Hey everyone - I am trying to get an entry level position in cyber / info security. Got my BS Cyber and Info Security in 2021. Have 5+ YoE in IT Support. Based in Chicago. Anyone willing to provide a referral or share advice on how to get in? I am applying daily on LinkedIn and Indeed but barely getting interviews. Appreciate any help.

Try focusing on a specific domain, like identity and access management. Look for user admin roles. It’s easier to get your foot in the door if you move from first level support into second level. From there you can move onto other areas.
