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

• I actually have a couple people I plan to connect with before the end of this mod. My first is a family friend through my girlfriend. Jim was actually the one who suggested I look into to Turing, he's been a programmer for nearly 30 years. I want to reach out with jim to connect and ask him advice on getting into the industry.
• In my Turing network I was to reach our to my mentor Emily and talk with her about how she got her job, and what tips she may have for me in preparing for getting into the industry. When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet
• I Plan on contacting Jim via email and up a one on one meeting with him, most likely at a coffee shop. Emily is out of state so I plan on slacking her and seeting up a facetime call with her. What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them
• I've actually not had the oppurtunity to meet Jim yet, but he has expressed interest and I want to try and meet face to face with him a few times before Turing is over to ask him as many questions as possible.
• While Emily does not live her I plan to continue to talk with her and post Turing plans, and how to best prepare for interviews. What other steps will you take to start building a stronger network in the tech community?
• I recentley got an out of network contact for the company beatport. As my personal story suggests, I previously was a DJ and music producer, and a company like beatport would be an ideal fit for me. I plan on connecting with Katy the technical recruiter over our next break, and hopefully meeting with her in person to talk about Beatport. I am super excited about this!
