18. Paul’s Career God Story + how to get hired in the tech industry

Listen in for a career God story from Paul, a Christian Software Engineering professional  who:

• ...had med-school aspirations
• ...earned a chemical engineering degree 
• ...God redirected into computer programming

Then stay for the second half, where he shares golden nuggets to help you get hired in the tech industry, including:

• Why the job "requirements" aren't what they seem 
• Websites to help you prepare for Software Engineering interviews
• Why "Tech industry" doesn't mean what you think it does
• The question you need to be asking before you get too far into your tech journey (and no, its NOT what programming language to learn)

This is a great episode covering lots of ground. Tune in to learn from Paul's wisdom and experience in both the Word of God and the hiring process.

Paul is a Lead Software Engineer at a well-established healthcare company. With 7 years in the tech industry, he's worked in both application development and Big Data within several industries including pharmacy, insurance, banking and now healthcare.   Paul says, "I am blessed to be in this industry, and I am a testimony to how God is faithful in your career. I am originally from Kansas City but have moved to Dallas in 2019. I am loving it here in Dallas, and I am excited to see what God has for me in the future!"
