Post-Grad Job Search Action Plan Template: Your first 30 Days

You are so close! You've spent the last 7 months working towards this -- graduation and finding your new dream job! This plan is meant to help you streamline your goals and get on the path to employment as a software developer during the first 30 days after graduation. Please fill out the plan by copying this template into a gist to submit in your portfolio.

As you fill out this plan, consider how your first job search will set the tone for your career trajectory in the software industry. After all, your first developer job should align with those goals as well so that you're on track for a longterm successful career.

Note: If you have already secured a job prior to graduation, skip to the second part of the plan below.

Microaggressions

I appreciated the purpose of the session and thought it was well planned.

When I shared some things about my experience, I was told by the males in my smalll group...

• No, your partner didn't actually roll his eyes and complain to his friend when he learned you were paired
• There's no way someone in our cohort would speak about a woman that way
• There's no way people form our class would interrupt you

When they finally believed me that these things were indeed part of my experience, I was told...

• Well you just shouldn't get your feelings hurt

I really enjoyed learning about agile practices this mod, and working with my partners to use agile practices. During our session, Jeff said, "build half a thing, not a half-assed thing" and that really stuck with me. I think I am drawn to this becuase I see the value in early and frequent user testing. One thing I would like to do differently/improve on as I move forward is TDD.

Date of feedback conversation:

• September 5, 2017

How did you prepare for the conversation?

• I reflected on our project and workflow. I took note of successes and challenges and how we worked together.

How did the conversation go for you? What was easy about the conversation? What was more difficult?

• It felt easy to share feedback with Nick because we have maintained a great working relationship throughout the two projects we've been paired on. We both reflected on getting caught up on tasks and not taking enough breaks - leading to burnout. We both pushed each other to improve in that area!

What principles of feedback did you use in the conversation?

Feedback III Reflection

• What are you doing well as a pair programmer and collaborator?

  • Both myself and my partners identified that I am focused, logical and perseverant. I work really hard to be a good listener; making sure to not overstep, but also to contirbute when I know I have something to offer.

• How do you use your strengths as a team member?

  • My top 2 StrengthsFinder strengths are Learner and Discipline, and I think these help a lot. I can usually take lead on driving the direction of our workflow, making sure we set goals and timebox, and don't go down rabbit holes that are unproductive.

• How would you like to continue to develop your strengths? - What would you like to improve on as a teammate?

• Two of my StrengthsFinder strengths are Developer and Individualization and I feel like with the time crunch to complete projects, I have sometimes not taken the time to be as aware of how people around me are doing. This not only affects me as a teammate, but can be draining for me as
