I will reach out to Sarah, Isaac, Harris, and Mary because I know them personally and they are established in the industry. I will try to set up mock interviews with them and have them continute to help me rehearse technical questions. I will reach out to all of them the first week I am out of Turing.

Post-Grad Job Search Action Plan Template: Your first 30 Days

Design a 40-hour "work week" that provides time for:

	# Feedback III Reflection

	* What are you doing well as a pair programmer and collaborator?
	I am good at reading my partners and knowing when they are struggling, and responding to that with a project or pairing strategy pivot.
	I am good at adapting to my partners needs. I am good at setting a clear direction and organizing the project. I am good at addressing
	areas in which my partner needs a bit of help with understanding.

	* How do you use your strengths as a team member?
	I am quite strategic in my approach to organizing the project and delegating work. I use my developer strength to challenge my partners to
	level up in their coding skills. I use empathy to stay present with my partner and respond to anything that isn't working out for them.

	# Feedback II Reflection

	* Date of feedback conversation: 08/24/2017


	* How did you prepare for the conversation?
	I made notes about what my partner did well and how he most contributed to the project as well as areas he could improve and actionable steps he could take.

	* How did the conversation go for you? What was easy about the conversation? What was more difficult?
	The conversation was comfortable and easy. We had been providing feedback to each other throughout the project and had a mid-project DTR, so there were no surprises. I wish he had more feedback for me.

	# Agile Project Management

	* What project management strategies did you use in your projects this module?
	I tried to value my partners over the processes by adapting to their specific needs and strengths in the project.
	I valued their and my own learning experience over having a perfect project.
	I focused on figuring out a working project on my own path vs. forcing solutions because they seemed like the 'correct' solutions.
	I tried to remain flexible to re-evaluate our projected path at anytime and be ready to pivot if we needed to go in a different direction.

	* What went well?
	In gametime, Hector was able to learn more from the project because I prompted a pivot of out pairing strategy when it proved to be unproductive.

	# Cold Outreach I Deliverable:

	* Name of contact
	* The mentor (or alum) I contacted is Mary Beth Burch.

	* Date of contact
	* 08/24/2017

	* Outcome (i.e., did you get a response? If not, what is your follow-up plan? Did you meet? When? What was the result?)
