Before your interview, do some research to understand what tech stack Amazon AWS uses so you can best prepare and highlight your expertise. If you aren't as strong in one of the skills you feel is necessary, be sure to explain how you've used it and how you are growing your knowledge to become better. Be sure to be honest in your answer, as the company will likely test your strengths.

"In my last company, we had a bit of an outdated tech stack and used C# and .NET. I found myself fully immersed in those technologies, but had a strong desire to learn more and become more familiar with modern technologies and how I can apply that in my career. That's what has me so interested in this role. Over the last year, I've taken courses in Java and C, which I noticed you prefer. I've become proficient in the skills and in side projects, applied my increasingly strong knowledge. I'm probably strongest professionally in C# as that has been where my experience lies, but my passion and dedication is on the Java and C side, as I feel that's the more modern alternative. I'm excited about the possibility of applying that knowledge in a role at Amazon AWS."

Starting out in my career, I never considered myself a programmer until I was placed in a role that allowed me to experience work redundancy firsthand. I encountered the same repetitive tasks every hour, being sent to the same handful of people. From a fulfillment perspective, this was a nightmare. I began exploring the possibility of creating a program that would automatically complete these tasks. Soon, Python would come to be my best friend. I searched Google, watched YouTube videos, and invested in courses. All of this training taught me how to use Python to web scrape, take that data and deliver it via email. This saved me time and energy that I could use elsewhere. Since then, I have dived deep into programming and developed a passion for application development. I have learned and developed an understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, and Automation. These are skills will allow me to understand and deliver the best that the AWS customer's infrastructure has to offer.
Rachelle's Feedback
You offer good detail here; however, if you start your response on a more positive tone and avoid 'burying the lead,' your answer may be better received. If you are stronger in Python (I am guessing from your response), then begin with that, and then discuss how you gained the experience.
