Entry level career in IT,or in cyber

[mzuzux]

For entry level help desk support etc, or even service desk support. You could get lucky and an employer will take you on with no experience, that would be your foot in the door ‘so to speak’ but if you want some basic certs look at

(IT) Information Technology Certifications | CompTIA IT Certifications

This will be a good starting point I guess your biggest issue with be salary if you earn an ok salary now to move into a service desk role you might have to take a pay cut.

Once your in, start focusing your training into the specific areas you want to move into such as cybersecurity etc. (Cisco will be a good place to start, but there a loads of certs out there).

I’ve been a senior network engineer in IT for almost 20 years.

Thanks, I have done/passed a ISC2 Certified in Cyber. I am going to make attempt to Comptia A+/ Network+/ Security+ and in the process apply to entry level positions see what comes of it.

sounds like a plan mate, it's tough to get your foot in the door, but anything will be a good start if you can convince your employer to pay for training and your exams you're onto a winner, as they are bloody expensive!

Please advise if you have any experience in area on how to go about this. Anything will help.

See if you can find some "user groups" near by to wherever you are in the world. By that I mean your local Linux User Group, PHP group, Python group etc etc. Such places are typically very casual and welcoming, and in spending time there you will see interesting things and rub shoulders with interesting people. Sometimes it's not always what you know it's who.......Not only that, if you have an interest and an enthusiasm for these kind of things, it will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Additionally, if you can find some time to contribute in some way to Free and/or Open-Source projects in any way whatsoever (not necessarily technical), this speaks volumes about your interest and enthusiasm.
