⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Applying without tailoring your resume to emphasize Azure and automation skills; generic DevOps resumes are easily spotted.
  • Overlooking the C#/.NET requirement – failing to mention any experience with these languages can hurt your chances.
  • Not preparing for scenario-based questions on IaC and CI/CD; vague answers about 'using Terraform' without specifics won't impress.
