What are your goals for the week? #131

It's mid June. Later this week is Juneteenth. There's a celebration downtown at the Historical Park that was a fort during the Civil War. It's a night so they can have fireworks.

What are your goals for the week?

  • What are you building?
  • What are you working on this week?
  • Are you attending any events this week?

  • Continue Job Search.
    • Network, Send emails.
  • Project work.
    • Content for side project.
    • Work on my own project.
    • Build for DEV's Front end Challenges.
  • Blog.
  • Events.
    • Thursday Virtual Coffee.
  • Run a goal setting thread on Virtual Coffee(VC) Slack.
  • Virtual Coffee is holding our "Get Job Ready" challenge in June and July. The theme for the next two weeks is building projects and updating your portfolio.
  • Fixed series tracker. At some point I missed attaching the series tag to some posts so the title had correct number but the drop down list didn't. Been corrected.

How I did last week.

  • 🚧 Continue Job Search.

    • Network, Send emails. * Applied * Got a fast rejection from a place that said the job was remote, but then had a knock question "are you ok working on site?" No you're in another state.
    • Had a call from another place but it was a 45 minute commute without rush hour traffic.
  • Project work.

    • Content for side project.
    • Work on my own project.
    • ✅ Build for DEV's Front end Challenges. Built a Father's Day Dad Joke page.
  • ✅ Blog. Blogged about the Page I made for DEV June Challenge. Did some content for a hobby blog.
  • Events.
    • ✅ Monday Torc Conference checklist with Lawrence Lockhart
    • ❌ Monday Torc Techcommute with Rizel Scarlett Was not streaming when I tried to watch.
    • ❌ Thursday Virtual Coffee. Head down in code to make a deadline.
  • ✅ Run a goal setting thread on Virtual Coffee(VC) Slack.
  • Virtual Coffee is holding our "Get Job Ready" challenge in June and July. This week's theme is Elevator Pitch!
    • Last week's challenge was to update Resume, linkedIn, and GitHub. I need to finish that.
  • ✅ Clear vines out of garden.

Your turn what do you plan to do this week?
