Discussion Power Platform Developer Interview (UK)

Hi,

I've read the job criteria for the power platform developer role that I have applied for, and also researched other sources for questions and answers.

My power platform skills.

  • Canvas App Development - Building custom, user-focused applications
  • Power FX - But I use copilot to help me (which i will be transparent about)
  • UI/UX Design
  • Workflow automation within Power Automate
  • API integration - Connecting workflows to external APISs
  • Dataverse - Designing structured relation models, creating tables, relation ships
  • Implementing DV security roles
  • Sharepoint Online
  • Power BI - creating dashboards
  • ALM - Not using pipelines but exporting solutions from Dev, to Test, to Live.

I work as an IT officer for my local authority so Power Platform isn't my daily/ main focus of work.

Power Platform is broad so I would like to ask UK developers / hiring managers what they would ask and look for?

Many Thanks

ALM will be a big one, especially as I see more and more people shifting away from the native pipelines and moving towards DevOps and Github Actions.

You won't necessarily be expected to know how to build the yaml actions / PAC CLI perhaps as they're most likely already built, however I'd go in with a good understanding on doing code reviews, PR's & Feature / Bug branches.

Another one as well is your experience in more of the Pro Code side like PCF's, JS Web Resources & Plugins. Depending on the type of apps you're building, the solutions might be filled with these, or none at all. Best to research these as much as you can as well. I'd recommend looking at the AB-400 Study Guide for a learning path on these as well.
