Post-Grad Job Search Action Plan Template

#1: Job Search Plan: Create a schedule & goals

Each day I will go over e-mails and see if anyone has responded. I will spend my mornings looking up and applying to jobs, and 2-3 hours after lunch to work on my person site, I hope to have at least two interviews a week and two cold outreach meetings. I will keep an eye out for code related meetups in order to meet more people. While working on my I would like two get a job within the next two months, if I get any offers by then I will accept it if I get no more.

#2: Longterm Career Plan: What are your career goals?

Withing the next 5 years I hope to be in super proficient in ruby and JS, if I am able to get into a Video Game company I will take it. It's something I've always wanted to do. In the next ten years I hope to be in the position of a consultant/working for myself, where I have a decent network and have people coming to me with short jobs they need done. I met someone at a meetup in this posit

Guidelines: Documentation of Practice/Actual Interview Participation

Directions: During Module 4, you've had a few in-class models and practice sessions for technical interviews. You may have also participated in mock interviews or actual interviews outside of these class sessions. Please write a summary and reflection of 4-6 sentences on your interview participation in a gist that you'll link in your career development deliverables file.

I had an interview with Kaleen Baker at Procore. It was very good because she was really nice and we had a good talk. It set me up to get a feel for how interviews are and I'll be better prepared for the next one. I did well talking about my technical abilities but feel I could have done better with my own personal story.

Values and goals

How have you experienced microagressions in your time at Turing or in your life?

• I don't believe I have here at turing, besides everyone no knowing how young I am, but that's not a microaggression imo.
• The problem is i naturally don't give a shit what people think and like proving people wrong, so if things like that were ever said to me I probably just used that to push harder into what I was doing.

What ways have you been able to address microagressions that you have seen happen?

• I don't know that I ever have.

What role could you play in interupting microagressions for others?

• Set an example on how to not make assumptions based on someones looks/characteristics.

* What project management strategies did you use in your projects this module?
 * We appointed a project manager and they told us what to do over slack.
* What went well?
 * They were able to see our strengths and appoint us to things we could do getting the project completed
* What would you do differently next time?
 * Maybe find something better than slack to use like waffle, we implemented it but didn't really ever look at it.
