I did it! First I.T. Job Ever
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 [my area]." 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.

The Real Entry-Level Strategy
Most people don’t fail because cybersecurity is “too hard.” They fail because they use the wrong strategy. They collect random certs. Apply to 12 jobs. Watch YouTube for 6 months. Then wonder why nobody responds. The market changed. The people getting hired now are the ones who can prove they can DO something. That means: ✅ A focused path ✅ A few strong projects ✅ A clean resume ✅ An actual portfolio ✅ High-volume applications You do not need to know everything. You need to look believable for ONE lane long enough to get traction. Most beginners are massively under-applying. The internet made people think 20 applications is “trying.” It’s not. Comment "APPLICATION" and I’ll DM you 1,000 Application System.
