SEPTEMBER SURGE IS OPEN
This is a 10-seat BowTiedCyber Career System cohort built around one simple idea: September is not when you start preparing. September is when prepared candidates get to move. If you want to use the fall hiring window, the work starts now: roadmap, skills, resume, portfolio evidence, interviews, applications, and accountability.

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.

I think cybersecurity gets way easier once you stop treating everything as something you need to “study”
There’s an endless amount you could learn. Networking. Linux. Azure. Python. SIEMs. Labs. Certs. Interview prep. Trying to learn all of it at once is a pretty good way to feel busy without actually getting better. I’ve started separating my setup by purpose instead: - TryHackMe / Hack The Box → hands-on practice - YouTube → understanding concepts when I’m stuck - Floment → keeping the roadmap, projects, and daily tasks moving - GitHub → documenting projects and showing what I’ve actually built The biggest difference for me is having a clear “what am I doing today?” instead of opening another 3-hour cybersecurity roadmap and adding 17 more things to the list. Learn something → use it → document it → move to the next thing. Simple, but way harder to get lost that way. For those already further into cybersecurity, what helped you most: certifications, labs, or building your own projects?
