Hi all, Looking for advice.

I'm looking for a career change and would like to get in to cybersecurity or IT sales. I do have computer skills and sales skills. Just not sure where to start or what level of jobs I should apply for?

Any advice on direction I should be going? Thank you!

Will they even consider me for an experienced hire a year or two down the road if they showed no interest this time? Any advice welcome!
