 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a part of the industry candidates are clambering to get into. How best to secure your first DevOps role, though? Here are some my tips.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Learn the basics of how to code.<\/strong> Python and Ruby are versatile and a useful place to start \u2013 they can be used on any operating system. Take an online course or update your skills.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Get social.<\/strong> Head to meet ups, join LinkedIn groups, network with other DevOps engineers\u2026 Find the people who are passionate about DevOps and do your utmost to learn from them and socialize with them. You\u2019ll find your skills develop quickly, and you\u2019ll also be privy to the evolving trends and opportunities in the space.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Practice!<\/strong> It\u2019s no use having skills you don\u2019t keep current when the industry is changing every day. You need to stay on top of the shifting trends and developments in the game. Being social will help you do this, but you also have to make an effort to follow blogs, news publications and other resources to keep on top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Check out some open online courses.<\/strong> Coursera, Udacity and EdX are some of the courses I recommend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Wear different hats.<\/strong> If you\u2019re starting off, you probably don\u2019t want to specialize too quickly. Start-ups with a DevOps culture may be a good starting point to develop all-rounder skills and experience that can be applied and furthered in more specialist roles down the track.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Learn the free stuff.<\/strong> There\u2019s loads of educational and software tools in the open market. Wrap your head around the resources out there and put aside a few hours a week to make the most of these. Not only is it quality stuff for your CV, it\u2019s a great way to broaden your horizons, understand the possibilities and tailor answers in interviews (down the track) to the fact that you\u2019re well versed in lots of technical specialties and areas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
