You passed the certification, you're applying, and you're still not getting hired. Here's what's actually happening: the cert gets you the interview it doesn't get you the job.
In this video I break down why an IT certification opens the door but doesn't walk you through it, what happens once you're in that interview room, and why I got my first IT role in computer operations even though the posting never asked for a CCNA. If you can't answer the basics DHCP, DNS, TCP the cert on your resume won't save you.
I also get into why people with no IT background at all end up in these same entry level roles, and what that should tell you about how hiring actually works.
