  1. Who your contact is, why you want to connect with them, and what you want to talk about

Jordan Barber, I want to connect with him because he is profecient in JavaScript and works with the language everyday. I would love to talk to him about work life and the interview process. I would love to get more advice from him about specific things that I should practice that will get me ahead when I start my first job in the industry.

  1. When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet

I am going to give him a call or text and offer to buy him a beer to hopefully give him a short break from his newborn and talk about work life and moving forward.

  1. What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them

I'll probably reach out and thank him for taking the time to have a chat with me and I'll probably reach out once I am getting close to starting my job search and maybe have him review my resume or give me tips about interview topics.

  1. What other steps will you take to start building a stronger network in the tech community?

I would like to attend some networking events, and hopefully use my connections in the industry to meet some of their friends and coworkers whenever I can. Maybe reach out and buy them lunch on days when I'm not too busy.
