⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid generic statements about DevOps without linking them to energy or IoT contexts.
  • Don't overlook security; failing to mention encryption, access controls, or compliance can be a red flag.
  • Steer clear of overpromising on skills; be honest about your experience level with specific tools.
