How I Got a Cyber Security Job With No Experience in 2024
How I Got a Cyber Security Job With No Experience in 2024
Can you get an entry level job in Cyber Security without having experience in 2024? The entry level job market in Cyber Security is extremely challenging right now. Before I got hired as a SOC analyst I had to learn a lot of things on my own, and I want to share my experience through the whole process from college graduate to Cyber Security…

Bro thanks a lot. I was losing hope until I watched this video.
Being willing to relocate sounds great on paper but in this economy even at the entry level jobs it won't be enough to cover the 550 (6.6k a year) a month rent costs + expense's and insurances. And most big companies are operating in large city where 550 is a minimum if you are lucky enough.
I am not saying what this YouTuber is relaying in this video is false. but where and in what reality is a company hiring someone with zero experience and no college degree? If he knows someone who got him the job then sure I can believe this. but someone with no college degree and no experience getting this type of job when there are so many other candidates that are more qualified than him really makes me suspicious of this content. I am not saying what he did is impossible, especially the number of applications of job positing he applied to but again it is hard to believe with no degree and no experience unless he knows someone even with a comptia security + certification.
To me it seems that redditors are just uptight
Relatable, I had a years experience in IT half of that was penetration testing in a junior position. The firm I was working for shut down and laid off all the employees and I haven’t been able to land a job in IT since. Focusing on Certs now and improving my CV
cyber is such a broad field, pentesting, blue team, red team, purple team, networking, IT, etc. I'm an engineer well into my career but I dabble with pentesting because its fun. I could never work in a soc analyst job because I would get bored. But I would love being on a purple team or even GRC team. Just gotta read up, learn, dabble with hackathons and online learning and see what you like. The entry IT tip isn't terrible, it'll give you some income while you can talk to the security people and learn from them.
i havent went to school but i use tryhackme and hackthebox
Which school did you got to?
Apply to 1000+ is good but making sure your resume has key words for the position is the most important
Would cyber experience in the military help to get hired in the civilian world?
I am switching from being a Mernstack Developer to a SOC Analyst. Man I gotta say it's tough. Where are all the jobs that I've heard so much about?
what laptop should i take to begin my career in cybersecurity? is it mac or win. thank you for sharing
This video didn’t really help . You contradicted yourself a lot in the same video
Well I applied to UPS as a package handler while doing volunteer work and picking up certs. UPS has a huge IT department and now I'm in helpdesk. Sometimes you have to have a humble start.

Bro, the 3 out of 100 is so realistic. Thank you for not sugar coating anything
hi pls can assist me in landing a soc analyst job
What if you don’t have money for a comptia security+
Thanks for your honesty
Just finished my masters the other day gang and not gonna lie your video is pure gold. I appreciate the advise 🙏
The answer is no. I have a 4 year degree in cybersecurity and applied for over 1,000 jobs only to hear offers from IT positions. I begrudgingly took an IT job to pay the bills and am unhappy working in IT instead of cybersecurity. Seriously, why did I get a degree in a field that isn’t entry level/a 4 year degree isn’t good enough. I wish I would’ve been warned about this in hs/college. Hate my life and wish I was in cyber fr. Also I think this guy is lying because I have a 4 year degree and don’t even get interviews when I apply for “entry level cybersecurity” jobs…
@blake white which one has advantage to put profile picture or not on cv ?
I really want to land an entry-level cybersecurity job. Any tip or link I should know about or if anyone company is currently hiring. Please 🙏 🙏
The only skill you need is knowing how to bullshit people. Simple as that! All of the other stuff is fluff.
can you show us how your resume was set up?
I’m getting out of the navy in 20 days and I have no background in this field. But I want it.
I need to know how to find an error 401
Idk how It happened with me but I applied to 1 job and I got that, I didn’t had any experience at that time right now I have 8 months of experience working as Security Analyst.
How long did it take you to complete the google coursera certificate?
I graduated with a computer engineering degree. Worked a year as a software engineer (creating tools to filter bots).
Can i get a cybersecurity job without any certificates?
Bla bla bla bla – no applicable nfomation , bla bla bla

Candidate*
As a SOC Analyst or generally in the blue team field you should have tagged
– Cyberdefenders
– LetsDefend
– blue team labs online
as well, these are great resources specializing only in the defensive trainings
