Help Desk Technician Level 1 at Career Connections Incorporated

Plenty of education...... Little experience

I have an Associates degree in Security Technology, a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and am currently working toward my Master's in Cyber-security, yet it seems no one is willing to give me the opportunity to gain experience. I'm not sure what to do anymore?!

Hi Nicole,

You seem to be very qualified for some roles! I would reach out to professors you have had and let them know you're looking to gain some hands-on experience in the field. They may know someone to connect you with.

Keep on applying to jobs in your field. Many job listings for entry-level positions will say 3-5 years of experience, but will hire you as long as you fit the company culture, have the right attitude, and posses the willingness to learn and be taught their process.

Best of luck in your job search!
