Hey guys, I’m a new grad struggling to figure out where to go next. I went to Pennsylvania State University and completed a program called “Cybersecurity Operations and Analytics” where I earned a BS. I’ve been applying for IT help desk jobs and tier 1 SOC analyst jobs but haven’t had any luck. Any general advice would be great. Thank you.
It's a tough market for entry-level SOC analysts. It has been since...well, as long as I can remember.
IT Help Desk experience is a huge plus, for landing future SOC analyst roles, if you can get some.
My advice is:
Haven't had any luck getting interviews? Could be your resume. Haven't had any luck with getting offers? Could be your interviewing skills.
