What is the value of a checklist?

Well the first thing you have to do in order to create a checklist is sit down and come up with a gameplan. This will allow you extra time to decide exactly how you want something to play out. Once the checklist is completed it will help you not omit any steps and keep you on track.

What do you plan to improve upon while at Turing?

I want to improve on my ability to dedicate myself to a task. I also am ready to see what emotional and professional development that i'm introduced to. I cant think of anything in particular I want to work on, but I am ready for growth.

What is your greatest strength and how do you know?

My ability to adapt to unforseen situations or scenarios. Its something ive been forced to become good at though my personal and professional career.

How do you work best?

I work best with when under instruction though visual and verbal counseling.

What is your greatest area of improvement?

My greatest area of improvment that I feel is feeling comfortable asking for help. I much rather not be a burden and/or figure it out on my own.

How do you hope to maximize your strengths for your new career in software development?

I feel that software development has a very strucured overview to it. For instance having a strong gameplan heading into a project, however I also feel that like most things in life coding has a tendency to throw you a curveball. I think my ability to adapt will come in handy and hopefully help my team.

How might knowing about your strengths and working preferences benefit you as a software developer?

Understanding yourself and how you work is an essential building block to success. Any book about personal development will tell you that. Software development is no different in my opinion.

What efforts do you make to manage your learning process? Are these efforts successful? What challenges have inhibited your ability to manage your learning process effectively?

I try and understand that information is constantly changing, and that you have to always be open to learning something new. Typically I dont have any issues with managing my learning process.

How do Sierra's and Coate's material relate to your current process for learning?

Sierras keynote about cognitive resources brough to light how about I tend to load up my "B pile" by just consistantly loading up my plate with new intresting information. Coate's writing made me think about congadulating myself a little more about the small goals that I do accomplish.

What role does your emotional state of mind play in your learning? How do your successes and failures at learning affect your emotional state?

I can normally detach my emotional state. However I tend to get upset with failures, that frustrations tends to lead me into a frenzy of trying to find the answer. My wins normally do the same, but pump me up to go learn something else.

How will you prepare yourself to be at your best with your learning process while at Turing?

avoiding personal distractions. Ive purposely busted my a** to get into a place that will allow me to focus my energy into learning at Turing.

"Top Thinking Style I perceive information through my senses and impressions. I'm an informal, 'trial-and-error' processor. I value adventure, heartfelt expression and spontaneity more than details, limitations or long-term focus."

"Strongest Driver Let me be supported, guided and loved. I need to remain close to a devoted protector."

"Top EQ Competency I refrain from knee-jerk reactions to emotions. I regulate my thoughts, words and actions."

"Highest Virtue Class I seek to gain and apply knowledge. I blend curiosity, creativity and evaluation in quest of perspective."
