Career Plan

Post-Grad Job Search Action Plan Template: Your first 30 Days

You are so close! You've spent the last 7 months working towards this -- graduation and finding your new dream job! This plan is meant to help you streamline your goals and get on the path to employment as a software developer during the first 30 days after graduation. Please fill out the plan by copying this template into a gist to submit in the markdown that you submit for your portfolio.

As you fill out this plan, consider how your first job search will set the tone for your career trajectory in the software industry. After all, your first developer job should align with those goals as well so that you're on track for a longterm successful career.

Note: If you have already secured a job prior to graduation, skip to the second step to look at ways you can support the rest of your cohort. However, this step is optional.

M4 Capstone Project

Epi-Ready Questionnaire Builder

Pitch

This project is in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). CDPHE aims to create an interactive, dynamic tool that guides foodborne outbreak investigators through building a tailored outbreak questionnaire. With this tool, investigators will have rapid access to a large, curated database of questionnaire modules, which they can navigate through using a guided, web-based interface to efficiently build a questionnaire that is specific to their outbreak scenario. I will be building a prototype of this tool that CDPHE plans to include in an upcoming grant application to leverage CDC funding to build the full-fledged product.

Alterative RoadTrip

Pitch

Alternative RoadTrip is the tool that lets alternative fuel vehicle owners realize the ranges that they can travel in their vehicle.

Problem

One of the main deterants of purchasing an alternative fuel vehicle are the low driving ranges. Buyers are also unaware of the potential savings of purchasing an alternative vehicle through state and federal incentives.

CFU Week 2 - Andy, Ellen and Megan

Week Two - Module 3 Some of these questions are from this week, some are from previous weeks, and some are new concepts. Try answering without research first. If you are not sure, take a guess but acknowledge that it's a guess (faking an answer in an interview without acknowledging it as a guess is a bad idea). Follow up with the necessary research to understand these concepts. These tend to be common themes during the job hunt and are worth having a solid understanding of.

What's OAuth?

  • Process of authenticating through a third party service.

What are some advantages/disadvantages of implementing OAuth? Advantages:

  • No need to store passwords
  • For users, it is less setup. You can inherit user's profile information and other data that is stored on the third party.

FYI the “The Importance of Empathy in Our Services-Centric, People-Oriented Economy" requires an account to view the article.

Empathy Relection

Empathy helps you to anticipate and gauge user’s needs in order to build more user-friendly software. Empathy is important when working on a team because no one will want to build code with you if you’re a jerk.

Also, “empathetic listening increases our ability to receive information.”

I find it most difficult to be empathetic when dealing with management and trying to see their point of view. It’s easy to dislike your boss when you don’t actually recognize them as a person and view their decisions as insensitive.

  1. 29 Behaviors That Will Make You an Unstoppable Programmer

Three behaviors that resonated with me were #6, "Understand that code is cheap," #15,"Don’t count the number of hours," and #29 "Move Fast and Break Things."

#6

"But the experience gained from writing the (bad) code was actually the “output” vs. producing shippable code. It was simply part of the process that ultimately led to the result."
