Lambda School is focused on two things: cramming an almost complete college-level, topic specific curriculum into a short time and taking students from zero to employable. We work on that second goal right from the beginning. This week we’ve been tasked to think about and articulate our goals with an emphasis on making them SMART. Here are mine which I plan to update and revise as time passes.
- Identify location preferences if any
- Areas of specialization
- Employer preferences or targeting
- Work on growing network
- participate more in TL, BH, AH zoom chats?
What I look for in an employer The number one quality of a employer is support. A supportive culture is one where employees can enjoy working with one another and don’t spend much time dreaming about or actually looking for employment elsewhere. Support means employee retention! Other ways to show support might be tuition reimbursement, gym membership subsidation, and community involvement projects. All of these lead to better individual employees. Better employees make the company better!
