I see people building huge homelabs and wondering why nothing changes 🚧 The problem isn’t the homelab, it’s how you’re using it ❌ A homelab is not meant to be permanent infrastructure 🖥️ It’s a temporary environment to solve one specific problem 🎯 If your homelab doesn’t end in screenshots, notes, and a write-up, it’s useless 📸 Recruiters don’t care what you built, they care what you learned and applied 🧠 The right homelab turns into a portfolio project, not a flex 💼 Most people never make that connection and stay stuck 🔒 I put together a simple guide that shows exactly how to do this the right way 📘 Comment "HOMELAB" and I’ll DM you the Homelab Execution Guide.

I see tons of cybersecurity portfolios that look impressive but do absolutely nothing for hiring managers 😬. Most people treat a portfolio like a flex instead of proof of skill 💻. Listing tools and buzzwords without showing application is the fastest way to get ignored 🚫. Hiring managers don’t care what you say you know, they care what you can do ⚙️. A portfolio should show how you solve real problems, not how many tutorials you watched 📉. Screenshots, explanations, and decision-making matter more than polish 🧠. If your portfolio doesn’t clearly answer “why should I hire you,” it’s hurting you 📄. I break down exactly what to include and what to avoid in a simple framework 🛠️. Comment "PORTFOLIO" and I’ll DM you my Cyber Portfolio Blueprint.

I passed the AZ900 yesterday! 🥳 As someone who at first was trying to figure out how to break in to cyber basically on my own, I appreciate this community and the directions of the ebook and advice given so far. It’s also nice to see others who are maybe in a similar boat. Anyways, onto the next one, network+! If anyone has a tips or resources that helped them, please feel free to share. I am probably going to go with same route as I did with the sec+ of using prep books, practice tests and YouTube videos like the Prof. Messer.

Hi, I’m Brielle! I'm transitioning into cybersecurity after over 10 years in the insurance industry, where I gained extensive experience in analytics and risk management. I passed my Security+ certification at the end of July and am now exploring cybersecurity roles. I’m excited to learn from the community and connect with others who are on a similar path!
