Post Grad Action Plan

Job Search Plan

Month 1 Goals

  • Learn React.js, Node.js
  • Brush up on Ruby, JavaScript, development basics
  • Figure out where to start and how to get interviews.
  • Research tech companies. Particularly Health Tech Companies.
  • Email People.
I have been pretty strong in interviews so far in my life. It is natural to be nervous. It is natural to be afraid. I think one of
the key parts when going in to an interview, is that the interviewee must remain clear-headed and confident. People understand that
interviews can be kind of scary, but they won't have much sympathy if you cannot put together a coherent sentence when you are under
relatively minor pressure.
Also, always, under all circumstances, be honest. If they ask you a question you don't know the answer to, either say 'I don't know'
or say 'Well if I were to guess, I would say...' . Lying and bullshitting will get you nowhere, and it proves nothing. I am a
junior developer, there's no use hiding it. I will make it clear in every interview that I am a capable coder, but that I do not in fact
know everything. I am alays willing to learn, and I am profoundly confident in that declaration.
1) I think our group dynamic was pretty good. I think improvement could have been made when we got stuck on Methods. There were
a few methods in Iteration 4 where we got frustrated and lost some time. After we took a break, and a breather, we almost always
figured it out.
2) I was the coding assistant. I was useful in building the repos, building the pathing, writing tests, debugging, and passing the
spec harness. Where my abilities hindered the team was in a couple methods in Iteration 4. Lucy thinks and codes much faster than
me, so she was drawing conclusions much faster than I was. this resulted in me falling behind a few times.
3) Lucy was definitely the team carry. If there was a problem I could not figure out, she got the method built.
INTRO:
-People hate spiders because they fear spiders. Spiders are gross and mysterious. People fear what they don't understand.
-I am going to give you a few reasons (in 5 minutes) why you should get chummy with your spider bros.
Worst and Deadliest Spiders in CO
-There is only one deadly spider in CO: the infamous Black Widow. Dubiously named because it turns people into widows.
-Brown Recluse, tarantulas, etc do not NATURALLY exist in CO.
-Lived in CO 26 years, and I've seen a Black Widow 3 times.
Why do Spiders Bite?
