If you have no experience of any work to show employers and you want to get your foot in the door in I.T. or Cybersecurity. I'd say get the A+ Cert. It'll help you get a Helpdesk Job or something in the realm of I.T. and that'll be a great stepping stone to whatever you want to do in Tech. Especially now with the Tech Industry being in a recession.

[Mandilore]

I can confirm CompTIA A+ allowed me to get my foot properly in the door in 2016 & been employed in IT since then. I actually got my first tech job (non-IT. It was QA role but did require some similar troubleshooting methods you'd use in IT) in 2014. In my case, my first actual IT job, I was hired based on my experience in that QA role & my CompTIA A+ (couldn't get an IT job prior to A+ passing). I had my A+ for two weeks prior to getting that job offer.

The A+ got me my first IT job as a field tech, deploying hardware (workstations, peripherals, IP cameras, point-of-sale) for a chain of convenience stores (think 7/11). What you need is experience. Any experience will do. From that job I managed to get hired in a SOC where I learned a ton about firewalls and even got two manufacturer certifications, then, I discovered a gem of a little certification from HPE called the Aruba Certified Network Technician. Get it. Seriously, get it. It's not expensive, and it looks GREAT on your resume. From that I got my CompTIA Network+ and I'm now working as a network engineer at a good sized company. You can do this. The A+ is a great start. Even the ITF+ is a good way to start building your career. Best of luck.

Starting my career switch at age 31. Your videos have been very helpful and reassuring during this rapidly changing time in my life. I want to say thank you!

[Jinx-igfz]

A+ will get you a job. I would definitely go with the Sec+ because that would open way more doors, and most companies ask for that certification outright.

[jeremy]

All your videos are super helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make them!!

[RCKoa]

I just started studying for A+ this week. I already know most of the material but I'll go for the certification anyway just because I think having something extra I can put on my resume may help.

[Juju-gxtq]

Certs are definitely a resume booster. A + can get you great help desk job etc.

[grandnagus]

I just put on my resume that I was studying for the CompTIA A+ certification and got interviews based on that.

[LAAM]

I just passed core 1, started studying for core 2 today. I already have 1 job offer and 1 potential as long as i pass core 2 by the end of this month. worth it to me. Plus, it was free.

[fbgduval]

I'm 19 and don't want to spend thousands on a college degree. So if I go this route, getting the A+ and then working towards getting both, the Security+ and the Network+, I'll be able to land a relatively decent job? My main goal is to be hired for a remote job making decent money so I can live outside of the US. $60k a year is enough but I'd happily take more. Working at UPS, breaking my back everyday isn't exactly ideal.

[yancytiblier]

I currently work in HRIS utilizing Oracle. I want to go into cyber security and this video just confirmed my path. Thank you so much!

[themetalhead]

I got a job with only the A+ certification. I wasn’t able to get hired for help desk but I landed a job doing imaging, backups and hardware break fixes. It doesn’t pay much but it will be good resume fodder for the next job..

[robertgardner]

I definitely want to start with my A+ to get my feet into something, I want to actually build a career out of IT. I am interested in learning networking, and security. I want to be expandable as I love tech, and it's fun and interesting to me to be able to learn to trouble-shoot and problem solve, then fix, or program bugs, etc. Or learn to manage company networks, servers, etc. All of it is interesting to me, and I want to get into this. I am almost 23 and I need to get my life together, the only experience i have with computers is building/troubleshooting my own PC's, and watching tech videos growing up, but I have no real experience.

I am planning to potentially move to Minneapolis, MN with a friend who works in the IT and I want to learn a lot from them, and there's plenty of jobs in the twin cities in this field for sure!

Also being able to work from home when needed especially in brutal Minnesota storms is a nice benefit... 😅

[jmc]

Thank you so much for your insight!! It helped me clear things up 😊

[cristiansilva]

Tks for the tips! As an immigrant, who needs to redo the education here in the USA. I’m starting to change my field from banking to IT. Looking forward to get into ciber security 🙌

[veteranmuscle]

In my opinion, if you have the money and no experience, take the A+. Otherwise, spend your money on the Sec+ and just do labs/ YouTube videos on proving what you know in regards to the A+

[kuririn]

For those that do not know IT at all, I would suggest ITF from CompTIA, then decide on what path you want to take. A+ as many stated would probably land you a helpdesk position pretty easily, just depends on what realm civilian side yup, DoD nope. DoD requires a bare minimum of Sec+. Network + will probably get a junior SysAd, junior NetworkAd position. Sec+ is supposed to be the minimum to get into Cybersecurity but in my experience so far, a lot of places want beefy certs like CISM, CCSP, and CISSP. Now I have seen a few lately get internships with just having a Sec+ but they want to see some hands-on experience using NIST RMF, COBIT, etc. The job market is weird, and I really believe most of the recruiters (techwise) do not fully understand the certificates themselves. But Sandra I love watching your videos and you put out great info. KEEP IT UP
