    Applied to a Job Feeling Planning Thinking

    I graduated last May with a degree in cybersecurity and have been trying to break into the IT field ever since. I'm currently 25 years old and studying for my Security+ certification. Despite sending out over 700 applications in the past six months, I haven't been able to land even the most basic roles that require just a GED, and I'm willing to work for as little as $15/hr. I have a solid background in sales, so I know I have skills to offer, but it feels like I'm hitting a wall. I've tried applying online and even walking my resume into businesses, but nothing seems to work. I've heard that networking is crucial in this industry, and I'm really struggling to find that first opportunity. I'm open to any tips or advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I am a 25-year-old with a degree in cybersecurity, and I've been trying to break into the IT field since I graduated last May. I've sent out over 700 job applications in the past six months, but I haven't had any luck landing even the most basic roles, like those that pay $15 an hour and only require a GED. I have a solid background in sales from previous jobs, so I know I have skills to offer. I've tried various approaches, including applying online and even walking my resume into businesses, but nothing seems to work. I've been hearing a lot about the importance of networking, and I feel like I'm at a standstill. I'm really looking for any advice or tips from others who have been in a similar situation. It’s been a tough journey, and I just want to find that first opportunity to get my foot in the door.
