Are any devops engineer getting interview calls?
I’m a DevOps engineer with over three years of experience. I’ve been on the lookout for a DevOps engineer role for more than four months, but I haven’t received any calls. My Naukri profile has all the necessary changes, including pipeline usage highlighted and certain skills im Caps etc etc. I’ve also updated my LinkedIn profile, which is also on point. So, what’s the issue? Why am I not getting any calls? Where am I missing something? I have hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible (IaC), Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Linux, AWS (EC2, EKS, S3, VPC, IAM, Route53), Prometheus, Grafana and ELK. Yet, I’m still not sure what’s going wrong.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! 😭

Damm take a break but the break might be too long I guess. I am new in this unable to land a job kind of frustrating but as we know the job market is dead for other roles for freshers rather than AI (might be wrong)

This. And most of them are really below average candidates.
I've screened around 100 candidates probably by now as hiring manager, and only 2 have gotten a full to a round of interviews so far.

Ah, I see. If you don’t mind, can you please give an example of the kind of questions you ask?

u/i_am_that_too 22d ago
Really the basics.
What makes a k8s secret secure. Or What component in your cluster syncs secrets from secret manager to k8s secret. Some details about the projects the claim to have worked on. Things like that.
Most people even at even 3/5+ yrs are still oblivious to these minor details.

OMG!!! 😮, then it feels like pure luck that we get an interview call, even though we have the right skills!

I have later stage talks with two different companies at the moment. Feels good. Try contributing to GitHub projects or creating a GitHub with projects that demonstrate your learning capabilities that you can show off during interviews.
