Outreach & Networking Plan
As we've discussed, meeting people, forming relationships, and having conversations are the key pieces to getting your
foot in the door at any company. It's important to be proactive in your approach to outreach and networking, so it's
necessary to make a plan for what you'll try to further your networking.

Identify a contact you will reach out to by the end of this module. This could be a mentor, alum, or anyone from your
current network. Describe:
- I used to teach yoga with someone who is a controller at company in Denver. I looked at there site and they have an open
junior dev position.


Who your contact is, why you want to connect with them, and what you want to talk about:
- I used to teach yoga with this person. They are the controler at a company in town and they have a junior dev position open
- on there site.


When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet
- I was planning on sending her an email.
What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them
- In the email I was going to ask her if she was still teaching yoga and see how she liked her current job.
- I would tell her that I was layed off by Kroger and now taking Front End Developer training and ask if she
- had any contacts in that way. Maybe i could get the email of the seinor dev and ask for an informational interview.

What other steps will you take to start building a stronger network in the tech community?
- I am looking thru meetup to find a tech dev kind of group to go to. Also hackathons could be a way to meet people.
- Also keep working at getting more mentors. I might have to give a talk so that I could meet more people at a meetup
type thing.
