- The cybersecurity industry is booming with well paying opportunities, but it can be quite complicated and frustrating navigating the landscape of getting a job (especially your first).
Unrealistic requirements, confusing acronyms, and what to do first are all realities you will immediately crash into almost immediately.
There is opportunity for EVERYONE in cybersecurity! Whether you are 22 and entering the workforce, 38 and transitioning out of the military, 45 and wanting to stop working a job you’ve not enjoyed for years (or any other scenario that makes you unique), we can get you in the field.
In this talk, I’m going to pull back the curtain on working in the industry and help you understand:
* 10000 foot view of what working cybersecurity is actually like
* The different jobs in the industry (there is more than just ‘hacker’)
* The different industries with pros and cons for each
* How to get marketable skills (for free)
* How to find a cybersecurity job
* How to document those marketable skills on a resume for impact

Thank you for such a great video yet again, Gerry. You're right, "You as a Solution" is such a powerful phrase to consider when creating a resume. How fast, how much saved, how you made change...ALL these quantifiable elements should be your USP "bullet-points" every time.
This is one of the greatest videos for those who are new to Cyber Security. Thank you sir.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm so glad I found you! I know it's a lot of information that you are taking the time to share with us and I'm very much thankful!!!
Going back and doing some research and homework:) great stuff Doctor. Lfg.
Perfect timing! Needed this video to stay motivated. Appreciate your advice during the job hunt sir! Looking to pivot from Financial Compliance role into Cyber
Love your passion and energy!
Are you like this with everything in life...
I love, eat, breathe, cyber and helping others. It’s the best!
Amazing video! Thank you so much for all you do for the comunity!
Great content Gerald!
Thanks for creating such videos!! Can you create one on what are the basics to cover before diving into cyber security , moreover kindly recommend some good books , vulnerability assessment tools one should must explore.
Thanks for the great content , I'm currently working as an engineer with a degree in IT & working towards gaining a role as security Auditor. I'm thinking about learning the frameworks for ISO 27001 , PCI DSS
I’m a fan of Nist csf. PCI is niche but there’s a lot of compliance / audit work around it
@@SimplyCyber thanks I'm based in the UK so there is alot of focus on iso 27001
This is solely based on my personal experience, and although I may have mentioned it before, I feel it's worth repeating. I want to clarify that I'm not from the United States, which immediately sets me apart from applicants in the United Kingdom. The way they treat applicants there differs slightly due to the fewer job opportunities available compared to the larger size of the country. This situation leads to a few key points.
In my experience, breaking into the field of cyber security often requires a background in IT, preferably with a focus on networking or system administration. It's beneficial to have a bachelor's degree in a computing-related discipline since employers tend to prioritize hiring graduate IT engineers for cyber positions. I know this because I've worked in cyber security for almost a decade myself, and it seems like a typical bachelor's degree in computer science is highly valued. However, contrary to what I initially believed, it's not always a strict requirement. Additionally, I pursued a master's degree in cyber security, but I realized that it's not necessarily essential for entering the field.
During my bachelor's program, I had the advantage of pursuing Cisco Certifications, which proved to be excellent credentials. Armed with a bachelor's degree and relevant Cisco certifications, I didn't encounter significant difficulties in securing an IT position. From there, I transitioned into the field of cyber security. However, I eventually decided to return to more general IT work because I found cyber security to be extremely stressful. Ultimately, I prefer roles that offer a lower level of stress. Please note that I'm not suggesting that stress is inherently negative; it's simply a personal preference. if you possess the necessary experience, particularly with the tool sets utilized within the organization, you're off to a promising start. That concludes my main points. However, I must express a minor concern. In the IT sector, individuals can come from diverse backgrounds, often with minimal formal education. Consequently, there can be significant disparities in quality and standards, even within the same team. This situation can present certain challenges, unlike more established professions where there are specific requirements and standards to uphold. Unfortunately, that is not the case in IT. With that, I will conclude my remarks.
You are so talented Dr Gerald. I called you doctor because you are a cyber doctor lol
Thank you 😊
Thanks so much for the information. I am trying to find the resume templates but I am unable to and you have a million different things on here. There also no “hot key” option for this either.

