Breaking into the tech industry without prior experience can seem daunting, but with the right approach, you can land a job in cybersecurity, IT, or development. Here’s how:

You Should Know:

1. Learn the Basics

  • Start with foundational IT skills:
    Linux basics 
    ls, cd, pwd, mkdir, rm, cp, mv 
    Networking basics 
    ping google.com 
    ifconfig/ipconfig 
    netstat -tuln 
    

2. Get Certified

  • Free or low-cost certifications:
  • Google IT Support Professional Certificate (Coursera)
  • CompTIA A+ (Hardware/OS basics)
  • Cisco CCNA (Networking)

3. Hands-On Practice

  • Set up a home lab:
    Create a virtual lab using VirtualBox/Kali Linux 
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install virtualbox -y 
    
  • Try Hack The Box or TryHackMe for cybersecurity practice.

4. Build a Portfolio

  • GitHub repositories with scripts:
    Simple Python port scanner 
    import socket 
    target = "192.168.1.1" 
    for port in range(1, 100): 
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) 
    if s.connect_ex((target, port)) == 0: 
    print(f"Port {port} is open") 
    s.close() 
    

5. Network & Apply

  • Engage in tech communities (LinkedIn, Discord, Reddit).
  • Tailor your resume with keywords like “Cybersecurity,” “IT Support,” “Python Scripting.”

Prediction:

The demand for entry-level IT roles will grow as companies prioritize digital security and automation. Self-taught professionals with hands-on skills will have a competitive edge.

What Undercode Say:

  • Linux Commands for Security:
    nmap -sV 192.168.1.1  Scan open ports 
    tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap  Packet capture 
    chmod 600 sensitive_file.txt  Restrict file access 
    
  • Windows IT Commands:
    Get-NetTCPConnection  Check active connections 
    Test-NetConnection google.com  Network diagnostics 
    
  • Key Takeaway: Persistence + practical skills > formal degrees in tech.

Expected Output:

A structured self-learning path leading to job-ready skills in IT or cybersecurity.
