What drew you to BibleProject and why do you want to spend the next season of your career with us?

What's a BibleProject resource (video, podcast episode, class, etc.) that's shaped how you think about something? What stuck with you about it?

How many years of professional experience do you have in a Systems Administrator role?

You’re partway through preparing laptops for three new hires who start next week. In the next 15 minutes, three things come in:

• A colleague in the office can’t open the shared drive and has a meeting in 30 minutes.
• A remote teammate messages that their video calls have no audio.
• The Security team asks you to confirm a software update has been applied to a set of devices by end of day.

How would you decide what to do first, and how would you keep each person informed?
