Job Cut Off Date- Feb 15

Monthly goals- 5 interviews

Weekly Goals- Apply to five jobs and schedule 2 cold contact meetings

Daily Goals- Stick to the calendar unless interviewing or meeting other students to work on projects.

3 People to reach out to

  • I will reach out to Sarah, Isaac, Harris, and Mary because I know them personally and they are established in the industry. I will try to set up mock interviews with them and have them continute to help me rehearse technical questions. I will reach out to all of them the first week I am out of Turing.

3 Meetups or events

  • Flatirons LGBTQ
  • Denver Startup Weekend (women)
  • Denver Devs HH
  • Harper Hackathon

Tools- Jobtrack.io and Trello

Areas to improve for interviews

  • Storytelling/articulation- will practice weekly with my wife.
  • Tech Interview Questions (see people to contact)
  • Code Challenges (see daily practice)

Additional area for job search- starting personal website, where I will keep a blog

Updated LinkedIn with skills and availability.

Will check in weekly with Jen to update on progress.

Barriers

  • Not sticking to schedule - I will make it known to friends and family what my schedule is and ask them to support me and hold me accountable.
  • Internal narrative - I will take my medicine every day and be mindful of my headspace, taking breaks or time off when needed.
