Outreach & Networking Plan

As we've discussed, meeting people, forming relationships, and having conversations are the key pieces to getting your foot in the door at any company. It's important to be proactive in your approach to outreach and networking, so it's necessary to make a plan for what you'll try to further your networking.

Identify a contact you will reach out to by the end of this module. This could be a mentor, alum, or anyone from your current network. Describe:

1. Who your contact is, why you want to connect with them, and what you want to talk about? I would like to contact a Turing Alumni, Sam Landfried. They are in mobile developement and I would like to learn mobile development (ie. what languages to learn).
2. When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet I would like to reach out to them on Slack and asked them out for coffee if they live near by. If not, then ask for a phone call.
3. What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them

Professional Story

I'm a community-oriented software developer focused on creating client-centric products. Before my transition into development, I was a program analyst for a market research company, helping our clients better understand their customer-base and make data driven decisions. During my time as a program analyst, I started writing small programs to improve our clients' experience and quickly discovered I love writing code! I loved digging around and discovering everything the code could do. While self-teaching programming, I meet people in the industry and fell in love with the programming community as well. I decided to transition my career into programming by attending Turing School of Software and Design. I'll be graduating January 2020. While at Turing, I'm looking for more ways to be involved in the development community and having started learning Kotlin for mobile development.
