This was a great session to push me to start doing what I know I need to do. Outreach and networking does not come naturally for me but it will be absolutely necessary for me to start a job.

For Mod 3, I'm going to

Find a mentor by reaching out to Turing mentors and try to connect. I'm also going to reach out to old friends or acquantances (who I perhaps haven't kept up as much as I would like) in the technology field to catch up and see what think of my path and where I should be headed.
Over the break I'm going to finish my personal website, make a business card and complete the first draft of my cover letter and resume so I can be prepared as soon as I see jobs that I feel are exactly what I would like to do.
I'm going to start identifying and researching my dream companies that do the kind of work or have the same kind of mission that I have. I'll try to find connections to those companies however I can and, if none exist, I'll work on building my own connections.

	*** Microagressions
	I appreciated the point of the session as it gave voice to some scenarios I feel happen to me on a daily basis and helped teach me how to handle it. Also, I realized I was unconsciously committing microagressions myself which was an important lesson.

	*** Attention economy
	As a mother, this session kind of freaked me out. I realized I was spending too much time being pulled away from the people I love and that I need to keep an eye on my kid to keep them on track as well. I really appreciated the tips and tools given to help me unplug. In the future I hope to be cognisant of this knowledge as I build sites that might try to pull people away as well.

	*** Jobs from Blogs (Mod 4 gearup)
	I'm a former journalist, and I appreciated learning the difference in writing technical blogs vs personal blogs. I was happy to brainstorm my own idea for a blog and I can't wait to get on it now.

	# Post-Grad Job Search Action Plan Template: Your first 30 Days
	You are so close! You've spent the last 7 months working towards this -- graduation and finding your new dream job! This plan is meant to help you streamline your goals and get on the path to employment as a software developer during the first 30 days after graduation. Please fill out the plan by copying this template into a gist to submit in the markdown that you submit for your [portfolio](https://gist.github.com/LouisaBarrett/03aa5567937943ca274437205bc35271).

	As you fill out this plan, consider how your first job search will set the tone for your career trajectory in the software industry. After all, your first developer job should align with those goals as well so that you're on track for a longterm successful career.

	Note: If you have already secured a job prior to graduation, skip to the second step to look at ways you can support the rest of your cohort. However, this step is optional.
