Technical Interviews vs. Church Interviews

Minister to Developer. Landing a job in a tough economy, with Coleman Escue

Clip@user42461083836894102m 5s

Coleman Escue landed a full time role as a software developer in one of the toughest job markets in recent memory.

His path was anything but conventional:

Minister.
Chiropractic assistant.
Electrician.

Rather than view his path as a set of unrelated experiences, Coleman realized he was accumulating skills.

In time, he would leverage those skills to pierce a veil of early rejection and setbacks, landing a dream role as a professional developer.
