DevOps Engineer

Interview advice

Going for the DevOps role at Barclays? A few things that help freshers walk in prepared:

• Be ready to sketch a simple CI/CD pipeline and to name the tools you have actually touched — even a college project counts.
• Rehearse "tell me about yourself" out loud in about 60 seconds — education, one standout achievement, why this role — instead of reciting your CV top to bottom.
• Put numbers on your achievements: "8.5/10 GPA", "cut load time by 40%", "led a team of four" lands far better than "good grades" or "hard-working".
• For a virtual interview, test your internet, camera and mic in advance, sit somewhere quiet and well-lit, and still dress formally — it signals you are serious.
• Prepare two or three thoughtful questions to ask them about the team, the work and growth; "I have no questions" reads as low interest.
