In this podcast, I explain how to do that. Some things I've learned along the way in my 20 plus years of experience. And we keep open topics. So we talking about a lot of different Now this one is from 2020. A lot of things were happening as you know, in 2020, the pandemic was happening with all these protests in America and all that stuff. I try not to talk about that stuff too much but it does come up from time to time i focus mainly on cyber security stuff so if you're interested in knowing how to get into it with little or no experience check out this podcast
Hope you enjoy this one. I I do weekly. I missed last week. Um, had some stuff going on, but here I am this week, and today we're gonna cover, we're gonna cover some questions that I recently got. So if you have any questions at, at any time throughout this, just feel free to ask and I will I'll cover it. But one of the common questions I I've been getting lately is how do I get into it with no little or no experience?
And so more than one person has been asking, for some reason questions go in sets like somebody will ask me and then like three other people ask me the same question. So I would like to cover that what, um, and give you some resources and stuff like that. But before we. I should let you, uh, I should, I just want to give condolences to, to, to the, all the people who have passed away, do the COVID 19, I'm still bunkered in still, um, uh, staying at home and stuff just like I'm supposed to do.
And hopefully you guys are staying safe as far as the job market is concerned. Uh, it's pretty much the same. It's kind of a freeze going on with hiring new people that said, I am still getting job offers, uh, and opportunities in my inbox. Just not as many, not nearly as many as I was before. And also, um, like the company I'm working for, they have kind of a hiring freeze, but they, they did hire some people like at the tail at the very beginning of this COVID 19.
So we actually do have new people, but they're kind of slowing it down. Cause we don't know financially. where the wind's blowing as far as the company and as far as clients and stuff like that. So that's kind of what's going on with COVID 19. And if you guys, uh, have any anecdotal, uh, personal experiences on what's going on in your wherever, you're from feel free to let us know.
Um, you guys are looking at the same data that I'm looking at, so that's, what's going on with it. And let's just go ahead and dive into this. Let me see if I could bring up the questions I've been getting. And, uh, yeah. So several people have been asking me this question right here. I dunno if you could see this, but I'm just gonna go ahead and read it and it says, um, Hey, what if you have zero experience and just got your security plus cert everyone seems to want new graduates or people with five years of experience.
Also, I don't have a security clearance. So I gotten this question several times, um, from several different people. From all over, uh, from, from LinkedIn, from my email box. Uh, and then there's a couple other people who have, who have asked that very question. So I'm gonna go ahead and answer it to the best of my ability.
And bef before I start on this, I should let you know that I actually have a course that talks about this very thing. So if you go to combo courses.com or you can go to security, compliance, dot, think.com, combo courses.com, easier to remember. You'll see some courses that I have, one of the free courses that I have that talks about my, my perspective on how do you get into it?
How do you get into cyber security with little or no experience? And I talk about it here. I break everything down. I talk about what I would do if I was in like, starting from scratch, knowing what I know now, what would I do? um, and
