Why you want to connect with this person and what you want to talk about

  • I'm planning on connecting with a Turing alumni, Dan Alvarez. He was the front end TA during the Try Coding weekend when I participated, and it was very interesting to hear about his promotion at that time. I want to learn more about how he got his job, how he prepares for interviews, and how to make the decision of which job to accept between a few offers.

When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet

  • I plan on contacting and maybe meeting with him over intermission.

What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them

My professional story draft

Four years ago I was working as a Sales Manager for a hotel in Romania. I have a bachelors degree in Commerce and Tourism and a Master's degree in Marketing, so I thought that working in the industry would be rather fulfilling for me. And it was for a short time. A big life event lead me to moving to the US. It was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, starting from scratch on a different continent. Adjusting to life here was (and still is) a slow process for me. I volunteered as and ESL teacher for a non-profit in Boulder and 6 months later I got a job there as the Event Coordinator, but I realized that, since I am starting my life all over again, I also need a fresh start in my career. That's when I found Turing and I realized that this is the chance for me to try something scary, but fascinating, and work in a place where I get to solve puzzles every day, and feel like time is flying because I'm enjoying it so much. I am looking forward to see where this path

Beginners Guide to Git

About Git

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git allows you to save work on your project, and reference previous states of a project if needed.

Git is Useful Because

  • you can “go back in time” to previous versions of your code
  • you can chunk parts of your work so that you can choose from chunks to keep at a later time
  • you can work in a team on the same project and even the same files
  • you can use branches to separate features of a program
