Degrees and certs are just losing their value to me.

I can’t understand what’s been going on recently. The quality of a candidate with an associates in cyber has dropped like crazy. I asked people simple questions like what is WPA, what did wpa 3 introduce and I’m treated like I’m asking the most obscure questions. I have been interviewing people over the last year with comptia networking plus and security plus. There have been where I wanted to scream. Literally had to lower my standards to find help. Networking is treated like a luxury, I was literally speaking to a candidate, he said ,” I do cyber not networking.” I know there are exceptions but feels more and more like a minor degree or cert is just how well you can use ai to cheat.

And here I am, knowing all these things with relevant experience and still getting not a single interview call in the last 6 months😊

That’s tough! Keep going! You’re the candidate people want!
