Step 2: Help Us Help You

  1. What motivates you?
  • Making progress on things. Learning new things.
  1. How will you keep yourself going when faced with rejection in the job search?
  • Rely on freinds and family.
  1. How will you hold yourself accountable to your plans? (Ex: Attend Mod 5, meet with cohortmates, attend Kayt's coffee shop hours, etc.)
  • Attend all Mod5 events
  1. How do you like to communicate?
  • Slack or email for simple things. Phone or in-person conversation for lengthier communication (I'm not always the quickest to respond to electronic communication)
  1. What is your ideal job?
  • Data science or machine learning, particularly in Python
  1. What has been your approach to the job search so far?
  • I have not done a lot while at school. I have attended several meetups and kept in contact with a few people from those.
  1. What could you use help with?
  • Cold outreach. It scares me.
  1. Anything else you'd like Kayt to know?

  2. If you are not using Huntr, please include a link here to the job tracker you're using so that Kayt can follow along with your progress.
