Hi Everyone,

I recently completed a UiPath Robot Development course on Udemy and have developed several automations using both UiPath and Python. I’m currently working on building my skills to transition into a tech role from a non-tech background. Alongside this, I’m also pursuing a PG Diploma in Data Science and Generative AI.

So far, I’ve given two interviews for UiPath Developer roles but unfortunately wasn’t able to clear them. I’ve been practicing the automations I’ve built, but I haven’t worked with the REFramework yet—only on creating process automations.

I’d really appreciate if someone can suggest or guide on what core areas I should focus on to improve my chances of clearing future interviews.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Naman_Arora,

Here are my few pointers I would suggest you to learn and practice.

1. RPA Fundamentals & the UiPath Ecosystem
Understand what Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is, including its benefits and common use cases.
Familiarize yourself with the overall UiPath portfolio - from UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, Robots, and the role of UiPath AI components.

2. UiPath Studio & Development Skills
Workflow Design: Master the design of workflows using sequences, flowcharts, and state machines.
Activities & Control Flow: Know how to use key activities (e.g., looping, branching, conditional logic) and how they integrate with data manipulation.
• Variables, Data Types & Collections: Be comfortable working with different data types and managing collections.
• Debugging & Testing: Learn how to effectively debug workflows and use logging to monitor automation execution.

3. Exception Handling & Robust Design
• Understand best practices for error management in automation workflows.
• Get to know how to implement Try-Catch blocks, use the Throw activity, and design for resilience - especially when working with uncertain or variable environments.

4. UiPath Orchestrator and Infrastructure
• Gain knowledge of how to deploy, schedule, and monitor robots via Orchestrator.
• Familiarize yourself with logging, triggers, and managing robot licenses and resources.

5. REFramework (Robotic Enterprise Framework)
• The REFramework is a standard template for building robust automation solutions.
• Learn its structure, components, and how to leverage it for common business process automation scenarios.

6. Integration Capabilities
• Understand how UiPath integrates with external systems (APIs, databases, Excel, email, etc.).
• Explore capabilities for interacting with web services and handling UI elements in desktop and web applications.

7. Best Practices & Design Patterns
• Keep up with best practices in designing, documenting, and maintaining automation projects.
• Learn about modular design approaches and reusable components, which are often discussed in the UiPath Forum and documented in the UiPath Academy.

8. Supplemental Skills
• Some interviews may also delve into general programming concepts, problem-solving, and understanding business processes.
• Familiarity with concepts like version control (for example, Git integration) and DevOps can be an added advantage.

9. Continuous Learning
• Leverage the free resources from UiPath Academy and Community Forum to stay updated on trends, new features, and real-world use cases.
• Practice building bots from scratch and study real-world scenarios as these practical experiences often come up during interviews.

I used LLM to proofread and add details in this answer and are correct as per my knowledge.
