I’m new to this community. I’m almost done with my bachelors degree in cybersecurity. And I don’t know where to start looking for jobs or internships. I’m also active duty as a BMET.
Your active duty in military- I would start within that institution to see if there are some opportunities available in your cybersecurity unit - see if you can volunteer or get mentorship from someone in the field
@@ne3music537 I don’t have any of the certificates. I have vouchers to take them but I haven’t taken any of the certs. That would be my plan when I finish the degree
Welcome to the community! That's great progress with your degree in cybersecurity. Consider checking out job boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, or Glassdoor for cybersecurity roles. Your active duty experience can also be a valuable asset. Best of luck with your job search and internship hunt!
@@ne3music537 my current job now is Biomedical Equipment Technician . I’m not part of the IT department. And certain thing I need a higher level of clearance
Congratulations Kristi you really inspired me today because I’m kinda shy if I don’t know you well. But I must get out of this mindset 🎉in order to be successful in this industry!

Hi is there any way to work in tech part time? I have a full time in-person job I’m committed to for the next year for both personal and professional reasons (if I left now, it would be a disaster for the people depending on me and it’s funding at risk). If I planned to leave next year May, that would give appropriate time to transition the role to someone else. However, I am really eager to get into tech sales right now for experience and compensation, instead of waiting a whole year. I prefer tech sales, but I’m open to other fields if that can’t be done part time. Thank you.
Tech companies don’t offer “part-time jobs, but there are remote jobs in tech where you only work for a few hours a day and still have a 6 figure career! QA Engineering is one and is in very high demand! I recommend this bootcamp, because they have self paced AI-enhanced courses (DevOps Engineers & QA Engineers aka SDET)!!

@techisthenewblack Cyrus you made an interesting point in respect of salesforce courses. Besides the bootcamp did you complete a salesforce cert as undeniably they are a big organisation.

If you don't know how to get into tech in 2024, then you shouldn't be in tech. The field is already crowded with people who just want the salary and no passion.
It’s not crowded at all if you working in the right sectors
nothing wrong with wanting big salary
You’re a gatekeeper
That’s hate 😂😂😂
Using that logic, I hope you don’t drive..
@techisthenewblack Cyrus you made an interesting point in respect of salesforce courses. Besides the bootcamp did you complete a salesforce cert as undeniably they are a big organisation.
Hey! I only did Sales Engineering bootcamp in Careerist.
Thats what I thought brother.
