I did 100s of Cyber Security interviews and I learned this

Having a good attitude is a crucial but overlooked skill. I don’t want to work with someone who has a shitty attitude no matter how much they know

You are amazing! ❤ thank you!

Can cybersecurity certified CC ISC2 get me a junior level job?

I didn't had any idea how to become a cyber security analyst until I started watching you videos, im still a beginner but since I got all the information from you and since I got the roadmap from you now I know what to study and what to do next and how to become a cyber security analyst, thanks for each and every information your providing through this channel please continue your channel your doing great and thank you again ❤,

As a fresher, can i land a remote job outside of my country(im from india), and is it nessecary to have certificates like CEH, sec+, etc, as a student I cant pay for those certs as they are expensive, I have done the certs like google cybersecurity cert and few udemy courses and i feel Im good with basics of cybersecurity. And can you suggest few sites to apply for these jobs.

❤

It literally just comes down to being yourself instead of displaying traits you think are worshipped. I've recently been watching you and other content creators for guidance about getting into the field and I appreciate your wisdom!

I think you should address that the prevailing advice given by the recruitment/HR side of the equation is to pretty much do exactly what you said you don't like in 1 and 2.

Also, I think any and every part of cybersecurity owes not just potential job candidates an explanation of what's going on and why we are losing the cyberwar (and badly). I think the industry owes society at large some answers to why things are going so poorly, I think the industry has a pretty bad #3 problem.

Excellent video !

Hi, I am out of my last training in server and network administration, but I really like your mentorship. Just lately I have been more interested and doing my beginners course in the cybersecurity roadmap. Your videos have encouraged me to develop a positive outlook towards my future career goals. Thanks, Chief.

Yes i want to learn more about cybersecurty to help my country and fellow pilipino from danger of hackers

Hey I really like this video alot. My quesiton is, since im breaking into cybersecurity the hard way since I dont have a degree and I have to work really hard. I know show casing my projects and skills is essential. So how would you create an outstanding portfolio to land that job? Github? your own website? I am curious because I know I can potentially get the job but because I lack some things I have to make up for it in skill. So any thoughts would be apprecaited on that and thank you for always answering my questions! I appreciate it!

honest,straightforward and nit rude. I liked this video. I think I'm ready for my interview tomorrow. I have my Security+ cert and am always trying to learn more. I'm passionate but not cocky at all and I have the attitude that I want to get BETTER. I'm exited and I hope my true genuine nature comes across in this interview really need this job and career to take off.

So good! These specific areas I have had to work on and practice to nail in interviews and now I intern as a Security Analyst. Thanks again for your knowledge!

I am guilty of mistake number two, sometimes I just don't know when to shut my trap. I find myself repeating subject matter or even worse sometimes catching myself slipping personal faults and instantly regret what I said. I try to be concise but then I find myself feeling like I have to cut myself short and it feels uncomfortable. I think a communications skills course is probably a wise bet to be placed into my near future.

You are really correct. Its better to be honest because they will know when you are lying. Some questions are designed to push you how far you know and to find out if you are a liar or not. Its better to know what something means and just put it in your own words rather than memorizimg how someone from the internet worded it. I agree about the attitide thing too.

On my first interview, the HR never showed up. I waited for an hour on Microsoft Teams and nobody came on. I also received no message from her whether it got cancelled or rescheduled. At first I felt angry and thought it was rude that she ghosted me.

But my mom told me to send a follow up message which I did. I followed up with her politely even though I felt angry and bad. She replied to me saying that she was sick and told her assistant to message me but apparently forgot to do. She apologized and reacheduled. I got the job.

To this day, I think would not have gotten this security analyst job if I didn’t follow up politely and if I had let my anger get the best of me. Attitude is really everything.

thank you brother

Do you think is important have a previous background/experience as backend developer, data base administrator or clooud engineer before getting into this industry? Or there is not need to have experience from other fields previously. I'd like starting my learning process with this, but i came across with some videos talking about it, but the vast mayority just mention that i need learn python and keep going.... I dunno. What do you think?

What is the best path to go to if you want to at home?

Sir I have one more doubt. I now have the opportunity to study bsc cyber forensics. Should I go for it? I am really interested in the field but have no idea about the job opportunities

Hey UnixGuy, I am thinking of approaching cyber security as a hobby. What path/role would you recommend to learn? Is it possible to do it?

This new microphone so bad too bro . buy a high quality one.❤

Hey I would like your advice. I have been a programmer for 20 years and always had an interest in cyber security so I am thinking of doing it. There are lots of good reasons I should do it, but there are some personal reasons I am not sure about it. So I would like your opinion. Reasons I should do it first, well I would like a remote job, I have a technical mind (built my own 2D Game Engine), I understand security at a high level (enjoy reading about types of attacks). Good at teaching myself, don't need a pat on the back(I did see your other video) I know I would be good at it. But, I have been staring at a computer screen 10+ hours a day for 20 years. Its starting to affect my mind / soul? I can work in high pressure environments, but I just have this feeling like I have not been spending enough time in the real world enough(its hard to describe this feeling)? So now I like to have a break for a few minutes after every couple of hours at the computer, and I go for several walks a day just to get fresh air. Are there many or any cyber security jobs which are either part time, or don't involve staring at a screen for several hours without a break. For example maybe some of the work could instead involve talking to people or drawing out plans / thinking? Or for a part time job say 3 days a week I could be staring at the screen all day, but not more days per week. Computer stuff is my main skill but I would like to be able to use my skills in a way where I am not always glued to the screen. I think maybe I could work for some sort of consulting company? I like to talk about security and psychology, social engineering etc. But then would they require security experience? (which I do not have). I think you get the picture. I would like your guidance if you have some ideas.

