Why do you want mentoring in the job search? I've struggled with my confidence in my time at Turing and I think it would be very helpful to have someone that is willing to help me feel more confident and prepared going into interviews. I also know that my mentor is someone who has been in the same position at me during some point in their career so I think they would be able to give me a lot of advice that will be helpful in my job search.

How will you hold yourself accountable to balancing time for your job search and following your mentor and group's advice? I will create a well thought out schedule and hold myself to it as much as possible to ensure that I'm actually following through. I will also be really honest with my mentor and my group and tell them when I'm struggling to do something (be it cold outreach, meetups, ect.) so that they can help lift my spirits and motivate me to get it done.

What is the focus of your job search (timeline, ideal job, steps you’ve already taken)? Be as specific as you can. My timeline is basically as soon as possible. I can survive if I have to wait and I don't want to take a job I'm not happy with but I'm willing to make some compromises if it means getting a job sooner. So far I have only applied to a few positions because I haven't really been feeling very confident in myself or my skills but I have yet to get an interview.
