What were your reflections from the video?

"our world-view can actually exert and influence beyond our conscious awareness." This is a powerful statement. This fact seems to be an easy thing to lose track of.

In what ways have you examined your implicit biases before coming to Turing?

In working in the restaurant industry, implicit bias was very present. It was easy to gear your approach to each individual table based on who you decided your guests were. I found my biases to be wrong far more times than not. It taught me a great deal in opening my approach with each individual compilation of guests. I was able to create a larger number of regulars and was able to be more open and honest with most all of them (new guests or not), which, in turn, lead to F

Overview

  • What is a career journal? The journal will help guide you through the process of discovering who you are as a new developer and how that translates into your career goals. It’s a way to check in with yourself through self-reflection, prompts, and questions, organize your targeted job search, and remember who you met as you build a professional network.

Purpose

You will be a contributor in several paired/group project throughout your Turing career working on complex technical challenges. You may be surprised to find out that < 1% of failing projects at Turing are due solely to technical definicines - in fact, the majority of failing projects are due to intrapersonal/team issues. In order to set yourself (and your teammates) up for success, it is critical to clearly communicate and set expectations with your teammates.
