How to Land a Job in Cloud & IT with No Experience (Google IT Support Certification)

can you make a video on free course a student should do to get an advantage

I have an international degree, bachelor's in IT before moving to the US

Is it advisable for me to take it, or should I go for more specialized courses like cybersecurity / data analytics. I have no experience only web development internships.

I love your content btw, it really put me on the path that I want to be in.

I've passed and certified as a Google Professional Cloud Architect. But unable to find a job because I'm near 50yrs old. Maybe you need to do a preface on that. lol. Zero IT experience for higher certificates might not be ideal.

This is so helpful!
Thank you

If you're working minimum wage rn and reading this it means you have taken the first step in improving yourself and your future. Well done!

I am also doing this certification course and I'll be done with the 1st part ( course) today. I'm hearing it'll be hard to find a job with just certificates even with certs like A+ etc but I'll worry about that part once I finish the course. I will be watching your video's to get more info and knowledge. thank you

Heyy Lucy, the way you explain is awesome ✨ I wanted some guidance on a problem how can I connect with you
Thank you

One tool that helped me from Your Newsletter Lucy was Interviewjarvis. I wish you could also cover it in your videos for folks who don't engage in Newsletter. Keep up the good work.

For cloud???

Hi Lucy, I am wondering if it is free to study AND take exam if you can complete it all within the "free" 7 day period?

thanks

I just completed the 5 courses on the Google IT support professional certification course on Coursera
Please what are the next steps to secure an entry level job

I got the certification back in 2017 when it launched and then went on to become a system admin for Microsoft and netsuite products. I'm also the primary contact for our vendor management and work with a team of developers around the world for our website. I do some powerapps development. I have a bachelor's in business.

Immediately after getting the certification I got a help desk job at a monitor company and eventually became a manager for their technical support department.

Prior to the certification I was already a writer for a video game website creating tech articles about monitors gadgets computer parts so having the certification helped me back up what I was already talking about.

Sorry for any errors in this I'm using voice to text.

Hi Lucy, thank you for your very informative videos! So helpful for someone like me looking at ways into the industry with some tech experience but nothing to boast about. I want to start a course on Coursera but im stuck between the Google It Support Cert or IBM's Information Technology (IT) and Cloud Fundamentals Specialization. For someone looking to learn more about IT and eventually help me land an entry level job, which of these courses would you recommend? I plan to take both at some point but I'm not sure which one will be more helpful for starting out.

I have both Google and ibm IT Support certificates and still i didnt get any job yet, maybe something wrong with my cv anymore could help with fixing what's wrong.

I just got this certification and actually i'm from Dominican Republic and find a job in this country is dificult :(

Hello @TechwithLucy
Can you do a video for those of us who are in Ethiopia/Africa.....what is the best way to land international cloud job?

I’ve been working as a software developer for about 4 years and now I want to become a solutions architect at aws… I’m currently studying to get the cloud practitioner certificate

This is the only cert I've got. Using it and focusing my CV on the skills from my previous job like customer services and logical trouble shooting steps, I was able to land an IT job and with a year of IT experience I'm now working in IT support at Amazon/AWS.

Hey, Lucy, what entry level job should I shoot for if I want to go into cloud?

I'm currently on course 3. I've started applying for jobs already. i finished the google cybersecurity certificate a couple of months ago.

Every help is welcome , especially for entry level aspiring cloud and IT engineers!

Keep up the good work Lucy!

We will not disappoint you!

I did that program. It's good. The problem is to find the job ... they ask for many things more
