Unixguy, On behalf of all juniors, entry level, and learners of cybersecurity i would like to exhibit the highest gratitude for all your help. The day i break into this field, i will remember that you played a major part of my career journey. Thank you, buddy.
2:45 thank you for highlighting specific things on the resume that can be used to stand out. His answer to the previous question was more abstract and hard to capture in 6 seconds
Thank you. I’ve been looking for this kind of advice. I have A+ Net+ Sec+ and CySA+, worked on many projects but haven’t been lucky even getting a cybersecurity interview for over 2 years now. I’m coming from years of customer service so this video truly helps with my resume structure
you are off to a great start with the certs and customer service experience! I think it’s time to upskill and do more advanced training from this video: ruclips.net/video/wLgkX6F3ZDA/видео.html
That was concise and exactly what I needed. As a high school teacher transitioning into cybersecurity, I felt like the video was made specifically for me. It was truly motivating and inspiring. Thank you very much!
Again and again you continue to impress with the quality of your content. Happy i stumbled upon your channel a few months ago. Following your guidance. Grinding 💪
Thank you so much for this -- as a career changer moving towards a GRC role, I've been trying to make sure my resume will be up to par by the time I'm ready to search for jobs. This interview was so so helpful!!
This was very informative. Thank you so much unix guy. 🙏 Thank you for bringing a guest on to talk about his experiences. It really helps to hear from multiple professionals in the field.
Great video! I've been a fan of your content for years, and it’s always so helpful. As someone transitioning into Cyber Security, I find it challenging to answer questions like, 'Why do you want to join this company?' Honestly, I’m passionate about working in Cyber Security, so I’m open to any company that offers me a chance to grow and learn. Focusing on just one company could mean missing out on other great opportunities that might suit me as a beginner. So I'm generally open to anyone. I’ve applied to over 100 companies here in Australia without hearing back, so I wonder if I’m not approaching that question the right way. Anyone else in the same boat? Maybe I just need to refine my answers. Thanks again for sharing such valuable insights!
I'm on the other side of the pacific, with a similar concern. I can answer what I think I'd like to pursue in the next couple decades, but interest in the company and where I expect to be in the next couple to 5 years depends on the employee development of said org. How do you approach this with honesty without seeming like an opportunist?
I answer about my interest in the role and how it will enable me to learn and grow! it could be your resume/CV or just you need to do more training. Follow this roadmap: ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.htmlsi=fcJI95zHNfMvIWNz

Great video. Very specific and useful tips. I have used your resume template to think about my skills and education and restructure it. It reads so much clearer now. A recruiter will not have to hunt for relevant info. Thanks!
Wonderful video You are actually building confidence in me just posting necessary video to make career in cyber security As of now i am working as python developer switching to cyber security job(going through your road map). Thank you so much sir for your content....

Great stuff, guys. (I have a question at the end) Really appreciate you emphasising the importance of knowing exactly which area of cyber we should be looking to specialise in. I’m about a year into my journey and will be testing the waters in about a year once I have completed a couple more certs and done a few projects of my own. One thing I would say is that as I learn about the various areas of CS whether it be Network, IAM, Cloud or Endpoint, I find them all really fascinating in their own ways. I understand as a recruiter that you want to see me completely obsessed with say Cloud security, and that if you were in need of someone like that, I would stand a better chance over someone who wasn’t sure which direction they wanted to go. Without really getting your hands dirty in a particular discipline, it’s hard to really commit fully to one specific area as someone looking to move into CS in their late 30s. I guess if I had a question it would be; Should I just pick which one I find most interesting and go all in even if it may take a bit longer to land that perfect position?
My recommendation is to first approach things from a generalist perspective and aim to have a broad base of knowledge. I explained it all in this video: ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.html
As somebody who is getting into cybersec (fingers crossed finishing uni next year!), I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for not being your average techbro and actually giving us so much useful information man
I have a video titled fastest way to become ethical hacker, follow that No need to work for free, for my 6-months plan and when you finish learn ethical hacking and dive deeper there in your own time
A thank you to Paul for his very practical advice. I wonder how one could tactfully explain interest in a specific role as a foundational step towards a long term career specialization, especially as an entry position. How would one toe that line of, I'm interested in mastering the role but ultimately will want to continue growing, especially given the current market and the fewer opportunities available to candidates more reliant on on-the-job training. Is it just expected from entry roles? Should one ask and talk about it directly, as in promotion or turn over? Or avoid the topic as much as possible?
that’s pretty normal and common, you express your interest in the role but also express your interest in continuing to learn and grow (which is what most companies want to hear)
Wow sir, this video very very good! 🙏 You explain all things so simple, my brain fully open now. Before I not understand cyber security, but after watching, everything is clear like crystal. 💻🔥 You are real guru ji! Thank you so much sir, I will share this with all my friends and family, now we all become cyber security experts! Blessings to you always sir!
A lot of people just have really bad resumes and no interviewing skills. Especially for the younger guys out there you just gotta rep it out practice practice practice soon enough you’ll really impress a hiring manager.
Im glad that the guy in the video doesnt use ATS I can respect that about him. Though it's really naive to think that people have a desire to join a company with a firm reasoning. Like people can make up lies about why they would want to join a company and even invent something that would cause you to hire them.
we’re not naiive. that’s not what we said. I explained that if someone can’t articulate their answers properly it jusr shows that the person has poor communication skills..

