Hey everyone,
Is anyone here currently working in AWS Data Center Operations (DCO) in the Frankfurt region (or Germany) or familiar with their technical screening process?

I recently completed a 60-minute technical phone screen with an engineer for an AWS DCO / IT Support role in Germany. During the technical portion, I answered all hardware, networking, and cabling troubleshooting questions without getting stuck. At the end, the interviewer explicitly told me: "The technical part was pretty good, that's what I can tell you."

For the behavioral part, I answered four questions using the STAR method. In the closing feedback, the interviewer noted that I sounded a bit nervous and strictly said the literal STAR words out loud ("The situation was...", "My task was...", "The action was...", "The result was..."), though he mentioned that if my recruiter instructed me to use that exact structure, it doesn't matter.

For anyone who has been through this specific Frankfurt/EMEA pipeline or interviews for AWS DCO: does sounding nervous or explicitly vocalizing STAR labels carry a negative impact if the technical answers and core story data points were solid? What are the realistic odds of moving forward to the onsite loop from here?

Would really appreciate any insights from anyone with AWS DCO experience in Frankfurt or Germany. Thanks!
