  • If you will not be able to complete your journal this week, please provide an update for the Career Dev team on when you'll have it completed here (remember to reflect on what you have control over, what you want to try differently this week, and what habits you can utilize to get back on track):

Power of self-reflection

What is challenging about self-reflection?

-Answer: in order to be able to self-reflect, I have to be self-aware. Being self-aware is hard.

How can you continue to build the habit of self-reflection at Turing?

-Answer: by being open to feedbacks and criticisms.

Social identity mapping

  • First, create you own social identity map on a piece of paper (or print this out):
  • Outer ring: write words that describe your given identity
  • Middle ring: list aspects of your chosen identity
  • Center: write your core attributes—traits, behaviors, beliefs, values, characteristics, and skills that you think make you unique as an individual. Select things that are enduring and key to who you are.

After you complete your map:

  • Underline the items that are important to you
  • Put a + beside the items that you believe clearly demonstrate that you fit into the tech industry
  • Put a - beside the items that you believe do not demonstrate that you fit into the tech industry
  • Put a ? beside the items that you're unsure how they could show your ability to contribute to the tech industry

Reflect:

What does your social identity tell you about what you already bring to the tech industry?

-Answer: good work ethics and persistents

What would it look like for some of your minuses or question marks to turn into pluses? In other words, how could some of these traits be assets for the tech industry?

-Answer: I will be able to have more patience and be thorough in my work and also be thorough in analyzing/dissecting projects.

Values mapping Pull out 5 values for each bullet below from this list:

Always valued:

Often valued:

Sometimes valued:

Seldom valued:

Reflect:

What do these values tell you about yourself?

Workview & Lifeview

Summarize what good, worthwhile work means to you (Tip: this is NOT about what work you want to do but about why work matters to you):

Lifeview: summarize what you value in life; what matters to you?

Where do your views on work and life complement each other?

Where do they clash?

Does one drive the other? How?
