Today I was offered a job as a Digital Technology Support Specialist at a local heavy vehicle manufacturing plant. I accepted the offer. Early in July of this year, I opened ChatGPT and asked "Give me a list of 100 good paying manual labour jobs in southern Ontario." It gave me a list of 100 jobs. None of which I was interested in. But, I told the AI my situation "I’ve worked as a line cook, PSW, DSW, and tutor for students with developmental disabilities, but after 10 years in support work, I went back to cooking. My current job doesn’t pay enough to support a family, and I want a better-paying role with benefits but hope to avoid more student debt." One of the jobs listed was IT support / entry-level tech. I thought to myself, 'hey I could do that.' In three and a half months: 1 certification 45 applications 1 phone interview 2 in-person interviews 1 job offer (accepted) Three and a half months of applying to jobs every week, studying for CompTIA exams everday, learning labs and recording videos about my home lab every week, and eventually getting my first I.T. certification. Proud of myself. Now the real fun begins.

Hey everybody, I’ve been taking Evans advice and i got my security+ and my splunk power user certs, and currently studying for my cysa+. I just started applying about 5 days and im getting emails and call backs almost instantly. I have no previous work experience on my resume just what i would consider high-end projects with splunk, elastic, wireshark, etc…

Attached is my current IT help desk job duties with the school I’m employed at. As you can see, some network and systems administrator work is required and will be assigned. I even will get a hands on implementing security policies and measures 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Used the tool for the first time. It gave some great insight into creating a custom lab. I also started working on a simulated work ticketing method for Linux Sys Admin skills that i leveraged AI to make. I can ask it to focus on specific tasks so I can focus on weak areas. Need to get this RHCSA knocked out the way

Was pretty nervous about taking this one but within a month of watching Prof Messer's videos and taking his practice tests I nailed a 789 today!
