Comptia has cert blaster courses you can take to renew your cert. I havnt used it yet cause I just passed sec+ this year but push comes to shove you could knock that out just to renew your existing certs.

Nah I only failed by 4 points and part of it was because the first three questions were supposed to be simulated scan results to review except the first question didn't have any damn scan results to view
They're pretty similar tbh

Thats good to know. Good luck fam. You got this
During interviews, what do I say when they ask, "Why are you leaving you current role?"
Honestly, it's because I don't do much work anymore, I'm not learning anything, and fate of the company is unknown at this time. How do I phrase that into a good answer?

I memorize tons of canned responses from job hunting blogs like the one below. Once you gain enough experience companies cease asking you dumb ass questions like these.
How to Answer This Interview Question: Why Do You Want to Leave Your Current Job? (with Sample Answers!) - Job-Hunt.org
Some of the most common, and easiest to explain, reasons for leaving a job include:
- Desire to learn.
- Desire to take on more responsibility.
- Desire to take on less responsibility.
- Desire to relocate.
- Desire for a career change.
- Desire to gain a new skill or grow a current skill.
- Company reorganization has led to change in job content.
- Desire for a shorter commute to work.
- Desire to improve work/life balance.

So you took CySA+?Yeah, Mine expire on Oct 2nd. So im gonna retake my CySA+ again on the 30th. If I fail again
I just took mines again this weekend... failed it by ONE fukking question again. Same score, it's bullshyt. I took it last weekend too and failed by one question. I was supposed to take it this past Tuesday but they said "something was wrong with my exam" and rescheduled me to Saturday because I don't think they wanted me to take the same exam again...
So they ended up rescheduling me again with a totally new test and when I failed by one question this time I almost flipped out... this is the THIRD time with Comptia fukking me over with the same score on an exam...
It wasn't hard just wasn't easy and the only reason is because they give you more than one correct answer and try to trick you with it. I'm debating on whether or not to try again... it was a completely different exam they gave me this time too. The labs are kinda tough too... I just want it over with so I can move on to other shyt

took CySA+ twice... got the same score of 733/750
fukking bullshyt... Sec+ was 730 too... all at the same testing location.
They completely switched my CySA+ to a totally different exam 2nd time too... I remembered maybe like 5 questions from the first one, second one was shyt I never seen before. Still took it just took more time to read through every bullshyt paragraph where there was more than one answer you just had to "choose the BEST one"...
shyt had me livid.

Desktop Support is IT purgatory....If you've been in help desk for a while you might need to up your skill set..what interests/certs do you have?
Damn. If desktop is purgatory then whats helpdesk lol. I got a+ and Security+ ( working on cysa) As far as interest I wanted go in the security side but I down to slow up on that if theres another path to get me off helpdesk.
