Hi, I’m currently looking for entry-level opportunities in cybersecurity (SOC Analyst, Security Analyst, or Penetration Tester).

I have 1 year of internship experience in cybersecurity and network/system administration, plus relevant certifications and hands-on lab practice.

I’ve been actively job hunting for around 2 months now, but I still haven’t had much luck so far.

If may alam kayo na companies currently hiring fresh grads or entry-level roles in these areas, I would really appreciate any leads or recommendations.

Thank you po huhu

I already have 1 year of experience accumulated as a cybersecurity and network and system admin intern and has multiple certifications to validate na may solid foundation ako. May hands-on skills ako through trainings, labs, and internship experience. Until now, continuously nagpa-practice through hands-on labs and self-study.

Pero kahit ganun, hirap pa rin ako makahanap ng work na suitable talaga sa background ko. Halos lahat ng inaapplyan ko require agad ng 2+ years of experience. Even sa mga postings na open for fresh graduates, nahihirapan pa rin ako as someone na graduating student pa lang.

I believe I already have a good background and practical experience naman through internships, certifications, and continuous learning, pero sobrang challenging pa rin makapasok sa industry.

Sa mga nasa cybersecurity field ngayon, normal lang ba talaga yung ganito kahirap maghanap ng entry-level role? Any advice for aspiring cybersecurity professionals or fresh grads trying to break into the industry?
