Hey guys as I refocus after the hurricane that just hit.. Just want to encourage you to make every day count you may never know when an opportunity comes. Stay strong you got this.

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…

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.

Happy Saturday, Hoodies!! It’s weekend, but progress doesn’t stop. Even one hour of study, one lab, or one application moves you forward. Remember, small steps even on weekends add up fast. 🚀 What’s one thing you’re proud of this week? Big or small, drop it below and let the community celebrate it with you!! 🎉

I just earned an IBM Cybersecurity Cert!!!! And with that I am almost confident for sec+ and CySa+ https://www.credly.com/users/savoy-campbell#credly
