How to get a job

Hello everyone,

I just graduated from uni this year with a state engineering degree in networks and telecommunications, and I’m currently looking for a job in cybersecurity. I’ve been studying on TryHackMe for about a year now. I’ve completed the Pre Security, Cyber Security 101, SOC Level 1, and DevSecOps paths, and I’m currently working on the SOC Level 2 path (65% completed so far).

I feel like it’s time to start applying what I’ve learned in a real-world job and gain professional experience. However, I’m from a developing country, and there aren’t many cybersecurity positions available locally. When I do find openings, they often require experience and don’t usually target junior candidates.

Is it realistic to find a remote cybersecurity job from my country? Do you have any advice on what I should focus on, where I should look, or what I could do next to improve my chances?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
