Yes. Absolutely. I got a job with the government solely on having the security+. No experience and no college degree. Getting jobs is just about hit or miss really. Sometimes companies will just give you an unexpected chance with having almost nothing and some companies have ridiculous unrealistic expectations wanting like 10 certifications and like 30+ years experience paying only $80, 000 a year. It all just depends. The best thing you can do is get your security+ and keep applying to as many jobs as you can. You might get lucky you might not. I’ve literally seen people get jobs within days after get their security+ and some took months. Never known someone to take years though although there are rare stories out there of some folks taking years to get a job with a security+. If you have security+ and it’s taking you years, you obviously have no idea what you’re doing. It has nothing to do with the certification, it’s you at that point. I think it heavily depends on what time of year you’re applying for jobs also. Most jobs typically start hiring around February or March. Just something to think about.

A video about what to do after security+ to increase chance to get an entry level jobs will be pretty interesting

Love the video! I am studying for my Sec+ exam now! Cant wait.

[TechwithLuca]

super useful this and the last video def provide a lot of insight on the field thank you Sandra!

[nkecskes]

Yes that would be cool to have a video on the 701 exam .

[kareem]

CompTIA needs to be fair in the way they word questions

[urfriendsamir]

Thank you so much for the information! Im currently taking a cybersecurity bootcamp and I finish in December after hopefully passing the bootcon project and then i take the exam! Wish me luck!😁

[markantoniost]

i have a couple projects ready when i finish my security+ do you have an idea if the job market is better or worse currently?

[zeronight]

i noticed more here in the US a security clearance + security plus (over other level 2 certs) = a pretty decent job

[nashwanalaezy]

Which certificate is better to have CompTIA Cyber security or Bachelor in Cyber security? Help me, please.

[Cendell]

Hi Sandra, i know your videos are mainly for beginners/people wanting to break in the industry, and I might be in the minority asking for this. But do you think you could make a video on career advancement and how to get in the 6-figures/higher range? Thanks! 😊

[alexsp]

Depends on how good you are. Even people with University Certifications i would not hire.
The IT world is all about how well you sell your self and how competent you are. Does not matter what certificate company you have.
There are people out there that never went to any school for the IT Industry and can do the job better than 80% of those with schooling.

If you get the 601 security+ version will you have to take the 701 when it expires next year?

[NatanaelArce]

I'm studying for my CYSA+. Was almost considering going back to recertify my old Sec+....

[Aryonwilica]

I asked this question on your last video no answer if I’m pushing to be a red teamer more specifically a pen tester which one should I go for practice as a beginner the Google certification or practice on try hack me ?

[melissagarza]

Question. Do you need to have the CompTIA A+ & Network+ certifications in order to take the Security+ exam?

[XanderMuze]

I <3 you Sandra, new fan here and about to smash out some CompTIA certs with schooling, self-teaching & PaSsIoN ;) your resources are fantastic and I appreciate your content + vibe.

[SpicyNoodleEnjoyer]

im having the hardest time finding even an entry level job with security +.. they want experience.. but how do i even get experience if no one is willing to even give me a chance

[rafaelcaballero]

I miss your day in the life videos. Can you have something like that even though your not working anymore?
