What Hiring Managers Look for First in Cloud Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

anding a job in cloud computing can be highly competitive — especially in the UK market where demand far outpaces supply in many segments.

This guide breaks down, in practical terms, exactly what hiring managers look for first in cloud computing applications — and what you should emphasise in your CV, cover letter and portfolio to stand out on www.cloudcomputingjobs.co.uk .

The Skills Gap in Cloud Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cloud computing underpins almost every modern digital service. From financial systems and healthcare platforms to AI, e-commerce, government infrastructure and cybersecurity, the cloud is now the default operating environment for UK organisations. Demand for cloud professionals has grown rapidly, with roles spanning architecture, engineering, security, DevOps, platform operations and cost optimisation. Salaries remain high, and vacancies remain stubbornly difficult to fill. Yet despite a growing number of graduates with computer science, IT and software engineering degrees, employers across the UK report a persistent problem: Too many candidates are not job-ready for real cloud computing roles. This is not a question of intelligence or motivation. It is a structural skills gap between what universities teach and what cloud jobs actually require. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities do well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers genuinely want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cloud computing.
