freshers in cybersecurity! All we need to get a job in cybersecurity is a prior experience!!
You can always start building relevant skills while working in a job that will count towards experience required for the field
@@StereotypeBreakers Yes maam! That's the only option a fresher has got if he wants to get in the cybersecurity field!!
i have a bs of science but on the justice administration side. always wanted to be a cop but by me being a single mom...... yeah i need a stable job that allows me to work around my kids. being a cop is not where it's at! i need to get my feet wet!
You don’t need to go to school and get degree in order to get a job in cybersecurity! Most of the time if you have good networking or system administration experience , that would be enough . I have interviewed many candidates before with masters in cybersecurity, most of them have lack of understanding core fundamentals networking and systems. You can’t secure environment, if you don’t know how it works
Everyone is not a networking engineer. There are some roles in cyber that don’t even touch networking. Understanding how a computer works is not limited in a degree but the candidates you interviewed might have only studied policy instead of hands on labs.
@@Ginger_Spicy_Candor what are those roles that doesn’t touch networking ? The candidates we interviewed for security analyst and security engineer positions so they all required at least intermediate level of networking knowledge
ahhhhhh student loans. *eye roll*
I know , that’s the problem I am having I don’t want to get more into debt
Presentations of this type is quite frankly disingenuous- the gist of the presentation is focused on representing one institution or another. They all seem to have this characteristic.
I got my Security+, it is worthless. Keeps Comptia in business though
Worthless how?
I’m currently studying for it so any advice would help.
@@Zerimar_Official you need experience, the certification won't get you a job. Perhaps it will help you advance if you already work in IT.
@@DChiron where are you located that you haven’t gotten a job? I know many people including my father who got jobs with it?
@@Zerimar_Official Charlotte, NC. Please don't let my failed attempt discourage you.
Not one male video this chick is building her culture around hating men
It just goes to show how unprofessional they are
This video is biased and inaccurate pushing people to do a degree in cyber-security which would benefit your sponsor (the person paying you). Most people that work in cyber security have a lot of experience and security certifications. If you get a masters degree in cyber security with no experience you will start in a entry level IT position such as help-desk, regardless of qualifications. It would be ideal to get an entry level job to gain experience, then get certifications and then possibly a degree if it is right for your and your employer may potentially support this. Shame on you for this video thumbs down from me.
She’s not wrong at all. I know people who got a Masters in Cybersecurity and had hands on virtual machine environments and got entry level positions IN cyber with large companies.
