Man, you don’t know me but I owe a lot to you. Just landed my first Cybersecurity analyst position thanks to your videos and knowledge ( I have no experience either). So from myself and my family thank you.

[williammorgan]

Trust me just do it. I listened and followed his help, landed a 55k job after a career switch and just an A+ cert. This went along with 10 resumes a day for a month and a half. Don’t give up!

[ProTechShow]

Some great tips. I especially like the bit about HomeLabs - they're a great way to take control of your own destiny. Some IT people don't want to touch technology outside of their job and I understand the desire to leave work at work; but it also means their experience is entirely dependent on what their employer chooses to give them. If they are given menial tasks or their employer is the type to keep riding obsolete tech into the ground they end up stuck without marketable skills. A HomeLab doesn’t just give you skills and experience – it demonstrates passion and initiative.

I'm a year and a half into my service desk analyst position and I have an interview into my Infosec team this week. If it wasn't for your videos and advice I would of never gotten where I am today. Keep pumping the videos out your a life saver!

Every company is different. Keep in mind that you may or may not need a cert for a job. Some companies may ask for experience, a degree, a cert or something else. One key thing that will help you stand out is using the power of LinkedIn and network the hell out of people. Networking plays a big part in getting a job to bypass the ats system.

As an industry pro in IT - I found this helpful on a high level. I am not a "job hopper" - I have long tenures at the companies i have worked at. The hurdle I am encountering now is that all of the positions (in my area of North Texas at least) in my preferred pay scale are contract positions, and most not even contract-to-hire. I need a place to retire from at this point - I remember DOS and dip-switches, that's when I got my A+ lol. The resume info was exactly what I needed to see - I haven't changed my format since the mid-90's (Word was still WordPerfect when I created the original). Seeing what the recruiters and HR are looking for and getting some insight into their headspace hit the nail on the head. Thanks Chuck - rock on sir.

[jimbob]

There is some fantastic advice in this video for people looking for positions in all fields, not just IT, well done!

[kganatr]

Its so cool you made this video, It's exactly what I needed and working on right now. I quit my grocery store job of 10 years to build a tech career for myself with no prior experience. Currently working on my certs and associates degree. You're a real helpful man chuck and thank you for continuing to make helpful content. You're attitude is contagious and thanks for trying so hard! You're a gem my guy

[realeduardoguzman]

A tip:
If you are already a programmer / software engineer. You can create a static site (use your preferred front-end technology and compile it to html, css, js) and host it in S3 (or GCP equivalent). It will be much cheaper than hosting a wordpress server, specially if you don't make an update every week.

[andrejones]

Thanks! Chuck you are a great Inspiration . You Will have many blessings to fuel your passion. I’m Looking forward to Your Success!

Honestly, being introverted in a market full of extroverts makes it so much harder because we have our own great story to tell, but aren't always the best at explaining especially in an interview process where you're often put on the spot and expected to perform to the same level as perhaps other extroverted people. I think that's where having a homelab or some quantifiable example that can demonstrate you have the chops to perform given the right environment is really helpful. Or having a couple of good professional references that can vouch for the things you've done.

[architvats]

I've been watching similar videos back to back from sometime and I gotta say yours is true gold. Not only do you advise on projects but how to do them. Not just go a build a website but how to do it. Not just some resume tips but exactly how to make one. Thanks a lot for making this.

[johndaarteest]

One of the tricks I have heard is to open a separate document and type keywords that you want to stand out, type these over and over again and then copy and paste these into the header and the footer of your resume multiple times, but use a white font color and shrink it down to the smallest font size for your word document application. That way the computer reads it but human eyes can't.

[michaelamos]

Thank you for proving what I have been telling my wife for months. I had to take a 5 years break from IT and I have been rebuilding my homelab. I told my wife the Dell T330 server, Dell T5810 workstation, pfsense box, cisco and unifi switches were all for building my online portfolio. Also thank you for the resume help, I have 20 years of experience so I have a hard time getting my resume down to a page or two. Like most people in tech I would work at 1 place like IBM for 7 years. Sure I started as a repair tech and left as head engineer, but during that time I technically had like 30 job titles and working for 3 different companies. I wasn't just a engineer, I wrote software, managed 40 people, taught training classes, did technical writing, etc. I also get confused about how to list who I worked for. Like I had a IT job running 2 datacenters for a major drug company, but I worked for a company that worked for HP that did the IT for the company. At the same time company I directly worked for would loan me out to other companies for a migration project or datacenter inventory, etc.

I’m from Colombia, spanish is my native language and this was just cristal clear not even the most experience teachers or YouTuber’s have put in so simple words. Chuck, Thank you so much for this valuable content and FREE

[emmanuelpoirier]

This video is surely the BEST pratical advice to get the job you want in IT ever shown + giving advice to moving up in your career. And it could be applied to other jobs too.

It's common sense, self marketing, and showing the world you exist and want to break through: showing you are alive and kicking while able to do the job by tackling all the obstacles going through.

Really awesome. Congratulations Keith.

[ambroze]

I am applying to multiple countries for a job, fresh into the industry, not as easy but I persevere every day! Thank you Chuck, you absolute legend!

[DGTubbs]

I just LOVE your videos. So encouraging and exciting!!! This must be one of THE BEST videos you've ever done! I'm going to go rebuild my resume AND build a website RIGHT NOW! Then I'm going to get started on a few new projects; maybe even build my own home networking lab WITH hardware. I am currently an Account Manager with a security company (Uniformed Services). But my bosses have made me an admin on a few systems. I'm after my Security+ at some point. But I need to start somewhere. Thank you for all you do, brother!!!

[ReekGo]

You know what I think the best advice is to give people? Carve your own lane and do whatever it takes to get a job. I have researched this topic so many times all throughout the internet and there is so many conflicting reports, and so many different things people have done or tell others not to do. Just do whatever it takes, control your own destiny as cliché that may sound.

Basically try anything if you can do so, you don't really know what path will lead you to success. There is no right or wrong answer.
