Anyone know why I keep getting declined from entry level help desk, IT Support, IT Support technician Desktop Support, Desktop technician, Junior Cybersecurity Analyst, Junior Pentesting, any entry level cybersecurity / IT job you can think of won’t even hire me.
This is my resume and I was wondering if my resume is the reason I’m not getting these jobs?
I applied a bunch of entry level IT Support, IT Support technician Desktop Support, Desktop technician, Junior Cybersecurity Analyst, Junior Pentesting, any entry level cybersecurity / IT job and they keep denying me when I can do the help desk work in my sleep won’t hire me when I know how to troubleshute computers since I’ve been working with computers for 12 years of my life and I’m always working on one every day. You can ask me anything about a computer how to do anything literally and I can tell you right away how to do it yet I write all the skills sets I have that apply to help desk jobs yet I still can’t get a job in help desk and I graduated college with a 3.37 GPA / 4.0 in cybersecurity and have certifications I’ve gotten through my courses and I know how to do anything with networks and set up VPN, I know the difference between router and modems and switches and set up multiple in my home and set up Ethernet and policies on the wifi router settings through the browser and even set up firewalls before and know how to install windows on computer and troubleshute any issues on a computer that’s running windows 10/11, Linux or even MacOS that may be causing blue screens and crashing the computer and updating the bios and I know what ever setting in a bios of a computer does to a computer literally anything computer or tech related I know yet I’ve applied to over 40 help desk jobs with my resume that was approved by my college career center who looked it over and said it was really good and was even in the same format they wanted me to write it in and yet still keep getting declined by all these companies.
Not even Best Buy geek squad and Best Buy repair technician will hire me and they keep denying me when I applied to multiple different locations and I’ve built 5 PC in the past 5 years from scratch and I even upgraded laptop ram and storage to taking it apart from the bottom and adding more ram and storage to it. I’m very knowledgeable and passionate about computers they are what I work with every day yet I still get denied by all these companies and they don’t even tell me why. I’m just so lost RN since I’ve been graduated from college for a while now and I’ve been applying to entry level help desk jobs and entry level cybersecurity jobs for the past 2 months and still keep getting denied and I’m just so lost right now what I’m doing wrong since I have the experience both personally from my own time invested into this and my own knowledge and experience and the jobs I am at right now I literally to IT trouble shooting for customers that come in to the tech area at my store. I guess what I’m saying is I just need a company to give me a chance so I can show them what I can do if they actually put me in a real help desk scenario or gave me like a trial run I can show them how good I’d be at it and how well I can actually do the job.
Also, the only job I was able to get an interview for was Apple specialist roles at a Apple retail store. Idk if it’s a good job to have for getting an entry level help desk, IT support desktop technician desktop support Junior cybersecurity analyst any job that is entry level for Cybersecurity but it’s like the only option I have right now and pays well over what all these entry level IT jobs are paying so even if I did get a entry level cybersecurity / IT job I’d be taking a significant pay cut.
I applied to Apple for specialist role in the meantime since I’ve applied to roughly around 200 Cybersecurity jobs both on indeed, linked in, handshake and via company websites and the new ones I applied to I applied to the other day so I haven’t heard back from them yet and I only had a few that I did interviews for but they were the one way interviews and I haven’t heard back from them yet but I’d say in all the jobs I applied to in the past 2 months or so I only got 2 interviews out of them.
Come now I looked back at the jobs I did apply to and a lot of them required 2-4 years of experience for entry level positions so I’m assuming that’s why I didn’t get them but then again some of the jobs I applied to were 0-1 years of experience and I just keep getting declined from every job I apply to. I also just applied to some jobs a few days ago so I’m still waiting on those. Idk if it’s my resume or not cuz I got my resume checked by a career advisor at my college and I followed the format they gave me but I’m just looking for any entry level job really. I found a junior cybersecurity analyst job that had 0-1 year of experience haven’t heard back from that job and then I found 3 help desk jobs which it seems like help desk is my best option for a entry level job here cuz those I consistently see requiring 0-1 years of experience but it’s very rare to find those and all the IT support desktop support desktop technician roles all required 2-4 years or more years experience. I graduated in May and just looking for any entry level job.
