Re: WGU BS IT SEC - No more CCNA??!
As far as my mentor has told me the CCNA is not moving. It looks like it was missed in the class section but not the class list. If you add the credits up it comes to 122. I am not a fan of WGU moving exams around like they are. The only draw for me was the certs otherwise I'd have gone to UAT for almost the same cost. The… -
Re: Applying for Positions in Different States?
I was applying for jobs at private companies working as a contractor for the government, which in this matter is significantly different than working for the government/military. The military (and perhaps the government, I don't know) moves their people, but I had to pay my own expenses in all of these potential moves.… -
Re: Master Degree Program Evaluation
I completed my MS in Cybersecurity from WGU in December 2017. As far as the learning, from my experience in cybersecurity I knew probably 75-80% of the material. This allowed me to progress quickly in several of the classes, where as soon as the class unlocked I would go straight to the evaluations. I did learn some… -
Re: WGU Not NSA or Homeland Security Approved?
Maybe so...but you will not be met with any hostility from me. I encourage everyone to seek out and choose the school that best meets their needs. What I alluded to in my previous post was the fact that NSA/DHS endorsement is not an essential requirement for many of us who are considering furthering their careers,… -
Re: Resume review for career change!
Very good information. I will try some formatting suggestions and see what it looks like. I have always been unsure how/if I should separate my active time from my national guard time in the experience section. I had full time jobs when I was guard so the dates always look confusing. What are the rules for this in a… -
Re: No certifications, education, or experience
Look at the Microsoft MTA's, depending on where you are starting these might be too basic. Also the CompTIA IT Fundamentals or Cisco IT Essentials. That training eases you into IT, and can still be worthwhile if it seems a bit simple, since it can build your confidence. From there, (or if you've got more advanced… -
Re: It's too difficult - mind set
Can I add 'understanding' the material makes the exam easier? You can know the answers to the questions. But, do you know why it's the answer? When you know why something is done, you can think through the process and come up with the answer. It's like knowing the answer to a math problem. It's fine and dandy, but you know… -
Re: Kind of on the edge of finishing my degree vs not finishing it
as others stated, I'd say finish it! There is no point in abandoning it when you're this close to completing it. I hope the tuition reimbursement from your job helps get you closer to completing it :D I like others was naive when I started my career path, I was lucky and landed a job in a startup SOC, and it was a great… -
Re: All CompTIA pricing is scheduled to increase as of January 1st, 2015
Vendor neutral certs may give you a foundation and vendor specific certifications are more specific to what a job entails to a certain extent. I think that vendor neutral certs are good in the fact that you constantly have to keep up to date on the technology. I have to pay Annual Maintenance Fees and keep your continuing… -
Re: Need Preperation suggestion for my CISSP exam Dec 2016
I like this strategy, I think I'm going to steal most of it :D. Like yourself I tend to do better under pressure (code for I procrastinate & create false pressure), but I'm vowing not to do that this time. For the past couple of days really months I have been tossing around taking the CEH or CISSP and after passing the…
