Episode 11   Published October 29, 2024 15 minute watch

Summary

The IT job market rewards adaptability over any single skill, cloud architect Forrest Brazeal tells host Landon Miles, because a whole field can shift beyond recognition while you have your head down in one role. He tells host Landon Miles that AI assistants amplify senior engineers but can't replace the human mentorship juniors need, so teams still have to invest in growing the next generation. Brazeal points listeners to his free Cloud Resume Challenge as a way to lose the fear of learning new things, and he urges job seekers to stop cold applying and instead get hired through their network.
