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

  • 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.
