Mike Meyers' CompTIA Security+ Certification Passport, Sixth Edition (Exam SY0-601)

Tito_Jackson said:
For those who are trying to start over or find a career, this is the fastest way to go. With zero IT experience or knowledge, you can earn your CompTIA or CCNA in less than 2 months and only pay for the exam.

Many will say the CCNA is better, and it arguably is. But, it is also slightly more difficult than the CompTIA certification and requires a tad bit more study/ preparation time. Nonetheless, both are very good first IT certifications.

You can land a help desk job as soon as you are done and start working on a complementary certifiction to add to your resume.

Come on guys, you can do this!!!! No excuses!! You can change your life and the life of your family before the end of the year.

That's what I'm trying to do, get out of claims adjusting an into IT. I'll check back in a month with my progress
 
Bruh...BGOL is on time, every time. Long story short, I recently got the kick in the ass I needed to finally pull the trigger on the Comptia certs and what do I stumble into? Missed the mega but copped the PDF.

Can't say it enough - we need more Black in tech. This shit is ridiculous.

Yes, yall can do it!!!

Remember this, there are 168 hours in a week. If you are serious, you must dedicate 20 hours a week and treat this as a second job. Study like your life depends upon it.........because it does.

Book smart != real world experience.

When applying for jobs, employers want to see hands on experience. You don't need to work somewhere in order to achieve this. Set up a lab at your house, do coding projects, know how to read logs, set up hardware, be aware of current events in the industry. Showing interests outside of book / course work goes a long way.

This...

I also found joining some communities on linkedin and frequently attending virtual meetups, asking questions is good way build relationships.

I know alot of people wanna make big money off rip, but it doesnt work like that. The vast majority of people I know started with help desk jobs for 1-3 years before getting into that mid-upper echelon in IT work. The ones who didnt work help desk usually had an internship and used that as a way in to the mid-upper echelon. Either way, some ground work has to be done.

I"m doing my BS now so when I have time I'll learn some coding but as of right now I'm doing the coursework, I can finish as fast as I can since it's based on competency.

Note - If you are going for Cybersecurity, you won't really need any coding experience. Instead spend that time familiarizing yourself with Windows Server and Linux.

thanks, I will.. I have 2 years in a SOC but I got fired:roflmao:I went back to school because I want to get into a diverse company, I was the only black guy at that SOC job filled up on Libertarian guys, I had no chance.

I'm not even after alot of money, I just want good Healthcare and a decent job I can depend on for the next ten years.

A good start would be companies who get BIG government contracts. Check to see if they have internships available. Spring/Summer is intern season. They typically pay well and could morph into a fulltime position if you impress them.
