How the CompTIA Security+ Certification Changed My Life

How the CompTIA Security+ Certification Changed My Life

All it takes is 1 certification to completely pivot your career path and start living the life YOU want - particularly in the GovTech industry.

For me, that certification was Security+.

Today, I'm not just going to tell you about the doors Security+ opened for me, but I'll also dive deep into why it’s so useful to get, the challenges I faced while getting it, and how I tackled those same challenges.

If you're considering a career in tech, especially in cybersecurity or GovTech, or you're facing hurdles while trying to get your Security+ certification, this video is made for you.

Join me as I walk you through my journey with Security+, from the struggles to the triumphs.

Just passed Security Plus yesterday afternoon. Giant sigh of relief 😅

Shout out everyone on that certification hunt may we all land good jobs❤❤

Professor Messer gives free content and he has study groups for the Security plus. He also sales the material if you want to buy on his site for a reasonable price. But his YouTube is free.

I just got my Security+ certification and I have a security clearance. So I’ve been applying and I can’t wait to see the roles and income that comes with this. I did Intellectual Point’s bootcamp for 1 month and passed the exam on my first try. Such a huge relief. Great info. I highly recommend starting the process for starting your career in cybersecurity. I currently work in payroll and it’s awful. So I’m rooting for everyone who is pivoting into cybersecurity!

What she doesn't tell you is that she already had a security clearance, internship experience, Software Engineering experience, and a Computer Science degree

You're not going to get a job with Security+ alone

Currently studying for Security+, just finished taking and passing A+ and Network+. It's a lot, but the path and goal I'm working towards is well-worth it.

Thanks Symone! Super inspiring and uplifting! Before, I had never considered working in TECH, but I became very curious about cybersecurity through your videos. Keep up the good work!

Hello Symone thank you for the information I from the class tonight I was losing hope in my tech journey getting frustrated and i was nearly on the brink of depression thank you for the boost and the path so I can be able to provide for my family being that I lost my job as an ofcr thank you

[anthonybowie]

Anton Daniels mentioned your channel. I used to do recruiting for a company with a government IT contract. I was successful, but didn't have all the technical knowledge. Company lost the contract. However I truly enjoyed the work. Your information videos is encouraging me to get these certifications. Thank you!

[islandsluv]

Thank you for this needed information to my Cybersecurity journey in school right now! I am now on a role of learning why certifications could help me get an even early step into the role I am looking for and this was some well needed advice in terms of how to prep, what to lookout for, and what to already know along the way. I love your video and how quick and brief you explained it. I hope other learners and researchers find the same thing :)

[REALBADVIBE_]

Very refreshing to see a person who looks like me in this field and helping/encouraging others to learn about cybersecurity. ❤❤❤

[gamer-gwiy]

The emphasis on "Get ahead of the game" was incredible!

[purposedrivenmedia]

Was in your class tonight, great info!!!

I was using Pocket Prep for months to study for Security Plus, and felt really confident after I scheduled my exam. Then I asked a friend who works in MSC as a Contractor if he had any "cheat codes" before sitting for my exam. He put me together with some CompTIA study materials and I was blown away. The CompTIA assessments were miles away from & head & shoulders above the Pocket Prep materials. I'm glad I asked my friend for help b/c if I hadn't crammed using the right materials I might not have passed. You need to make sure you know a few Network type scenario based [performance] questions. Use whatever study materials you feel comfortable with but just make sure they're comparable to what will be on the exam. I'm so glad I finally got my Cert, & look forward to Gov Tech & Contracting in my future. Thanks Symoné!
