The ONLY projects you need to break into IT. You really only need these two to get your first job in IT. They're both free, and you can literally get them done in a weekend. So make sure you save this video! For the first one, you want to go to TryHackMe. Then at the top, press Learn. Then under Walkthroughs, just type in Active Directory, and this should come up. And this room is going to teach you all of the basics of Active Directory. Now for this, make sure that you're actually learning and understanding the material instead of just going down and answering the questions. Because if you put this on your resume, they probably will ask you about it, and if you don't know what you're talking about, they're gonna notice, and it's gonna be very embarrassing for you. But yeah, as you complete this room, make sure that you're also documenting everything. For the next project, go to this video on YouTube. In the video, she not only explains the basics of ticketing systems, but she also teaches you how to create your own simulated ticketing system for free. And of course, while you're doing this, make sure that you're documenting everything. This shouldn't take more than like a day or two, so get to it. And if you're really serious about getting into IT, drop a follow.
