In order to apply for the Mod 4 Job Search Mentorship Program, submit a private gist containing information for Sections I & II here by 4pm on Monday of Week 2. This application should take you about 30-60 mins total.
- Why do you want mentoring in the job search?
I have experience with job search, however I feel new to the world of job search in this industry. Thus I thought it would valuable to receive feedback, so I learn best practices while I'm still in school. Thus developing stronger practices before I graduate.
- How will you hold yourself accountable to balancing time for your job search and following your mentor and group's advice?
I have set up a schedule (see above) my goal is for an hour every day for weekdays and 2 hours every day for weekends. I am the SAB rep for this inning, so last Friday I asked everyone to share their professional goals so we can hold each other accountable. Thus I have as well created my own goals (3 job applications and talk to one new person a week). I plan to check in with the class every week and make sure I'm also attaining my goals weekly.
- What is the focus of your job search (timeline, ideal job, steps you’ve already taken)? Be as specific as you can.
I'm honestly not racing against time for a job. I would oblivious appreciate a job sooner, however I also want to create strong projects during mod 4 and feel confident I found a good fit for me. Thus I haven't done a good job starting beyond what I've been asked to complete by PD.
