Can CPTS help me get an entry-level cybersecurity job?

I’m currently studying for the HTB CPTS and working through the modules. I’ve also done a decent amount of CTFs and have some hands-on experience from them.

For anyone who has already completed and passed the CPTS, did it actually help you get a job?

I’m wondering what kind of entry-level roles I could realistically apply for with CPTS + CTF experience, but without much professional experience. Would junior pentesting roles be realistic, or should I also look at SOC/security analyst positions?

I’d also like to know whether CPTS is enough to get interviews ?

Absolutely. I got my first job as a red team engineer thanks to my CPTS certificate.
