Certifications are excellent at showcasing knowledge of key principles. If an employer needs to see real-world application, I highly recommend starting a Medium blog about CTI. Map an intrusion to the Diamond Model. Write about an APT and your mitigation recommendations. This shows field experience without needing an official title.
If you're just starting your cybersecurity journey, don't start with CTI certs. Hit me up for more tailored advice.
