## Week goals
All of the detailed information about every concept is in your study book. The following goal explanation will link you to the correct place to get studying. Read through the goal description once to get an idea of what you will be learning, then go through the different links (either from the agenda or this goal list).

In the project of next week you will need to manipulate the DOM a lot so refresh your knowledge of those topics that were covered in the explore module over [here](https://github.com/HackYourFuture/explore/tree/main/Week4).

We will also work on our soft skills by reading up on the principles of presenting in the [presentation module](https://github.com/HackYourFuture/presentation-module/).

## Career training I (Your personal brand)

During this module, you will also learn about the different components that make your personal brand (CV, GitHub, LinkedIn, etc). We have compiled all important info for you in [this repo](https://github.com/HackYourFuture/yourpersonalbrand). Be sure to read the full repo for the Career Training session that will happen during this module and start working on your personal brand which you will have to hand in at the end of Browsers week 3!

> Note: While working with the DOM we need to also keep thinking about how we can test what we build. Testing using the DOM gets a lot more complicated as we need to somehow interact with the browser during our tests which is not easy. There are ways to do it, but later on in the curriculum we will be going into frontend frameworks that will actually take a lot of the difficulty away. This means for now that we will not be testing our code (if you are interested, your homework is being tested using JSDOM, you can have a look at those tests).

## Week goals
For most of this week you are going to be finishing up your project, there are no new reading materials! Have a look at the project explanation [here](../PROJECT.md) to see what is expected.

You will also get a message from one of the HYF core members to plan a time for your final presentation for the presenation module. See [here](https://github.com/HackYourFuture/presentation-module/blob/main/assignment2.md) what is expected then.

## Career training 1 (Your personal brand)

After the project you will have your first project that you can put on your CV! For now that is, as you will want to add many more in the future as you progress in your abilities. It is therefore time to start thinking about all of the steps required to start the job search and getting accepted to your first programming job. The first step to this will be handled in Career training 1: Your personal brand. This is all about making your CV, GitHub, LinkedIn, etc. stand out. These are the first things employers will look at so it is your first impression and has to be great! We have compiled a big list of information about how to go about creating your personal brand in [this repo](https://github.com/HackYourFuture/yourpersonalbrand).

### Career training 1: Planning

You don't have to do all of this at this moment. Before the end of the Browsers module you will get a message in your class channel about when the Career Training 1 session will be. *Before* that session make sure to have:
- Read the whole [personal brand repository](https://github.com/HackYourFuture/yourpersonalbrand).
- Done the [homework](https://github.com/HackYourFuture/yourpersonalbrand/blob/main/yourcurriculum.md#4-submitting-your-cv-to-the-hyf-team) for the repository.
