In general, I think I would benefit from continued, targeted feedback and support on things like cold outreaches/setting up meetings, and writing cover letters. I have a lot of anxiety about the whole networking process! In particular I would like advice and coaching on highlighting/presenting the intersection of my personal skills and talents with the requirements/expectations of a job posting, and how to efficiently frame all of that within a cover letter/'elevator pitch'. Just having dedicated time to meet with an instructor and be able to talk through what I am trying to do would go a long way to bolstering my confidence.
Continuing to time-box and make a structured calendar, and putting in the time when the time is allotted. I'm trying to have faith in the process, and trust that I will continue to make progress in the job search by putting in time and effort (and hopefully having some luck along the way...). When I do start getting mettings and interviews I will report back with whatever is required for instructors/staff.
At this point I am just focusing on getting a job as soon as possible. Ideally I would have something lined up before the truly slow part of the last quarter begins, my finances will not really allow me to go into the new year without some income, and I don't want to have to try to take a side job while looking for a developer job, if at all possible. At this point the only concrete thing I am really looking for in a job is being able to work on a team with other front end developers. So far I have only looked at a lot of postings (and made a single cold outreach, to which I got no reply), and saved them with the Huntr extension. Going forward I am planning on alternating between spending an hour and a half (approximately) one day on looking for postings and looking for contacts, and then spending the same amount of time the next day sending out applications and outreaches. If that proves to be too demanding I will most likely modify it to find postings/contacts I am interested in on Monday, and sending things out on Tuesday and Thursday.
