What motivates you?

Feeling like I'm good at something makes me want to do that thing more. Also, wanting to earn a paycheck again motivates me.

How will you keep yourself going when faced with rejection in the job search?

Knowing up front that it's going to be a struggle, and to just embrace the struggle. Nobody who's rejecting me for a job is rejecting me personally as a human. I know who I am and what I'm capable. It's a crapshoot whether or not they get the chance to find out.

How will you hold yourself accountable to your plans? (Ex: Attend Mod 5, meet with cohortmates, attend Kayt's coffee shop hours, etc.)

Attend Mod 5; weekly check-ins with Kirk, my accountabilibuddy from Day 1; report to my wife each day.

How do you like to communicate?

Slack is fine!

What is your ideal job?

Working remotely for an ed tech company that allows me to travel to the company office once in a while to meet people in person, but otherwise provides robust communication/support/learning remotely. I'd be interested in pretty much any of the companies on this list: https://builtin.com/edtech/edtech-companies

What has been your approach to the job search so far?

So far I've had a handful of coffee meetings, and I've identified several job openings that I'd like to apply for, but I haven't yet taken the plunge on applying for any of them yet.

What could you use help with?

Taking the aforementioned plunge; moving quickly.

Anything else you'd like Kayt to know?

We've talked quite a bit already, so nothing I can think of!
