How Can I Get an Entry Level Cyber Security Job?
Getting a cyber security job requires, above all, expertise in information technology, most often gained through a degree program in computer science, information technology, or a related field. Additional helpful qualifications include industry certification, of which there are numerous types and levels offered by a wide array of vendors; choosing one close to your cyber security specialty can go a long way to setting yourself ahead of other job seekers. Even for entry-level positions, employers prefer candidates with experience, so you should document any university projects or internships you undertook while a student, highlighting especially any leadership roles. You must have superb technology skills, communications skills, and the ability to manage complex systems across a wide variety of operating environments.

What are entry level IT security jobs?
I have a bachelor's in computer applications, and a post-grad honors in cybersecurity and project management with a security+ and CAPM. It still feels like hopeless for me to get my foot in either of the specialized fields. I have been applying since January and have applied to almost 70+ jobs in the Toronto region and so far have not even interviewed so far. Not even internships or co-ops interviewed me. How do I get my foot in? I am looking for direction and guidance. Thank you.
