Research direction

Open src/assignments/tech-jobs-persistent.rst and read the instructions around the build.gradle, application.properties, and TestTaskOne steps. Reorder the two instruction blocks so database configuration comes before the test step, then verify that the resulting sequence accurately explains how to make TestTaskOne pass.

"Update build.gradle with the necessary dependencies. At this point, you should be able to run the tests. Run the tests in TestTaskOne to verify your gradle dependencies."

and

"Update src/resources/application.properties with the correct info. This will include spring.datasource.url set to the address of your database connection, as well as the username and password for a user you have created. Refer to the tip below for the other properties you must add to complete your database setup."

should be flipped. TestTaskOne will only pass if build.gradle AND application.properties are updated.
