My guy lost WEIGHT good for you bro!!!
I'm a truck driver and I landed an entry level IT job, $58k. I only have the google IT cert. If you wanna do it, you just gotta go for it. This channel has helped me tremendously. Thank you
Hey there, any tips on how to land the job? Keyword searches for jobs or anything similar?
That's amazing! Congrats ! How did you do that ? What did you study ?

Thanks I’ve been Trucking’s for 6 years and I’m looking into this now too. Thanks
Like you said, the answer will always be 'yes' for IT jobs. Good timing on this video, I just started a new video series telling my tech career story; might help someone out.
Forget about entry level jobs. Companies are looking for senior employees for 95% of the positions
junior hiring freezes last about 16 months at max, if markets are really bad. So if someone starts getting certs, hobby projects etc right now, they can easily score a junior at the end of 2024 or early 25. Also saying "few" jobs is relative. In academia you have thousands of people applying for a single position, in tech a 5-8% chance of being hired is considered abysmal.
@@onion-lo8bnis age a barrier if someone want to start a career at 40
@@rainbowlife5837 I think IT is the most inclusive age-wise. You prolly couldn't land a fresh sales position with 0 experience over 40, in IT noone cares, if you have projects to show
Fr man. I graduated in December and got the Sec+ and am struggling to find legit entry level jobs
@ThatGuyAlon you got the sec+ without any experience?
I'm trying to get into entry level defense to find a help desk position.
Im getting thr 360 run-around by the ITmanagers at my workplace, some hardware; some software devs etc.
I'm also trying to avoid linux as much as possible.
Are there any books or stuff for self teaching? Currently I have a Comptia security+ exam guide as an introduction book. I don't think I will be taking that exam in the near future.
I don't have a spare machine to run anything so please keep it simple. Cost of books isn't an issue.
I do have access to the ISC2 materials if needed.
I was laid off in August of '22 from an MSP, I worked there for about 8 month's. The job before that I worked for was 14+ years. I have been out of work for over a year now. My unemployment money is gone, I am living on my mom's retirement. I was the main provider for the family. I can't even get work at the local fast food locations in my area. I have been learning about tech since 1980's starting with DOS 5.0. My first memory of tech support was I helped someone on AOL to get there zip drive up and running. I have reached out to my work friends and recruitment with absolutely no luck. I just want to do computer support to make people happy and support my family.
If you haven't yet, try public sector all types of government or medical like hospitals and urgent care orgs for IT spots.
This is crazy to me. I work in the government sector and we are ALWAYS looking for people. My job can't keep anyone longer than a year becuase the public sector pays so much better.
Once these guys get their clearance, certs, and government experience, they're gone. I suggest everyone look into the government sector if they're struggling. Yea, the beginning pay sucks (great benefits tho') 😢but you will be able write your own ticket. That's why I'm making the switch.
@@mistahrobb963 second this.
@@mistahrobb963 Don't they often require degrees in government?
@@Words-of-encouragement.-. Yes and no. There's no concrete answer. A lot of the guys I work with are prior service, and don't have degrees, but years of experience and can pass "the test." I wish I could remember the name of test that gives you a certification identifier. Most management positions do require a degree, but if you go to USAJOBS.gov and look past the "Prefered Requirements" you may notice most of the positions would trade a degree for years of experience and certifications.
I have a ccna and a security plus. I feel like I got lucky that my first job out of school is going to be an engineering position that is also remote.
I love that shirt!!! 😂😂
How come alot of people in IT say cybersecurity isnt in demand except for senior roles
video request , staying in shape with an inactive job like technology. I noticed you lost a lot of weight. I'd love to see the perspective from someone in the tech industry.
How can I learn more information on breaking into a career listed such as System Admin?
if youre like me - junior/entry seeker trying to get a chance - youll see jobs that say posted "1 hour ago" or something like that with 7 applicants alrdy. then you look 2 hours later and it's over 100 applicants.
This man really does cool things 💪
Is it possible for people in IT doing system architecture to make $150-$200 an hour?
i have a master degree in AI and Complex networks, i didn't get a job tell now, more than 6 months of searching
dont put masters on your resume, try that
How do you know you have chosen the right spot in Cybersecurity/IT?
