#Noah Peden's Module 4 Action Plan This is your deliverable from the Job Search Strategies I session

Module 4 Goals

• Have a solid understanding of some backend frameworks
• Have 1-3 job offers by the end of module four

Strategy To Achieve Goals:

Coding (both including your module 4 curriculum and anything outside of it):

I will focus the languages and projects that I'm working on to be with apps and ideas that interest me rather than just sticking with whatever project idea I'm given. The more creativity I put into my work the more I'll learn.

Opportunities Research:

I'll just keep meetinw with people for coffee and branching out from the contacts that I make. I'll also keep monitoring Denver Devs job channel and LinkedIn for companies that I want to work for.

Cold Outreach/Network:

I will reach out to companies that seem like the type of place I'd like to work, and keep asking old alumni for meetings and advice

Personal Branding (A personal branding section is optional):

Post more things on LinkedIn and Twitter. Maybe to try to connect my passion for travel and education more.

Timeline:

At least two meetings a week with professionals in the field. I'll do most of my outreach over the break.

Module Tasks:

Learn Node and Express and have several job interviews

Weekly Tasks:

Reach out to four new people, complete a project per week. Update personal site

What I Will Work on with Meg

I'd like to work on going from meeting for coffee to getting an interview. Although I guess that'll only happen with a combination of luck and keeping in contact