Your videos keep me motivated! I finished my ISC2 Cybersecurity course that you suggested and will be taking the exam this week! I've been so back and forth about going back to what I know or pursuing cybersecurity because I feel like I would not be a qualified candidate, but this gives me some hope. :)

Sir I'm pursuing BTech in electronics and telecommunication engineering. Can I pursue MSc cybersecurity after some beginner certifications in cybersecurity ???

I really appreciate your videos. They have been super helpful while I explore cyber. You mentioned in another video that you got a degree in Computer Engineering, which is actually something I have been considering even before I knew about cyber security: I think I'm interested in both hardware and software. Is that a degree path you recommend for a career in cyber? It seems like the hardware familiarization would be beneficial for cyber, but maybe Computer Science or another degree would be better suited?

Sorry if you already talked about this in another video that I missed. Thanks.

This is exactly why I got accepted for a traineeship for the ministry of defense.
I told them I knew nothing but wanted to learn everything because I want to protect those around me after my neighbour unalived himself because he lost everything to a spear-phisher 👌🏽

Hello, I am from India. Can you please explain the responsibilities of a cyber security associate in a job? I have an upcoming interview with Cotelligent/Tech Democracy company in Hyderabad for an internship that has the potential to lead to full-time employment as a CS associate. Could you provide information about what I can expect to learn during this internship and on the job?

Thoughts about how AI can affect the future of Cyber Security? With the emergence of AI will it affect the job growth and demand?

Thanks 🙏

hello UnixGuy, what do u think about the CPTS? i've been doing it for 3 months now so im too deep in to stop, when i talked about it in the community i've been told thats its harder than the OSCP and more valuable

Great content again! In your opionion can you get grc role with no experiance and only certifications?

Hey Unixguy, I like your videos. I have a cyber security consultant interview tomorrow. I am going to graduate with a BA of Law and BA of International relations and political science. I also have taught myself how to code basic data structures in python. I know you may not have experience with hiring these backgrounds but could you make a video on these more administrative roles versus the computer science aspect. (for instance privacy officer cert) Thanks!

Hello UnixGuy, i just wanted to ask you a question, im currently in college doing netwroking and security major and i love cyber and i know what im getting myself into, i know its not hacking or etc... my question is, as a college student, ive been overthinking that someday i might hate cyber and i have a networking degree, i love both cyber and developing so much i love building stuff fixing stuff and keep things secured all of them and i do self studying in those things, but if i changed my mind later on in the future and dont want cyber, with a networking degree can i still be a developer? i know i couldve easily chose cs but i took the risk because i trauly love cyber and im already self studying it but im afraid if someday in future ill randomly change my mind.

Yo I know what a SCADA is, can I get a job?




"What's a SCADA?" was the meme for my cyberpatriots team back in highschool

if someone asks you about sql injections, just tell them about your friend bobby drop tables. (xkcd-327)

this is so damn funny bc the SQL injection was LITERALLY what i brought up and lied about hahahahaha XD

Currently studying for my Security+ and your videos are a great source of knowledge. Thank you for putting this content out there.

I'm hoping to pivot from my previous helpdesk role into cybersecurity later this year, do you believe having this experience and my security+ will provide a good jumping off point to my first cyber security role?

Thank you for this! 🙌🏻

Omg I literally have a phone call for my first Cyber Security interview in 7 minutes, I wish I caught this earlier 😭I'm gonna hit play when the call is over and see how I did

Can you share LinkedIn profile name

I struggle with communication sometimes. My brain just fizzles out on occasion, maybe due to long periods of stress or overuse, I don't know. But that has cost me a couple of jobs due to a completely flopped interview. Maybe practicing interviews or improving my confidence would help.

Small and rich video as usual. Where were you 15 years ago? :) .thank you for being straight to the point.

Unix guy, im 43 years old do you think it's a bit late for me to start cyber security and how challenging do you think it will be for me to land a job! I like your videos big time they really keep me going to pursue my dream. Thanks

I’ve seen all your videos, they are a great motivation in this moment of “AI taking all the jobs”. I know you recommended an NYU course on coursera, although I was wondering if you have any opinions on the free mooc from the University of Helsinki. It’s called Cybersecurity Base 2023 and it covers an Intro to cybersecurity, Securing Software, cryptography, architectural analysis, penetration testing and a capture the flag competition. Thanks for all the insights!

You are absolutely right ! Recruters use your resume to ask specifique questions about your expérience..So if you lie about what wrote down you can say goodbye to your credibility...

Thank you for your advices Sir😊

I saw on indeed a company that asks for 3 years of proven experience in cybersecurity and a bachelor degree in computer science for a cybersecurity role and they offered a measle 40 K a year then I looked at dishwashers job offerings some were offering up to 25-27.5$ an hour which is way more than the cybersecurity stunt of a job.

Can I get an internship opportunity to learn, please?
