I have already stated cold outreach this inning and have met with both Turing and non-Turing people working in the industry. I havd reached out to remote poeple as it is my goal to get a remote job as my first job out of Turing. Fortunate for me, cold outreach is easy for me to do. I enjoy talking to strangers and hearing other peoples story. I have also made a lot of connections on linkedin through cold outreach sessions that I have already had.

As and adult I have become interested in coding and it's ability to create something from almost nothing. I think that software can and will do a lot of good things for this world. As a young boy I always thought that I would be a farmer as many of the elders in my family are/where. When it came time to decide what I would do after high school things started to change a little. There was not any land in the immediate family that would be passed down to me and the opportunities were just not there.
I have tried a number of different things in life but have always been consistent in the hospitality industry and enjoyed making peoples vacations something that they would charish. I have travled many places sking, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, boating, etc... I have always

I'm very open to conversation of this manor so I didn't need to prepare much. I understood how to express my
feelings about the project in a constructive manor.

How you've used agile as a process at Turing and what kind of project management tools you utilized. Address these questions:
Setting small attainable goals for the project, completeing those, refactoring, testing, and then moving on to the next piece.
did some user testing on projects to see what others thought.
small sprints, refactors, testing, etc...

It's more important to focus on the end goal than how you get there. In the end all the situations and decisions that you thought were extremely important will be immediately forgotten about.
forget about the tool that you are most comfortable with use what best fits that task at hand. Step out of your comfort zone and learn something new
Realize that deep thinking will get you there faster. You can only engage your brain this way for so many hours. Invest in yourself with healthy breaks and distractions. skip meetings in the name of more deep thinking and coding. Don't hesitate to throw out a weeks worth of code that sent you down the wrong rabbit hole and start ove

Empathy is the single most important attribute needed to create any effective team. team work makes the dream work!
I believe it starts first with genuinely caring about other people and being understanding of their situation and skill level. This allows the team to learn and grow collectively.
Simple. If you don't care (through emapathy and understading) your team will self destruct in a very rapid way. Nothing will be accompolished.
It has helped me understand that nothing in life is "black and white" there is an infinite amount of "grey". People rarely understand their own emotions or shortfalls and therefore can't really be expected to understand others. This makes empa
