I would like mentoring in this job search for to me the obvious reason of getting advice from someone with more knowledge than me in the subject. My continued goal through Turing has been learning and listening, especially from mentors or people with more experience. The opportunity to have a mentor in this job search is one that I would not pass up.

My focus during this mentorship will be listening and implementing the advice that I receive from my mentor. I will hold myself accountable with a check list monitoring steps needed to take in this process.

The focus on my job search so far has been networking and searching everyday for opportunities available. I have also

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:

• What are each of our learning goals for this project? What drives us in this project? Trisha - have a great partner experience with Foster because this will be my last partner/group project at Turing. Technology-wise, I would like more practice with implementing knex syntax to get data that we want (rather than getting the whole database, then cleaning data to display). Foster - I would like additional practice and repetition with knex and SQL
• What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches? Trisha - I prefer working side by side with my partner so we both get the benefits of learning whatever it is that we're working on. For this project, however, because there are some outside circumstances, e.g. job interviews, I think remote work and possibly dividing and conquering may be better so we have the capacity to focus on some of our outside commitments that we have as Mod 4 students. Foster - balan

My Differentiation topic focuses on Apollo Front End Client.  I researched the reasons why I would need to use 
Apollo for GraphQL in the Front End.  We used GraphQL on our final project and we were able to access GraphQL with queries
from a singular endpoint but Apollo Client is supposed to make this process more efficient and easier. 
GraphQL allows you to define how you want to fetch your data 
GraphL is a language for querying data.  With GraphQL, your existing services describe the data that they have,
and clients describe the data they need. This is possible because of a strongly-typed schema.  
The simplest way to get started with implementing GraphQL is with the Apollo platform. The Apollo platform 
includes all the tools needed to get started, including a production-ready GraphQL server, a fully-featured 
schema management and monitoring tool, Apollo Graph Manager, and a client that manages local and remote data in your apps.
