Started from the Bottom: How to Plan Your First 5 Years in IT
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your first five years in IT can make or break your career. In this video, I’m sharing my personal roadmap — the lessons I learned, the mistakes I made, and the moves that helped me grow from entry-level to networking.
Whether you’re just starting out or already a couple of years in, this episode will give you practical advice to plan your IT journey with confidence.
🔑 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why certifications + patience help you land your first role
✅ How mentors and encouragement can shape your career path
✅ Why adaptability and soft skills matter just as much as technical skills
✅ How stepping-stone jobs build momentum toward your dream role
✅ The habits that define long-term success in IT
✅ Why you should embrace responsibility instead of avoiding it
