## Job Search Mentorship Program
It's hard to see, but each of the red lunches from Tuesday to Friday are filled with contacting at least 3 devs through Slack (if Turing grads) or LinkedIn at the following: Tuesday: City of Denver, Wednesday: Gusto, Thursday: CyberGRX, and Friday: Xactly. After contact, if they are available, scedule meetings accoringly. Also screenshotted is my current list of reach outs. As of this morning, I've had another 2 lunch/coffee meetings with potential employers, one from Food Maven, one from Guild Education.

Why do you want mentoring in the job search?
- I want mentoring because the most important part of my time at Turing, and the whole reason I came here, is so that I can - and I'm just being honest - land a highly satisfying, well-paying job as soon as possible. I would LOVE to start working again, and I would LOVE to leave Turing with a job already secured. I think mentoring will be key to my success; both to give me the right tools, and to push me to succeed.

How will you hold yourself accountable to balancing time for your job search and following your mentor and group's advice?
- The same way I currently hold myself accountable to my learning expereince, my SAB committments, and my wife and son: by focusing, working hard, maintaining a tenable pace, getting help fron my friends and cohort, and committing my all to the process.

What is the focus of your job search (timeline, ideal job, steps you’ve already taken)? Be as specific as you can.
- I feel as though I am currently still at the stage of research and reaching out for coffee, but maybe not quite yet at sending out applications. But that will change in the next few weeks. In my expereince, it's all about WHO you know, so I'm hitting the coffee/lunch meetups pretty hard right now. But after I turn in my first solo Mod 4 project, I think my portfolio will be string enough to actuall deploy everything and begin sending out applications.