Great vídeo. I'm from Brazil, and i'm trying to move from HelpDesk ( 1 year experience ) to Cybersecurity into my own company, studying for CCST right now. What do you think about that certification? Also, i think my communications skills are kinda good to be honest, at least i only have to worry about the technical ones.
@@UnixGuy I've saw that video already haha. Google seems good, but i don't have much time to study for it in 2 weeks and it's expensive here in Brazil. I work 6-1 ( 6 days on work, 1 day off ) and i only study on weekends, i'm looking for something to at least get a junior role to become more practical
My course grcmastery.com teaches you GRC skills that jobs are asking for. There is a bonus at the end with a resume template. Everything you need about Interviews is in my youtube videos what you need is practical skills not interview ‘hacks’. Do the course to upgrade your skills and that will reflect positively in interviews because you’ll know your stuff and be able to speak in confidence
Love your videos , I also wanna switch to cyber security and I’m thinking about to get a start at the compTIA certs, starting with A+ , network+ and then sec+ Do you think it’s a good way to start in and also the certs itself good to have for job interviews ?
Should I try to get my A+? Every job I’ve seen for help desk are requiring associates degree or at least have experience. I’m just trying to break into IT while I finish my associates degree.
it’s not all about communication skills but they’re fundamental to most jobs. Working in customer service can really help, also going out/socialising/hobbies etc can help
Thank you so much! So, I am interested in GRC and AI. And just listening to this and other videos, It seems I have been doing GRC without realizing it. I think I need help with the frameworks I’m guessing. I also forgot about a cert I obtained GRCP back in 2019. Please help!? lol
No such thing as guaranteed no rejection, but at the end of the video I linked up this video that has a cover letter example: ruclips.net/video/2RfwwlbQecs/видео.html
not necessarily. one pager is for a fresh grad who doesn’t have any experience, 2-3 is fine as long as it’s not fluff and is to the point with relevant experience/training
I am currently looking to get into digital forensics that’s like my thing, but I have no experience so I’m trying to figure out the most entry-level job I can apply for to get my foot in the door to get the knowledge I need and the experience I need
Last year I did CCNA and cybersecurity, this year I got cybersecurity internship with a big telecommunications company currently am doing professional cloud security engineer course...can I get an entry job without a degree? many employers are asking for a degree in computer science or In IT apart from online certificates
Whats the importance of LinkedIn. Its turning into a fancier Facebook. What should someone do if they are not all about posting stuff online is there any other way

Hey I need your help! I have been worked as software engineer for 3 years in different company, now I'm transitioning to Cybersecurity. I'm confused that how my resume should look. Can you give me a little tips that how should I show my Cybersecurity skills, should I remove my Software engineer experience?
your resume won’t be the issue, the lack of skills is the main issue. Having software engineering background is great and will be an asset but you’ll still need to learn and train from scratch. Follow this: ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.html

