- **JavaScript cardio**: In these exercises you'll become more familiar with various JavaScript methods and practice with them. You'll watch videos and code along
- **Algorithms**: In these exercises you'll practice your ability to think in steps, by doing programming challenges
- **Technical assignments**: This is the bulk of this module. You'll prepare for the job interview process, by making _real_ technical assignments that come from _real_ companies.
- **Questionnaire**: every week you'll receive a questionnaire containing questions that will challenge you to think about what you want out of your career. This will help you become more fluent and confident in presenting yourself in a job interview.
- **Questionnaire**: every week you'll (have to complete a) questionnaire containing questions that will challenge you to think about what you want out of your career. This will help you become more fluent and confident in presenting yourself in a job interview.

In the final week you are asked to record a "video job application". This will be the your test to see to what degree you are able to present yourself professionally and confidently.

## Mentorship & accountability

In this module you'll be paired up with a mentor, an established senior developer that will guide you along in the process of preparing for a job. Each Sunday you'll check in with them to share your learnings and get feedback. Depending on their availability they can also provide help (remotely) during the week.

The mentor can help you face dilemmas on how to approach the projects, will give you feebdback and code reviews and be there to help you with what you need for a successful completion of the module. Having said that, please keep in mind that the mentor won’t be an active participant of this practice but will respond to your requests. It is **YOUR** responsibility to ask for help and to make the best out of this opportunity.

During this module we expect you to behave like a **professional developer**. This means that:

- You have meet deadlines
- If for any reason you are late with you submissions, you need to communicate with your mentors and colleagues.

Failing to do this more than once will automatically drop you from this program and you will have to wait until a new edition starts. We as HYF as well as your mentors are available to help you go through this process but it is your responsibility to make it a success. Think of this module as a real job. If you fail to deliver in time and to communicate you will get yourself and your team in trouble.

In addition, you should also keep yourself accountable by communicating with other classmates. That's not always that easy. Therefore, HackYourFuture has created a special channel on Slack that you can use in order to discuss, ask for help and keep your motivation. It's called [#postgraduationpack](https://hackyourfuture.slack.com/archives/C010LE1F9U7).