Great Video
Great content! My question is...how do you get into cybersecurity with no experience AND being an older person (I'm 53). I feel like that's 2 strikes against most people. I recently received my Security+, CEH and Splunk certs. I'm also retired military, but it doesn't seem to do any good lol. Any advice you offer will be greatly appreciated.
There’s a ton of veteran services that help w getting into cyber . I have a lot of videos on channel that focus on former military (I’m not but they are all guest run videos) check them out. Could be some programs you can leverage. Certs, labs, and networking are critical
@@SimplyCyber What non tech degree is accepted in cybersecurity?
Hey Gerald. Lovely content as usual.
Can you please drop the links to those recommended sites. I can't find them in the description. Thanks
Francis is there a specific time mark to a resource I mentioned or all the resources I mentioned? I’d have to go back and rewatch, I was in the flow when I was speaking for the q and a, but the lecture slides were prepped.

Hi Gerry. I am just now watching the video. I currently work as an account executive in the property and casualty insurance field. I have been doing this for the last 15 yrs and want to transition into Cybersecurity. Im currently pursuing my masters in info security. Any suggestions as to how I can pivot from my current position? I am interested in GRC but also took a basics C++ course that I had to drop due to some family issues at the time. Can my current skills transfer over? Thanks for the great content by the way. So far my favorite channel!
I just released a curated playlist that answers this exact question about 30 minutes ago on the channel! Can’t link right now on mobile but it’s there.
“How do I switch jobs into cyber”( playlist title)
Gerald,
I bought your book Cybersecurity Career Master Plan. - reiner
i hope you enjoy it! We've got a lot of positive feedback from the community.
Gerald what is the website for the discord jobs ?
What’s the timestamp in the video? I’d have to review to remember
Gerald , I'm UK based - will it be possible for us to have a quick/friendly chat as I'm looking to return to the cyberworld and need some advice ? Cheers.
You can hop on discord and we can chat there, but with the sheer volume of requests I get for meetings I cant support them. Returning to the cyberworld, you've got a leg up on the experience hurdle.
im currently in confusion I have two options in front of me one I could enrol in EC-Council university or I could enrol in saintleo university for an MBA in cyber security what should I prefer guide me both these are online degree providers which have more growth cyber only or mba in cyber ?
Really hard to answer that. I’m not well versed in either.
I would like to start my career in cyber security. I'm confused on how to start.. can you help me ?
This video is a great start w excellent qa. Did you watch it through?
@@SimplyCyber yes🔥 any particular resource that i can use to start?? I'm going to complete the cybersecurity college course playlist that you have posted Apart that i don't know what to do..
Missed the live stream unfortunately due to work but would love to hear your thoughts on transitioning from a career in education (psych background) to cybersecurity. I feel like there are a lot of transferrable skills, but your insight would be great!
Replay is pretty good plan b Stacey! Def transferable skills. First thought is around security awareness focus as your background I assume helps understand changing human behavior, reinforcing best practices, etc. This would fall under GRC work. If you wanted to get more technical, soc analyst could be interesting as you may have a better understanding of the pysche of a threat actor and motivations. All this to say, no matter what role you go after your psych education bg as an asset to decoding/understanding the human side of cybersecurity which can be difficult since the tech side gets a lot of the attention. Best wishes.
@@SimplyCyber thanks so much! Your channel has helped me tremendously as I start this path.
Anyone else have trouble with the video constantly buffering every few seconds? My connection is solid.
I just saw this now and got stuck finding this resume template on your website that's exclusive for labeling your homelabs or projects, you said "it's at the bottom", it's not, unless I'm dumb or blind, I can't see it, last resource says "NewbieContest Training"
Nevermind, found them through your discord. Got them downloaded, thanks!
thanks. ill update the description with the resume and happy you found it.
amazing ! can we get that discord link (cyber jobs hunting)
