Mod4 job hunt

Critical that a paycheck arrive by mid February

What could a typical week look like for you?

  • Network with all the people I already know on Sundays.
  • Go to class on Mondays and research new jobs during lunch.
  • On Tuesdays, during lunch, write cover letters to the places researched.
  • Wednesdays look for opportunites after school to go to meetups or demos.
  • Thursdays apply for a new job during lunch. Are there any meetups after school?
  • Fridays during lunch apply for any secondary jobs, was there a lingering interest?
  • Saturdays still free of job searching.

When do you work best during the day?

  • Mid Day, work has already begun and I am in the swing of things.

What is a realistic way to spend your time?

  • Breaking up the time between research, networking and applying

What will you work on during that time?

  • See above for written and below for visual.

Why do you want mentoring in the job search?

  • Continued feedback on portfolio, resume and approach
  • Group knowledge on what my peers are trying and how they're performing
  • Connection with Turing support and network

How will you hold yourself accountable to balancing time for your job search and following your mentor and group's advice?

  • Schedule in advance
  • Take detailed notes of all feedback
  • Bring up specific concerns as to how my approach is being read

What is the focus of your job search (timeline, ideal job, steps you’ve already taken)? Be as specific as you can.

  • Have a paycheck by Mid February
  • Ideally working in React on web design
  • Would also enjoy UI/UX work, or learning new front-end frameworks
  • Have reached out to my own network
  • One CEO contact at Intelligent Design in Denver, who wants to connect me with HR
