Maybe it’s just me, but it’s weird how IT influencers went from “Top 10 paying certifications” to “Certifications are for not for you to land a job”. As someone who’s A+, Net+ and AZ-900 certified making a decent amount of money in IT if these certs had no impact on my chances of landing a job or compensation I wouldn’t have bothered studying in the first place. If this is the case no one should be touching providers that it costs $300+ dollars to take an exam like CompTIA.

Experience in IT will always trump certifications or degrees. Degrees and certifications can get you a step ahead. Degrees and certifications are knowledge, and more knowledge is never bad and will never hurt you. Nothing in life is a guarantee and there is a lot of factors that go into getting hired for a job than just certifications/degrees. 👑Experience👑 + Certification And/Or Degree = 👌👌👌 Moral of the story is to never stop learning.

I think it’s sorta like a college degree. Nobody wants a textbook learned fresh out of school unproven individual. I have 5-6 years of tech work on my resume and no a+ albeit certified by Apple, google, Samsung, dell, wise, onn, tcl by my previous employers which I believe helps compared to someone who’s never had real life experience. But on the other hand if it’s between two people with exact same skill sets, the one with a Comptia will get the job. Personally refreshing myself to take it but like a degree, it can open a new door but you still gotta walk through it and prove yourself.

I graduated with a Bachelor in CIS in 2022, I landed a help desk analyst 1 position at Taco Bell Corporate about four months later. I worked about 9 months and resigned due to the pay and went back to what I know, Construction. I been trying to get back into IT but no luck at all. It’s frustrating.
@jasonparker8232
I was able to get into a help desk level 1 position without a cert. I am planning on getting my first cert this year.
@FourEverEvolving
It's a case-by- case basis. Some recruiters requre the certs, security clearances,, 15 years of education and experience... Altogether, or in variations of combinations as a requirement. It's been 4 years÷ (16 months aggressively) that I have been trying to get a TOE in the door of I.T.! Resume revamps, tailored job specific cover letters, temp agengies, mock interviews, upcoming graduation from college, night shift ads, different time zones, &bI get some "we chose to go forward with another candidate" emails. Scammer recruiters too.😑
@kevinshie7425
I think the real question people have in mind is what is the minimum requirements for entry level IT role? "IT Certs will not guarantee you a job" Well if you put it that way nothing is guaranteed in life.
@jeffperosi5841
Does anti siphon offer IT, specifically entry level IT help desk tier 1, training or is it just cyber? Everything I saw was cyber
@crazyfan4955
Certifications sometimes only validate that you are book smart and can regurgitate what a book says
@0x8londeau
real. respect.
@mrtexican8302
The crappy thing is that people can’t land level 1 help desk. An entry level job that an ape could do. I’ve got A+, plenty of home lab projects on things like AD and knowing how to do a plethora of things like dual booting, security, networking and hardware foundational knowledge with 10+ years of mostly casual experience helping friends and family. Still cannot land this entry level job. Oh, and my resume is beautiful and ATS friendly.
@Soheib007
Just put them on an instant test and validate their knowledge ,it's that easy .
@derekberthiaume5367
What's the point of having hundreds and thousands of job postings online if you can meet all the requirements and not get the job
@probrickgamer
Are you claiming that having stuff to put on your resume isnt valuable to help finding a job?
@ResadNebiyev13
thanks you for this, i am learning based on netacademy (cisco it essentials) and after every topic i try to pactise every topic that i learned. but i though that it essentials certificate is not the real certificate and going to get A+ certificate. but now i am torn between getting A+ or effort on only practise (homelab , windows , AD, Windows server )
@texasyeeter7874
I figure it states you put in the time and it validates you know at least a certain amount. In my area i wasnt seeing much success with experience and no certs. I was one of those who didnt bother with certs and it was true in 2020 now i find im not getting callbacks so im im going through the entry level certs to refresh and i will report back if it helps. Just finished the full google IT cert too.
@TJ-qp8zg
I have a bachelors degree in cybersecurity and comptia security + but cant find any jobs :/
@kevinhaggins9114
300$ is not worth learning something new.
@SaintNicholasFan
I love you man. But I gotta be honest, this video is a giant heap of out of touch HR bullsheet. You're going on and on about how getting certs and education with zero experience is a red flag, yet you are talking about ENTRY LEVEL jobs. Why on earth should experience be a factor for a minimum wage entry level job? Then at the end of this video about how all this training and credentials are supposedly pointless, you close by trying to sell us a bootcamp? Really? Have some self-awareness man. You're better than this.
