I had a mock interview with Casey that consisted of 30 minutes of conceptual questions followed by a 30 minute technical challenge. I think I did alright but there are always ways to improve.
I like to think of the interviewer as someone who doesn't know anything about programming. It takes some of the pressure off and it pushes me to explain every step that I take in a detailed manner. This is useful because it gives them confidence that I can explain technical topics to people from different backgrounds and it allows them to see how well I actually understand something instead of having to make assumptions.
From the feedback I got, I did really well with communicating during the technical challenge. I was able to explain how I was going to approach the problem and I was able to explain my decisions and my thought process

Ibotta
Lindsay Rybar, HR Partner
2/6/2017
I know Lindsay from my time at OnDeck. We had a chance to meet for coffee on 3/3/2017 to catch up and to learn more about Ibotta. She informed me that the company is growing pretty fast right now and they plan to add 20-30 engineers before the end of the year. She said that I could put her down as a referral once I apply and she introduced me to 2 engineers at the company.

Fork this gist and answer these questions to reflect on your learning experiences.
- What brought you to Turing?
I came to Turing to pursue a career that's both challenging and rewarding. I liked the idea of being able to create something myself to improve my own life, that of those around me, and my community.
- Where do you see yourself after Turing?

Have you ever felt behind because there are so many interesting articles to read but not enough time in the day? No need to worry, Keep Up will convert these articles into an audio version that you can listen to!
People would like to keep up with current events or anything that they're interested but they don't have the time to do so.

Hearing Jeff and Ingrid talk about interviews helped change my outlook as I start my job search. As the type of person that stresses about not knowing everything it was refreshing to learn that most companies won't expect me to know everything. I will still try to prepare for the interview as much as I possibly can but I'll be able to walk in there knowing that it's okay and maybe even expected of me to say I don't know. Instead of walking into an interview thinking that I won't do good enough I'll try to think of it from the interviewer's perspective, they picked me for a reason and they're hoping that I succeed as much as I do because they're looking to fill a need.

- I want to reach out to my top 6 companies and either get an interview or a rejection
In this section, break down your longterm goal into smaller goals that you want to work on each week and/or day
- Since I'm going to pursue opportunities with the companies that I'm the most interested in I want to make sure that I am prepared for any techinical challenge that is thrown at me.
Building and consuming APIs will be my biggest focus throughout this module since I have a lot of ideas that I would like to implement as side projects. Also, I feel like I really neglected styling during Mod 2 so I'll be focused on that during my individual and group projects.

From what I've heard from other students module 2 consists of larger projects that require more group work. I plan make my ability to work well in larger groups my main area of emphasis during these next six weeks. From getting more comfortable with Github, communicating in person or remotely, or helping others whenever they get stuck I want to make sure that I can carry my weight whenever we are assigned group projects.
