82 jr security analyst interview questions shared by candidates

They asked me open ended questions about my resume and projects I'd worked on. You should practice several SOAR stories out loud for every part of your resume. They asked me about a time I took leadership on a project, which I had a SOAR story prepared for. They also asked me to talk about a time where I had to work with slacker coworkers and how I responded. You should have a story ready for that one too.

They asked me about a time I took leadership on a project, which I had a SOAR story prepared for. They also asked me to talk about a time where I had to work with slacker coworkers and how I responded. You should have a story ready for that one too.

The first interview consisted of basic HR questions about my interest in the company, previous work experience, and skillset, and questions about IR and if I had a similar experience in the past. The second interview was with 2 members of the Security team and focused on skillsets and job responsibilities, including a short vulnerability assessment that could have been added to the final interview. The third interview was technical, with questions about networking and Linux related to security, web app attacks and protection (brute force, password spraying etc.), phishing, what to look for data protection for a vendor, encryption/hashing/encoding, and a simple Python task (write a one-line script from scratch). Basic knowledge of IT and Security matters I would say. Could have focused more on the Security side. You need scripting skills otherwise it is not a recommended position.
