I know it’s been a while everyone but this GCP series is BACK! This past Monday I had my mentoring session. We talked about Google Cloud Next conference which happened last week. In my summary email to her, I discussed that GCP Cloud Skills Boost is now a subscription and I emailed GCP to see how many exam vouchers I would receive with the annual subscription.

Sidebar — In my two previous GCP blog posts, which GCP certifications I should take were discussed. Not all certifications were created equal. You can read them here.

The conversation then shifted to my job search and how I was looking at both full-time and seasonal cloud jobs. I mean those seasonal opportunities could serve as stepping stones for full-time, direct hire opportunities. She was proud of me for that.

Then my mentor requested that I send her my follow-up email that I sent HR after my interviews to see if I am coming across as the best candidate for a job.

Next, she asked me if I wanted to be put back in touch with the GCP Cloud Engineer to talk about his job.

Of course! I mean, the most informational interviews the merrier.
