A cloud certification changes everything

A certification immediately grabs the attention of our cloud recruitment teams. Mention it at the very top. It lends credibility to your CV and shows your ability to be proactive.

“I'm also going to appreciate candidates who have passed a certification around a cloud tech, even a basic one, like AZ900, for example.”

List your technical skills, even if not cloud-related


You may not have cloud experience, but you still have experience. For example, have you automated tasks with Python or set up a network architecture? These are the basics that count.
Use your cloud-related experience, such as deployment, security, management of complex environments, and more. Show us that you understand what's at stake and are keen to develop your skills. That's invaluable to us.
"As a priority, I like ‘cloud’ profiles, of course, that’s people with training and internship experience in that field. I'm also really interested in career paths that are closer to the cloud, such as IT infrastructure". - Rémi, recruiter at Orange

Showcase your soft skills

Working in the cloud also means:
  • collaborating remotely with your team(s)
  • adaptability
  • managing priorities
  • istening and explaining

Can you do all this? Say so on your CV. Your soft skills are as much in demand as your tools.

Make your experience clear and tangible

Write down what you've done, not just your title. “Cloud engineer” is a start, but there's more you can do to showcase your cloud skills on your CV.
Simply list what you've done in your assignments. For example, “deployed a multi- cloud infrastructure using Terraform” and “managed an Azure migration project in six weeks”. It's an invaluable way of getting the cloud recruitment team to contact you.
“If you don't yet have professional experience in the cloud, you can demonstrate your interest by having worked on a home automation project (even a personal one) using Raspberry Pi, or by having set up a NAS*” - Rémi, recruiter at Orange
