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 will check in with Ricky. I will help hold him accountable to his 30 day plan by checking in with him to see if he has done the things that he said he would do. I will go to meetups with him if he wants and help him to find job posting that he might like.

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 like I am pretty good at answering behavioral interview questions or questions that ask your opinions on different topics. I can help Ricky transform his stories into answers to interview questions and give him someone to practice with. I think I am good at this because this is basically what job interviews were like in my previous career and have had a lot of practice on both sides of that interview table.

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 not met a lot of people outside of Turing, but once I have some connections at my new job, I will definitely try to introduce them to more Turing folks. One person I did meet, Pete Parker, is a great contact at HealthGrades and I have already introduced someome to him through LinkedIn.
