YOUR CYBERSECURITY LABS SUCK

Your labs aren't good enough. I'm going to show you exactly how to make labs that are going to make recruiters want to hire you. If you're new here, my name is Nate. I work in IT and cybersecurity as a government contractor and I help people break into the industry. So, if that interests you, drop a follow. Now, I'm about to put you on a ton of game, so save this video for later, come back, reference it so you can do that whole thing. Now, when doing practical labs to show that you actually have tangible hard skills and not just a piece of paper that says you know how to do something, it's important to do them correctly. Now, what do I mean when I'm saying this? You're going to go to a job posting that you would apply for for a job that you want and then make labs based on the requirement in the job description. In the job description, they're literally giving you what they want, the specific tools, the specific mindset, the specific requirements for everything that they're looking for for that job role. And if you keep your resume simple, plain text preferably, and you put those vendor specific tools as the tools that you know how to use, guess what? The HR system that scans your resume is going to pick that up. I say all the time, certifications aren't enough and you need practical labs. And then I get asked, how do I do practical labs? And my gut reaction is like, search the internet, but that's kinda mean. So this is how I would go about doing labs and how I've seen other people do labs and get hired.