Cyber will never not be relevant, the important question is do you enjoy it and can you make a living from it
Depends on what you mean by "the right spot." Are you trying to ask if that career path is for you? Or if the current thing you're learning will give you a solid job in that field? It varies person to person when finding what's right for you. Here's a few questions you could ask yourself to better understand if that job will be suited for you: Do you see yourself sitting in front of a computer hours at a time? Do you prefer hardware or software? What motivates you to go into that career path? What do you like about that job? Think a few years ahead, will that job still be relevant or indemand? There's a lot of questions you could ask yourself to figure out if IT is for you. But no one can answer for you, it's something you need to figure out for yourself. Just don't stress about it and do what you think is interesting or worth your time. Although do some research about that job too, it'll help a lot when knowing what you need to learn to get an entry level position in that category of IT. I recommend looking at U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS and checking out the many jobs out there, that way you could see the pay, hiring rates, what the job is about, and all of that fun stuff. Sorry if it's not much help.😅
@@airborneosborne4215 I'm trying to get into Cyber and stuck in help desk style roles. Or so-called cyber roles but help desk roles in disguise
@@360snipesgood insight, thanks dameatus
You try every aspect of it.
Love the shirt!
Thank you Todd!
@@Itcareerquestions Likewise! All is well on my end at the moment. Also... "I am the walrus?"
Do you have to go to school to become an IT or can you study for certs and do it on your own?
A lot of people in IT are self-taught. You don't necessarily need to go to college or school to learn IT, but it may help. I would check your local community college to see if they offer IT training. I would avoid for-profit schools and bootcamps as they're usually not a good value; that's not to say the training and instruction is bad, but for the cost of a lot of those schools, I'd say its not worth it.
The more you can learn on your own, the better. I think it mainly comes down to how well you can learn on your own vs needing a structured learning environment. A lot of people do a bit of both.
Anyone possible know any I T jobs that require a lot of physical movement? I want to get into I T but I also don’t want to be sitting at a desk all day.
The IT guy at my job is a one man show and if nothing else is always moving computers and monitors etc from desks to desks, so there's that lol
Its not specifically IT, but I know the structured cable installers do a fair amount of movement running data cables from data closets to work stations.
I work in K-12 IT as an IT tech and we have a good amount of walking back and forth campus especially right before summer break ends and about a month after school starts. Those are the busiest and most insane days for us in IT.
This is all a bit of exaggeration: but it seems that everyone forgets how to use their computer or SMART Board so you have to more or less meet with each teacher in their room to get their stuff hooked up and functional. It can get frustrating at times because you're walking down the hall and a teacher stops you for "something really quick" but then the principal needs you urgently because she can't print a report that she has to submit when it could be emailed, but you already scheduled a time with the teacher on the opposite side of campus and a new teacher that no one told you was hired comes up to you and tells you she needs training on how to use the classroom technology but another teacher wants you to magically move a 150 lb SMART IFP to the opposite corner of the room for some "innovative" teaching thing she read about in some teacher blog.... Oh and the teacher in room 5 was moved to room 20 and no one told you about that change. And that's just 1 school. There are times where I barely have time to sit for more than a few minutes because there's always something going on.
But most IT jobs involve sitting at a desk. Technician roles usually involve moving around and transporting equipment but it all depends on the job at your specific place.
Rule of thumb. The more abstract the subject of the field is, the more difficult it is to learn. Therefore less folks succeed at it. Therefore there is more demand for that position. Sys admin, pen testing = least abstract. Cloud and data sci = more abstract.
Should I go to school for IT or just get certs on IT? For entry level and work my way up?
I've been looking at everything the past few months to answer the same question you are asking. First off, job market is so bad it seems like everyone needs a degree even for entry level now except for some depending on the field. Now I'm not saying you can't get into it by doing these other ways people talk about like certs or bootcamps. From what I have learned if anything is that even if you get into it, depending on the roles/positions you want to move into with higher pay increase will only leave you with no choice but to get a degree. I'm not saying it. I'm not saying I'm right or wrong, but I'm just sharing what I've learned from reading forum/Reddit/RUclips and seeing a few friends in the industry with a degree
These are some of the jobs that we're going to see the most demanding 2024.. No jobs were mentioned
Hi
Can you please suggest work from Home jobs or which course is best to do jobs in home
Its for house wives who can't go outside from home even though they are graduate they have intrest to earn money but they can't
There is a no proper or trusted RUclips channel or links that guided us all are fake can you make video about this please
How do you rate Data science vs IT management ? I am trying to choose what my master focus will be.
Also is data science a good entrance into ML and AI? I know its kind of related.
