In this week's episode, we’re joined by Julian Joseph, a lead Salesforce DevOps Engineer.
Through the episode, we hear about how Julian found his way into the Salesforce space, initially working as an Administrator before gravitating towards QA and testing roles. Julian explains some of the nuances to Salesforce testing and explains how his passion for automation eventually led him from testing into DevOps and whether this is a jump that many people make.
DevOps is often seen as technical, so Julian explains the skill sets required to work in this space, and shares some advice as to why non-technical Salesforce professionals may benefit from learning scripting.
Julian talks us through how he has approached his recent job search, how he automates certain tasks, the kind of questions he asked in an interview to assess culture fit, and some recent additions to his LinkedIn profile and resume that make an impact with potential hiring managers.
We hope you enjoy the episode and make sure you follow Julian on LinkedIn and his other social media accounts!
