 #2: Supporting Others in Your Cohort in Their Job Search
 Fill out this part only if you have already secured a job prior to graduation. This part is optional.

 As a member of the Turing community, your support in the job search makes a big difference for your peers as they pursue their first position. Complete the following action steps to

 Action Step #1: Identify 1-2 people from your PD Peer Group who you will continue to check in with during the first 30 days post-graduation. Describe what you will do in these check-ins, how you will help keep them motivated, and how you will follow up with these cohortmates afterwards.
 I've talked with Derek about having him as my peer check in buddy. Derek and I will check in over slack and sometimes when he comes in on Tuesdays for Mod 5. We will talk about interviews and go over cover letters and resumes. Meeting in person to update each other on progress would be great, and then following up on slack would work for us as well. 

 Action Step #2: With the person(s) you identified above, describe one area of the job search that you feel particularly skilled in and will commit to helping them with on a regular basis during the first 30 days. Examples include: review outreach emails, review blog posts, practice storytelling, attend meetups or other events with them, etc. Why do you feel that you can help in this area? What will your help look like?
 I feel skilled in writing and reviewing resumes. I have been on hiring committees in the past, and feel like I have a good understanding of how a resume should be structured. I also enjoy reviewing cover letters. I would like to open up communication through slack to have Derek feel comfortable to send me files to read over and give suggestions on. 

 Action Step #3: Utilize your networking experience in the job search to recommend 1-2 people whom you've met that others in your cohort would benefit from meeting as well. Describe how you will make the introductions for at least 1 person in your cohort and when you will execute this by.
 I have a great friend that works as a software engineer at Gather and she has mentioned that she would be up for meeting people for coffee. I can connect people in my cohort with her if they are interested in learning a new language (c#), or just want to talk with someone in the field.
