Chapter 17: Interview Questions and Job Readiness
17.14 Lab / Practice — mock interview
Lab
Run a personal mock interview.
- Print or open a sheet with Q1, Q2, Q15, Q21, Q27, Q36, Q40, Q45, Q51, Q54.
- Answer aloud in English; keep each under two minutes.
- After each answer, write one improvement note (missing example, too vague, too tool-flag heavy).
- Re-record Q51 and Q54 until Detect→Evidence→Action→Follow-up feels natural.
- Update your capstone README "Interview talk track" (90 seconds) from Chapter 16.
Practice task
Write your own answers (not copied) to: (a) Terraform vs Ansible, (b) why SHA tags, (c) disk full incident using monitoring + logging chapters. Keep each answer ≤ 8 lines.

- Interviews reward clear process stories plus lab evidence — not flag karaoke.
- Know CI/CD vocabulary, Git hygiene, Docker basics, Ansible vs Terraform, golden signals, and kind/k8s core objects.
- Scenario answers: detect → evidence → action → follow-up; never log or commit secrets.
- First 90 days = learn systems, improve docs/alerts, small reliable changes.
- Portfolio = GitHub + README + runbook + screenshots; no PDFs required on this site; link AWS/Cyber for depth.
- Practise 10 core answers in your own words with a badge API example each.
