Professional development session: Overcoming Job-Hunting Imposter's Syndrome
Raw
pd-flower-job-hunt-imposter.md

What are you looking for in your first job?

  • In my first position I'd like to work with individuals and a company whose mission I identify with and find meaning in. I would prefer a product that individuals can benefit from. In work environment, I would prefer an organization that provides mentorship and growth opportunities for junior developers, allowing me to continue my learning while also providing me opportunities and challenges to be an active, contributing team member.

What are your top 3 priorities in your first job?

  1. Supportive environment for junior developers
  2. Work/life balance
  3. Location

What are some barriers you identified, as well as what you could do to mitigate these barriers?

  • I find that I don't always perform as well as I feel capable of in interviews. I could benefit myself by scheduling mock interviews to get practice with the process of a technical interview and become more comfortable in answering questions on the spot.
