Leveraging Just-In-Time Learning
During the interview process, I found myself needing to quickly grasp Python—a programming language not covered in Launch School's curriculum. To my surprise, within just a few days, I successfully passed a take-home test and a live coding interview.
During the interview process, I found myself needing to quickly grasp Python—a programming language not covered in Launch School's curriculum. To my surprise, within just a few days, I successfully passed a take-home test and a live coding interview. I attribute this achievement to the strong foundation I established through Launch School's mastery-based learning approach in the Core curriculum and the Just-In-Time learning approach in the Capstone program.
The emphasis on fundamentals not only provided me with a deep understanding but also instilled a problem-solving mindset. The Just-In-Time learning model employed during the Capstone program was a game-changer. It not only refined my existing skills but also offered the knowledge needed to tackle new challenges effectively. With this foundation, I approached the addition of new skills with confidence, knowing that I had a solid framework to relate and build upon.
I am immensely grateful for the comprehensive and practical education that has not only helped me secure a great job in tech but has also paved the way for the beginning of my career.
