Hi, Ben. Thanks so much for sharing your insights into this role. I have obtained Net+ Security+ and Google Cybersecurity. I am still having issues landing my first role in cybersecurity. I am based in California and it's competitive over here. Would you mind go over my resumes/projects and provide feedback?
Great video, do you mentor?
In actually an snhu cybersecurity student currently pursuing my bachelors degree
Can you suggest some free certifications? These certifications are not ideal for a broke uni student like myself.
Interesting insights! What are some challenges you faced starting out in cybersecurity?
I wanna do cyber security, but it's hard tryna figure out a good school to attend! I just wanna find a program that's all! I did look into Google, but I'm skeptical about it.
WGU
USF boot camp cybersecurity
The google cybersecurity professional certificate actually does cover a variety of network topics. Its a know a little of everything concepts with the main focus being the security aspect of the IT fundamentals.
I just passed the sec+ exam with the help of your video I appreciate it. Im still a little lost on which domain path I’ll go for. 😅
Congrats man! I’m still in the process of figuring that out too, my advice would to just learn more about each and find out which you enjoy most and laser in on it.
I would suggest to get the CCNA, CySA+, and the AWS Solutions Architect over the Net+ and cloud practioner...doing them is fine but you may need more advanced versions for Cyber
I agree those certs would be the next step, the certs mentioned in the video were meant to be for those looking to get started in cyber
would this work for comptia a+
Yes
What about degree , is it necessary or useful? If so what type degree
It's useful...check out WGU Cybersecurity Batchelor Degree
My bachelors degree definitely helped me
Just starting to go through your topic and it would helpful
i read the pdf of 701 above 1000 pages and now i want to start working on qcm , is this enough ? , and i heard that some cetificate repeats questions is this same with security+
Only thing SEC+ does is introduce you to the theory and foundations necessary so that you can apply properly towards homelabs, work, and move on to more advanced certifications. If you want a more in depth security+ education, add the certmaster labs.
I agree, it’s a theoretical exam and reinforcing that knowledge with hands on labs is great
Hey Ben, I've been using your videos to help me pass Sec+ (I take the test tomorrow) and Ironically I just came across the video you made going through the Apple interview process. I have my interview in 4 days and I wanted to ask you a couple questions what's the best way I could get in touch.
Hey feel free to reach out to me via Instagram DM! @cyberwithben
Did u pass?
thanks for this <3
Ben, how do I contact you for help? 😭
What did you need help with?
@@BenTruong Honestly everything. From scratch to landing a cybersecurity job. I'm currently taking Google Cyber and have been looking into boot camps but they're so expensive. Internships are difficult to get into when you're no longer a student. I guess I need guidance on my next steps.
Thanks for the tips!
Please where can I get past questions and answers
Is Darril Gibson get certified get ahead 601 still any good in 2024?
If I just practice Professor Messor's practice exams do you think I will be good enough for the Sec+ exam??
Depends on your background but probably not. There’s so many topics that aren’t covered by just practice tedts
That ChatGPT prompt is killer. Thanks dude!
Why get a Tesla if you don’t get that feature? That’s one of the main perks ha
So you're saying that we need to get certifications first?
Depends on your background, but yes
you have nice skin, good vid!
Thanks!
Great video! I will be taking the test in about a month after finishing my 9 month cybersecurity bootcamp. Very informative and thank you for your resources and info to give me more confidence in my knowledge and skills.
Udemy Tests are now $95...
So glad I found this!
What prompt did you use to set up ChatGPT as a tutor?
It’s in my notes!
So is it safe to assume that certifications are actually worth something?
Most definitely
Thank you 🙏
Niihau!
Can you share the cloud resources? I’m trying to get into IT stuff but I have no idea where to start. I’m also starting off with Google courses.
Read the highlights of the Google IT Support Certificate if you're comfortable to finish it quickly then take the CompTIA A+ From there you will have a better view on which way to go..... specialization
Some.of these ppl are just after passing certificate and comes out to brag
I'm truly struggling trying to find an internship
Thank you for sharing. I want to learn cyber security. I hope I can get entry level jobs.
this guy passing exams left and right like nothing
Solid
thank you for sharing this. Can you share any projects you've done?
ive built a home lab, but definitely look online for more ideas!
Here s an advice my dad gave me when I took the ITF+. And that look at the answers before you look at the question. You get an idea what the question is by the answers
Its not a question if it's worth it or not. There are some jobs like cybersecurity that does need it because it's DoD compliant. A lot of networking jobs crosses over with security compliance. So yes, you do need it
Studied for 3 days and passed with a 750. I am so happy
I just finished my google cert, I came here to see which test to buy. I'm going to take the 601 since I've already studied for it. I also had another help desk job interview, wish me luck guys.
Did you get the job?
I wish tesla could add A.I. vis software updates.. fsd should be complete bythen
Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!
I am 20 In college about to graduate with my cybersecurity associates degree and all of your videos have been so helpful and I am looking forward to working in this field and resembling your lifestyle.
So just 6 minutes of yappin great i could of just read it on Google website
