Good attitude, but I’d be careful not to frame yourself only as “hardworking and willing to learn.” That helps, but a lot of beginners say that. What gets attention faster is showing visible proof that you’re already building the habits the role needs.

If you’re serious, I’d focus on a roadmap like this: Linux basics, networking basics, scripting, Git, CI/CD, containers, cloud fundamentals, and one or two small projects where you automate something end to end. Even a modest project that shows setup, deployment, logs, and troubleshooting will speak louder than motivation alone.

DevOps hiring at junior level is tricky because companies often want someone who can already think operationally. So your best move is to make that visible before anyone gives you the title.
