INTERVIEW PREPARATION
Treat the skills below as talking points, not a checklist — you'll be asked to go deeper on each:
- Security — “Talk me through a risk you decided NOT to fix, and how you justified that decision.”
- Networking — “Walk me through a routing or segmentation decision you had to defend to someone who wanted everything flat.”
- Splunk — “Come prepared to show how you'd build a dashboard someone will act on rather than glance at.”
5-10 years of relevant experience is what this posting is looking for, which means answers grounded in a specific project and a specific outcome will land better than a general summary of responsibilities.