I basically never passed in maths. But I am a good learner and I was excellent in other subjects. I am very very very poor in maths so should be pursuing a career in cybersecurity if maths is the only thing I am concerned about. Please reply.
I have recently completed my A Levels in Bangladesh. I am planning to go to Australia for university. The thing is I want a career in cybersecurity, should I go for a Bachelors Degree of Computer Science or Cybersecurity?
@@UnixGuy could I do computer science degree then do cybersecurity certifications to get into cybersecurity jobs? I heard that cs degrees are way more valuable than cybersecurity degrees plus widens up career choices
@@sayednihon6997 yes, many people get into Cyber Security with CS degrees. But if you only want to do Cybersec then go for a Cybersec degree. You will learn far more relevant knowledge there.
I think its good to research about the job market in Australia. Yes you are insights are right though. Computer Science covers a lot about system than Cyb sec. I studied in the UK. In the UK , it was pretty hard to land a job as most jobs require SC ( Security Clearance) - if you lived in the UK for 5 or more years, then only you can acquire SC clearance. For an international student, it is quite hard both the private and govt jobs need some kind of prerequisties like this . And most of the time recruiters ghosted me because I need sponsorship. So I will suggest you to look for job market and choose a wise decision.
@UnixGuy hey, I have got into Rogers cybersecurity catalyst program that prepares one for SANS GFACT and GSEC certifications. But the fee is about CAN $17k. My plan is to get into GRC domain in Aviation as I progress into cybersecurity. Is this a good pathway or is anything else more affordable and better to get there?
This is WAAAY overpriced, please don’t do that program. There is no such thing as ‘GRC in aviation’. GRC is GRC, doesn’t matter whether it’s in aviation or not. Follow this roadmap, you can get it all done for less than $2000 USD: ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.htmlsi=2-Mcjiv4J28Eyy8a For GRC do GRC Mastery: ruclips.net/video/C6IgksBpMF4/видео.htmlsi=RLU-TU7VJj1KqoPg you don’t need other GRC courses, once you finish GRC Mastery just continue with the roadmap above to gain more general cyber knowledge.

Hello Unix I am in my very beginning in learning pentest/ethical hacking Wanna ask Now I am watching professer messer N+ videos then I will use bandit and tcm linux 101 to know linux then I will go to pjpt certificate will I have a chance of getting a job after the pjpt even with low salary so that I can collect money to get the pnpt or oscp
There are way less entry level pentesting jobs out there, you will probabky need OSCP to get in. Follow my ethical hacker roadmap. Alternatively, you can try and become a generalist first by following this roadmap: ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.htmlsi=3ZWJGGJ_Ol01DyNj
@@UnixGuy @UnixGuy Is becoming a generalist beginner friendly like can I get an entry level job with the generalist so that I can get a job as soon as possible after completing the road and then collect some money for the oscp
@@Mohdhq77 this is a bad plan. ‘collect money for OSCP’ is a bad plan. You can get any job now (not in cyber) to ‘collect money’, we all had to work random jobs and save up. Watch the videos
@@UnixGuy so what can I do because I am little bit lost now should I continue learn the penteration testing or should I become a generalist then become a pentration testing
I completed my bachelors in computer but due to lack of knowledge and skills I was ynable to land a job in IT and working in supermarket since last 10 years. Now I started to learn CS as I’m much more interested in it.
@@UnixGuy thanks bro for the video, it really help a lot right now, I have joined a institution in India and learning the networking topic in practical theory based thing is already done, linux command also done.

Google seems good, but i don't have much time to study for it in 2 weeks and it's expensive here in Brazil.

Do your course helps with resumes and how to interview for a cybersecurity job??
My course grcmastery.com teaches you GRC skills that jobs are asking for. There is a bonus at the end with a resume template. Everything you need about Interviews is in my youtube videos
what you need is practical skills not interview ‘hacks’. Do the course to upgrade your skills and that will reflect positively in interviews because you’ll know your stuff and be able to speak in confidence
@@UnixGuy ok thanks! Yea I just was asking like after finish course just want to know how to Answer questions the right way Thanks
Love your videos , I also wanna switch to cyber security and I’m thinking about to get a start at the compTIA certs, starting with A+ , network+ and then sec+
Do you think it’s a good way to start in and also the certs itself good to have for job interviews ?
this is the pathway that I recommend you follow:
ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.html
Should I try to get my A+? Every job I’ve seen for help desk are requiring associates degree or at least have experience. I’m just trying to break into IT while I finish my associates degree.
A+ is way overpriced, you dont need it to be able to do tech support. Best to follow this and learn :

@@UnixGuy thank you!
If it's all about communications, how to improve it?
it’s not all about communication skills but they’re fundamental to most jobs. Working in customer service can really help, also going out/socialising/hobbies etc can help
I love your videos
thank you 🙏🏻
Can the Capstone project in your grc course be used as work experience
I would add it under a section called ‘practical projects’ , not as experience :) but it is vauable knowledge that you can speak about in interviews
Thank you so much! So, I am interested in GRC and AI. And just listening to this and other videos, It seems I have been doing GRC without realizing it. I think I need help with the frameworks I’m guessing. I also forgot about a cert I obtained GRCP back in 2019.
Please help!? lol
For GRC this is the only course that you need:

@@UnixGuy Thanks, I’ll check it out! I’ve gain a new coach in GRC. Lastly, it’s refreshing to know this is the only thing I need to learn.
Can you share examples of cover letters that don’t result in immediate rejection?
No such thing as guaranteed no rejection, but at the end of the video I linked up this video that has a cover letter example:

Hi Unix guy. Would you be doing any promotions on your course any rime soon?
Hi Francis, no we dont do promotions, course cost will remain fixed to keep it fair for those who invested in it :)
The greatest video.

