I wrapped up my Master’s in Cybersecurity in October 2025. Since then I’ve been freelancing, doing some cybersecurity training work, and applying for jobs. No luck yet.
My major challenge is the entry level listing requiring 2+ years, NV1 clearance.
I’m not asking for a favour. Just an honest opportunity to prove myself.

If you’re hiring or know someone who is, I’m open to IT Support, IT Analyst, GRC, or Cybersecurity roles in Melbourne. No sponsorship required, no restrictions.

You are in that difficult middle ground. A masters degree in Cyber Security without actual experience in an IT company or consultancy is about as much use as speaking German in New Zealand - sure someone might be interested but they will be rare.

But of course you've got a masters so entry level IT support will overlook you because you'll stay 12 months (just long enough for them to remember your name) and you'll be off.

Best bet is to apply for grad roles at a consulting firm and get some experience that you can leverage
