I've been working with a career coach for a few months. She’s been helping me plan what certifications and networking groups to research, fixing up my resume and teaching me how to sell myself in an IT market. Since I’d be doing a full on career change (I do admin for government departments), one of my tasks is to start researching roles that I could apply for to get my foot in the door.
The issue is a lot of the jobs I’ve been searching for either require the credentials I won’t have for another year or two, or not typically something someone transitioning in would get so fast. For those who transitioned into IT, what were/are some roles someone in this position can apply for to at least get some foundational experience and still be able to build on their skills? Particularly I want to become a SOC analyst in the next year after I get my Sec+. The researching part of where to start has just been a challenge.
Sorry for this being long winded.