2nd or 3rd page? Isn't it best practice to have a 1 pager?
not necessarily. one pager is for a fresh grad who doesn’t have any experience, 2-3 is fine as long as it’s not fluff and is to the point with relevant experience/training

Whats the importance of LinkedIn. Its turning into a fancier Facebook. What should someone do if they are not all about posting stuff online is there any other way

Hey I need your help!
I have been worked as software engineer for 3 years in different company, now I'm transitioning to Cybersecurity. I'm confused that how my resume should look. Can you give me a little tips that how should I show my Cybersecurity skills, should I remove my Software engineer experience?
your resume won’t be the issue, the lack of skills is the main issue.
Having software engineering background is great and will be an asset but you’ll still need to learn and train from scratch. Follow this:

Hello Sir. I am interested in seeking guidance for my career development and would like to schedule a consultation with you. Could you please let me know the steps for booking an appointment and any additional details I should be aware of?

i dont do paid consultations at the moment, everything is in the videos
I basically never passed in maths.
But I am a good learner and I was excellent in other subjects.
I am very very very poor in maths so should be pursuing a career in cybersecurity if maths is the only thing I am concerned about.
Please reply.
maths not required
@@UnixGuy Thank you very much.
@UnixGuy ... you will definitely live long. Thanks for sharing relevant information always ❤. If you agree with me show 👍
thanks for your kind words
Very good! :)

I have recently completed my A Levels in Bangladesh. I am planning to go to Australia for university. The thing is I want a career in cybersecurity, should I go for a Bachelors Degree of Computer Science or Cybersecurity?
cyber security
@@UnixGuy could I do computer science degree then do cybersecurity certifications to get into cybersecurity jobs? I heard that cs degrees are way more valuable than cybersecurity degrees plus widens up career choices
@@sayednihon6997 yes, many people get into Cyber Security with CS degrees. But if you only want to do Cybersec then go for a Cybersec degree. You will learn far more relevant knowledge there.
I think its good to research about the job market in Australia. Yes you are insights are right though. Computer Science covers a lot about system than Cyb sec. I studied in the UK. In the UK , it was pretty hard to land a job as most jobs require SC ( Security Clearance) - if you lived in the UK for 5 or more years, then only you can acquire SC clearance. For an international student, it is quite hard both the private and govt jobs need some kind of prerequisties like this . And most of the time recruiters ghosted me because I need sponsorship. So I will suggest you to look for job market and choose a wise decision.
Almost 20 years into my career, I can’t think of a job I got without knowing someone at the company first either
thats interesting! im the opposite, all my jobs are via cold applying
Great video!! Thank you! From his reaction I think you should have asked for more money :))
haha I think you might be right 🥲

@UnixGuy hey, I have got into Rogers cybersecurity catalyst program that prepares one for SANS GFACT and GSEC certifications. But the fee is about CAN $17k. My plan is to get into GRC domain in Aviation as I progress into cybersecurity. Is this a good pathway or is anything else more affordable and better to get there?
This is WAAAY overpriced, please don’t do that program. There is no such thing as ‘GRC in aviation’. GRC is GRC, doesn’t matter whether it’s in aviation or not.
Follow this roadmap, you can get it all done for less than $2000 USD:
ruclips.net/video/rz0RL4Xue-A/видео.htmlsi=2-Mcjiv4J28Eyy8a
For GRC do GRC Mastery:
ruclips.net/video/C6IgksBpMF4/видео.htmlsi=RLU-TU7VJj1KqoPg
you don’t need other GRC courses, once you finish GRC Mastery just continue with the roadmap above to gain more general cyber knowledge.
@@UnixGuy thank you so much for a prompt reply. This is very very helpful. And definitely will tread the suggested path.

Hello Unix I am in my very beginning in learning pentest/ethical hacking Wanna ask Now I am watching professer messer N+ videos then I will use bandit and tcm linux 101 to know linux then I will go to pjpt certificate will I have a chance of getting a job after the pjpt even with low salary so that I can collect money to get the pnpt or oscp
There are way less entry level pentesting jobs out there, you will probabky need OSCP to get in. Follow my ethical hacker roadmap. Alternatively, you can try and become a generalist first by following this roadmap:

@@Mohdhq77 this is a bad plan. ‘collect money for OSCP’ is a bad plan. You can get any job now (not in cyber) to ‘collect money’, we all had to work random jobs and save up. Watch the videos
