Learn cybersecurity with my $20 class | Jamison Mettille posted on the topic | LinkedIn (2024)

Everyone wants a job in cybersecurity but not everybody is willing to put in the time to get one.Getting credible experience makes a huge difference and doing these “cyber programs” and memorizing answers on a test will only get you so far. The crazy job requirements aside for just a moment, I’ve spoke with countless individuals who want to work in cybersecurity but aren’t willing to put the time into learning the fundamentals!! Work those IT Helpdesk jobs! We all start somewhere and starting in an Entry Level SOC role is not realistic without knowing the basics of IT. The practical experience will trump theory everyday and I was one of those who wanted to skip right to the good stuff! Now being in the position I am through practical growth and experience, I am managing service & security for a team and a company where I would otherwise be helpless without this prior knowledge. It is no wonder job recruiters so often overlook potential candidates as I’m coming to witness through my own hiring process why that is. I was not to good for my Tech Support 1 position, and I’m very thankful for the current journey I am on. I ask for those of you reading this and looking to break into cybersecurity,Time will lead to experience,Experience will lead to Compensation.We have to start somewhere, and I believe we have to start facing the hard truths! ⭐️

Practical experience will trump theory any day of the week. I highly recommend taking part in this course. Antisyphon Training is legit and nothing beats the training and knowledge John Strand and his team offer.Certifications are great, but it’s time to get your feet wet. Having taken this course myself, anyone looking to get into cybersecurity or those looking to expand their experience, check it out.For instance, through the hiring process where I’m looking for talent, certifications are great but when you mix them with practical experience it stands to make a big difference through the selection process.
