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

I have never encountered a video that was just uploaded 1 minute ago, and I enjoy the videos. Thank you for sharing knowledge.

[billstrong]

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!

[jdogdizzy]

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

[foxxriderr]

The absolute best Cyber training channel out there....I have never seen such good advice from anyone. Thanks UnixGuy!

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!!

[AbdulRahim-uzyt]

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!

That's really helpful for cyber security aspirants for getting there first security job❤

[albuandrei]

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!

[abdisamadjoe]

Thanks, Unixguy! These tips were exactly what I needed for my cybersecurity job hunt!

[gaminginasmr]

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....

[derdolph]

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 ?
