Job Market Seems to Be Opening Up Again!
I've been getting more interview calls recently, and after months of silence., it’s a relief! Things are looking better out there. Keep building your skills and applying, guys. Patience does pay off!
For context:
I have about 5 years of experience in the IT field, currently working as a security analyst (contract role) for the past 6 months. I've been applying for analyst roles at junior/mid-level positions open to hybrid and remote setups.
Certifications I’ve done so far include CEH, CCNA, AWS Practitioner, and Splunk Essentials.
What’s been your experience with job hunting lately? Let’s help each other out!

Your experience and certs align perfectly for SOC or even threat intelligence roles.

I don't know how you do it. I am not getting a single call for tech roles although I'm in IT. All roles are for customer service and bpo.
