In this video, I talk about how easy it is to find a job after getting my Bachelor's in IT from WGU. Even if you don't have prior experience, there are things you can do to increase your chances of employability. I give a few examples with some sample resumes with some ideas for self-manufactured experience.

Hey everybody, we're going to keep up the Q&A trend and answer a question about finding a job after WGU, specifically in IT.
This question is from AA CC, and I believe this was left on one of my WGU videos. AA CC Writes:
FROM VIDEO: How to get a degree in 6 months
This is an incredibly simple question but requires a somewhat complicated answer. To answer succinctly, "no", after getting my bachelors degree, it has never been hard for me to find a job.
But I honestly can't really attribute my employability to the WGU bachelor's. Having the Bachelor's certainly helped! But by the time I graduated from WGU, my resume already looked like this.
(Josh resume from 2013)
Now compare this with a resume of someone who Just completed the plain bachelors at WGU with no other IT experience (Certs included with standard bachelors, Mcdonalds Job, GED)
Now compare this with a resume of someone who just completed the BSITM with no other experience (no Certs BSITM) (prepare B-roll get experience without a job)
(BTW, these sample resumes are in the description)
Talk about these three resumes
Talk about some jobs requiring a BS, but half of them really don't. Talk about federal jobs and the military.
