I'm rooting for you! I've been applying for similar positions and haven't had much luck, so go out there and make it happen! Knock it out of the park!
You might want to brush up on specific tools and concepts like ExpressRoute, route servers, NVAs, and Terraform—definitely relevant for the role. For networking specifics, understand BGP, effective route usage, resource limits, and route summarization as well. All of these could come up.
Wishing you all the best for your interview! Go show them what you're made of!
Good luck with your interview! You've got this!
When prepping for your interview, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of core technical concepts, but don't stress about knowing everything! Interviewers often start with technical questions and will keep digging until they find something you're unsure about. Just be honest; saying 'I don’t know' is totally fine. Focus on these key areas:
- Your learning process and eagerness to adapt.
- Demonstrating a growth mindset.
- Communication skills—how do you manage customer interactions, even tough ones?
- Your approach to problem-solving.
Relax and remember, the interviewers have all been in your shoes. This is also your chance to ask them questions, so be sure to engage! Good luck!
Totally agree! Just be yourself and show what you've got!
Exactly! They want to see how you approach challenges, not just your technical know-how.
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely make sure to go over those topics!
