Outreach:
Why you want to connect with this person and what you hope to talk about- Mary BEth Burch
When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet- I will contact them by the end of this mod, so that I can maybe shadow them in mod 3 or intermission
What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them- I will make sure to get their contact information, and follow up with any other contacts they give me.
Networking:
Option #1: If you're going to utilize networking events, look at upcoming networking events on meetup.com, builtin.com, or other social networking sites to make a plan for 1 that you can attend between now and the end of Module 3. Decide:
Why is this particular event interesting to you? How will you connect with others at this event? I will be attending a hackathon at the end of October. I have been wanting to attend one of these since we started at Turing, but finally feel that I may be able to contribute a little bit. I will make sure to be social and talk to other groups.
What kind of value do you hope to gain? What kind of value can you contribute?- I hope to gain more contacts within the software engineering field.
How will you capitalize on these relationships?- While at the hackathon, once making ocnnecitons, I will make sure to get contact info and follow up with a possible coffee meeting.

Meg, it is great to see some specific steps you have in place and hopefully the Hackathon goes well! Consider focusing on specific outreach 1-2 people at the Hackathon and what questions might you want to ask people while you are there? How can you leverage that event and also be best prepared?
