Section I: Calendar

Section II: Short Answer Responses

Why do you want mentoring in the job search? I feel like every time I go into an interview or I try to figure out ways to talk about myself, I freeze up. I want to feel more confident going in and not feel bad talking about accomplishments. I also feel like I need a lot of help in the technical interviews as I am not feeling confident there.
How will you hold yourself accountable to balancing time for your job search and following your mentor and group's advice? Ever since I've started Turing, I've always relied on my calendar to hold me accountable for my time. I will continue to do this, as well as make to-do lists and make it a point to check in with my mentor. I also know I only have so much time left before school ends and I want to utilize my peers, teachers and school while I still have everyone around as resources.

Project: Light Side

Group Member Names:

Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?): Check things off go step by step. Would love to get to iteration 4, if not push for extensions. Fetching & promise.all in the extension. Separating branches, committing frequently and performing PR's.

Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here): Separate work (try to stray away from driver/navigator to push ourselves to try working separately). Whiteboard to see how components are separated and if we are working separately, then we come in to explain piece by piece what was done.

Schedule Expectations (When are we available to work together and individually? What constraints do we have?): Skype/slack calls/slack messaging/text. Up until 6pm at school. Can meet on Sunday for check in (7/7).

Outreach & Networking Plan

Person I would want to reach out to: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aelschauer/ Ashley (Lawton) Schauer

Why you want to connect with this person and what you want to talk about? I would want to connect with this person because I have a high interest in workin at health grades because my background is in health and wellness. This person also went to Turing and is a woman. I would love to connect with her to see how her experience went and why she decided to get into software engineering, as well as why she chose healthgrades as a company to work for.
When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet? I would reach out via linkedin(as that is where I found her). I also have talked to the technical recruiter at healthgrades and she mentioned she loved Turing students and would like to set up a shadow. I would want to reach out to possibly get coffee, and ask the questions above about experience, etc.
What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them? I feel

I feel that I've always been comfortable in life and I was never happy with that. I didn't understand this until I met my fiance and he was so passionate about certain things in life, mostly his career. I always thought that I would just find a job that I went to school for and be content in doing that. But he pushed me to see that I can really go beyond the limits and I have finally found that passion in my life. I believe everything in life has a cause. I noticed after coming to Turing that I really enjoy the day to day struggle of working through things and finding different ways to do things. I've learned that if I'm not struggling, I'm not truly living. During our week break, I felt lost and needed that 'challenge' in my life. When trainsitioning into this career, I want to have a firm belief that I can make it through. To get to this point, I need to make it a habit to continue to believe myself and have a growth mindset, starting with my work here at Turing.

Looking for a junior software developer who would be a part of an agile development team. This person would be a part of a team that is contiously growing and ready to start creating. Who we are looking for: a person who is ready to be a part of a cutting edge technology company. The successful candidate will have an open-mind, an empathetic design background, and a passion for a cutlure that is ready to help the world. This is a fantastic opportunity for the candidate to engage in positive work in a creative community. We want you to be able to code, test and implement design YOU believe in.

Agile & Feedback Reflection Guidelines

In interviews, you'll be asked about how you approach working in projects, and being able to describe how you utilize agile processes is a great way to help you stand out as a junior developer candidate. This reflection is meant to help you develop this skill.

With that in mind, please answer the following questions in your own gist about your group project:

What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects? I don't feel we had the proper time to really focus on this. I feel like we split off individually more than incorporate sprints, etc. I also feel that we really didn't know the best way to do a sprint. Ex. what that involved, how to complete it successfully, or what the real purpose was.
How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)? We used trello to track out progress

	const { connect } = require('puppeteer');
	const { default: modal } = require('./src/reducers/modal');

	const mapStoreToModalProps= (store) => {
	const { modal:modals=[] } = store;
	return { modals };
	}

	const Modals = connect(mapStoreToModalProps)(class Modals extends React.Component {
	render() {

	import ModalController from 'modal_controller';

	// components/modals/my_modal.js
	class MyModal extends ReactComponent {
	render() {
	if(this.props.modal.active === 'my-new-modal') {
	return <MyNewModal { ...this.props }/>
	}
	return (
	<Modal>

	Project: Game Time - Jeopardy

	Group Member Names: Kayla Larson & Katie Williams & Colby Allen

	Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?): As a group, we want to shoot for proficient -> as long as we can get the game to work we will be happy. If we can make it further, that would be a cherry on top!

	Team strengths & collaboration styles (consider discussing your Pairin qualities here): Driver/navigator -> beneficial for all of us to work together.

	Schedule Expectations (When are we available to work together and individually? What constraints do we have?): Work time ~ 6 pm set aside some time for jsFun, as well as project.

	* What are each of our learning goals for this project? What drives us in this project?
	Develop your skills in writing:
	1. semantic HTML
	1. clean & organized CSS styles
	1. DRY and organized JavaScript
	1. Manipulate the page after it has loaded adding, removing, and updating elements on the DOM
	1. Understand event bubbling and use event delegation on dynamic elements

	- What drives me in this project is the really good feeling I'm going to have when we're done and we know how to do all the requirements.
