Anthony Powell Moze, or simply Tony Moze, was not an SE when he first came into the podcast back in 2021. Listeners will remember him from episode 153 as the guy who was transitioning from healthcare and psychology into sales engineering. Almost two years after that episode, we bring him back to the podcast, now an SE himself, to talk about his journey in finally landing an SE job. If you are currently and actively seeking your first SE position, you will find this episode really helpful. But everyone in the sales engineering field, no matter how long we have been in our roles, will learn a few things in this episode about the importance of humility, asking for help, and networking in continuing to thrive as SEs. https://wethesalesengineers.com/show250
