I need to start studying for aws devops pro and azure certs.
The cloud game don changed, you need more than basic certs to get noticed now. Multi cloud and pro certs seem to be the way cuz I got Aws sa and dev at the start of the year, and got like one phone call despite multiple applications.
I had the impression recruiters would come flooding. However corona definitely dried up the number of jobs. My LinkedIn notifications for new cloud roles had way way fewer jobs during March/April/May than pre-corona. Seems to be picking back up tho.
The Corona situation got nikkas slacking like a mugtho
I thought I would take advantage of working from home. Improved my JavaScript but my efficiency been flabby asf
You haven't been working on any cloud projects lol. I finished 3 and have been getting alot of hits for devops jobs.

We use TF at my company. I only been using terraform for simple security group and subnet changes in aws so far. My plan is to get more involved with it this month and onward because its pretty important to know.
i think a bulk of my lack of luck trying to find a job is perhaps i come off desperate. But honestly I am. I want a new job bad, financially i'm not secure. I want a position that helps me learn more and i grow to love in this industry that i've saw as a potential fit for my passion.
I know my resume doesn't reflect that, I've been working with various services to highlight what I have done to show my transferrable skills...but still nothing.
I don't know what else I can do in the mean time. I do not yet have the certifications, and I fear stacking too many may shoot me in the foot. Once I complete this one certification, and god willing I pass the first go round, there's two certs that wouldn't take as much time to grasp the material that I seek to obtain within the next 2 months and then I embark on ITIL v4. But I'm hoping in the mean time i could get some type of job...
maybe i should just start from bottom and get a minimum wage help desk role. May go completely bankrupt, but at this rate it's my only option.

Not sure where you at but look for a gov help desk job. Got my sec+ and The pay is decent plus you can get a security clearance on top.
Certifications may be the single most overrated aspect about IT

Have been looking for some cloud projects to work on. What were the 3 projects you worked on and do you have a link to them? I need something I can throw on the resume.
I live in Canada, and I already have 3 government clearances (Secret - federal, general - provincial and about to obtain an enhanced one if this manager can pull off a shadowing opportunity for my jobs SOC)
I honestly think it’s my location. I see so many jobs in dc that I could probably try my luck, but sponsorships are hard to get. Not impossible, but fukking hard under y’all fukkboy of a president.
once I get this sec+ I do pray opportunities start to come to me
Thanks for this
They will!!! You got this, just be patient and ready because it's coming...

Maaaannn the sign of recessions are there. My job is doing heavy into cross training. I like it but I think they are doing it to reduce risk.
My ass is taking advantage and preparing for the worse.

Can you link to any and how did you list the projects on your resume?
I’m thinking of doing for the networking material I’m studying as well as the aws material next year
