How to get a 100% remote cybersecurity job as a fresh college graduate? How to develop those skills and I have 0 years of experience
Hi everyone, I’m Vidhi, and I’m about to graduate from OSU Ecampus with a degree in Computer Science. As we all know, the job market is tough right now, especially for fresh graduates without strong industry experience. I’m very interested in securing a 100% remote cybersecurity role since there are no tech companies near me, and I prefer not to relocate. I understand that referrals and LinkedIn networking are key, but I also want to build the right skills and earn certifications that will make a strong impression on recruiters and increase my chances of getting hired. Any advice on the best skills to focus on or the most valuable cybersecurity certifications for entry-level roles? Which is better hackthebox or tryhackme. Are they even worth it? Do recruiters care?

St PaulThank You for the Support—Need Help Writing an Email to My Professor?
Hi everyone, I just wanted to thank all of you who took the time to offer me advice and support on my last post about my struggles in Organic Chemistry. I’ve decided to reach out to my professor to explain my circumstances and ask for possible ways to bump my grade. This semester has been extremely challenging for me, both academically and personally, and I want to communicate that in my email while staying professional and respectful. My plan is to: Share briefly how this semester has been tough for me. Ask if there’s a possibility of doing an extra assignment or project to improve my grade. Politely request if she could review my tests to see if there’s any way I might earn back points. The issue is, I’m really struggling with how to start and structure the email. I want to sound professional but also sincere. Does anyone have tips or examples of a sample email I could use as a guide? I’d really appreciate the help! Thanks in advance for any advice, and thank you again for all the encouragement. It means a lot!
