During mod 3, I plan on reaching out to some new contacts as well as to follow up with some people I've met in the last year that work in the tech industry. I will use the turing mentor list to reach out to people like Adam Carpenter who have similar interests and experience, like playing music on a professional level and enjoying outdoor sports. This will most likely be a video chat session in which I will ask for general advice about the 'real world' of a tech job and the process of interviewing for one. Also, I'd like to talk a little about non-tech lifestyle topics in order to connect on some other levels besides a potential career connection. While I do plan on attending at least one group style meetup, I know that I will do better in a one on one coffee meeting situation. I like the idea of a planned meeting better than a sort of free-for-all group setting and feel like that will foster a much more meaningful conversation. I would prefer that over a social media back and forth sort of corespondence too, as it just sounds like a much more likely way to make an impression. I look foward to presenting myself as an ambitious and eager learner, with a wide range of interests and experience.
