"As you can see from my resume, I don't have any direct working experience with the financial industry and I would see that as my largest learning opportunity if offered this position. Like I did with my current job in the healthcare industry, I would take the time to learn the basics of the industry that would help me design the most intuitive user interfaces in the products here at Amazon AWS."

Fully understanding AWS services and how they can help customers would be the biggest challenge for me. Even though I have my AWS certification, having expert knowledge of services helps build customer trust and confidence in AWS. I plan to continue my pursuit of earning every certification AWS has to offer. This would ensure that I am well-qualified and ready to tackle the most complex environments.
