Need to gain cybersecurity experience for an entry level job?

I was able to gain experience through creating a SIEM project which was shown to the SOC manager at my current job (I don’t have a security job currently) and now he is mentoring me and giving me access to the same training his team has.

I want to extend this to those who may be struggling to gain real world experience, specifically for SOC analyst roles, to place on your resume:
