I have been applying to job after job after job since last December trying to find some sort of remote work opportunity in the IT field. I just recently finished up my undergrad degree in April and I am trying to move onto a better opportunity that pays the worth of me having my degree. Any advice?

Big 4 and also checkout built in. I am going to say it’s harder to find a remote job when you’re fresh in the industry. I’ve been through it

I would tend to agree being fresh out

Depends what types of roles are you looking for?

I’d broaden the search to beyond just remote work. A lot of companies are moving to hybrid schedules. I’m addition, what are you looking for within IT? IT is a broad umbrella term. For instance, if you’re wanting to go into security or networking or cloud work, you’re going to want to beef up that resume with some certifications. Maybe you’re looking into development you need to build a portfolio/list of projects. My point is, narrow down what you want to do and focus on improving your resume for that specific sector of IT.

For starters, I’d look at the comptia sec+. You really need to pick a sector, and then look at the job requisites. What are they asking for? Most entry level security positions likely have sec+ on there. In addition, a lot of companies are migrating components into cloud platforms. I’d look into certs from azure or aws to set you apart from other new grads. Good luck!

Hello! I noticed some similar questions to the one I am about to ask and I apologize if I am being repetitive but I didn’t see this specifically (I am new so sorry if I am missing it). I am a RN and have been for 15 years. I was looking to transition into health tech but has been a bit more challenging than I expected. So, I have been working on trying to get in as a SDR but I am also taking a course for my PMP certification. Is this of value or should I focus on something else?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
