 Why do you want mentoring in the job search?
 I need something to help hold me accountable to a schedule. I have been doing this search since July and am feeling both the stress of needing a job and burnout from Turing life in general. Having the added responsibility of someone checking in with me will help keep me motivated. Also, I feel like there's always little tidbits I could be doing if I only knew about it; you all have that info! I'd love whatever help I can get. 

 How will you hold yourself accountable to balancing time for your job search and following your mentor and group's advice?
 I'm going to have to stick to a strict schedule. I did that in mods 1 and 2 especially, so I have confidence I can continue. Everything goes on Google Calendar and I use multiple reminders throughout the day. Also, I'm good at communicating these things to a team and having them know what's happening helps hold me accountable. 

 What is the focus of your job search (timeline, ideal job, steps you’ve already taken)? Be as specific as you can.
 Honestly? I need a job yesterday, haha. I've been searching for a long time and at this point feel that as long as the atmostphere doesn't feel abusive, I'm in. Many people in the industry have told me that the first job is the hardest to get, and leads to every other job, so the goal is to get the first one. As far as stepst I've already taken, I've send out resumes/coverletters, done a few job shadows and coffee dates. I've had a few interviews, one of which led to my first real rejection 🙌🏼! I've had 2 take home code challenges, and one technical interview. I feel really good about my ability to do a behavioral interview, but my ability to speak with authority on code feels shakey, so I'd love help with that.
