Job Search Strategies I session
List your longterm goal(s) of what you want to accomplish by the end of module 4
- Be in serious contention for two jobs
In this section, break down your longterm goal into smaller goals that you want to work on each week and/or day
To be in serious contention for two jobs by Week 6 of Mod 4, I would need to...
- MODULE: have at least three interviews during the module, and prepare for each interview with 1-2 mock interviews. .... coffee meetings, Meetups, targeted networking
- WEEKLY: have at least 2 new conversations per week
- DAILY: I would need to send at least 1 cold/warm outreach message per day
How will you focus your learning to accomplish your longterm goal?
- Continue to do CodeWars & Exercisms
How will you continue researching companies and contacts? How will you utilize your Trello Board?
- I ❤️ trello boards, so I will overutilize it if anything!
Who will you reach out to? Have you considered talking with alumni about their own networking practices when they started their job search?
- Already doing it!
What will you do when?
- I've blocked off my mornings during the week for coffee meetings and cold & warm outreach. I'll plan to do research during the weekends.
