I'm looking to work with a progressive organization, in a role that has mentoring and community outreach baked into it.
I've been a software writer since 2003, in companies ranging from an enterprise with 17,000 employees, to a small consultancy with only 14, spanning a variety of platforms and programming languages. The heads-down keyboard banging part of the job, while enjoyable, is less interesting to me than opportunities to mentor younger developers, and supporting devs and future devs in my local community.
I've run coding clubs at middle schools [1], taught for Girls Who Code, and have brought students into the office to code for school projects. I've spoken at local tech user groups [2], and organized the first meetup of the Columbus freeCodeCamp chapter. I spearheaded a tech "lunch &amp; learn" program at my current company, and can occasionally be coaxed into writing deep-dives on arcane topics for the company blog [3].
I also enjoy volunteering for non-tech community projects, such as house construction with Habitat for Humanity, mentoring at-risk teens [4], and helping put together Thanksgiving dinner baskets donated to some of the lower-income families that attend school with my daughters.
My ideal place to work would be one that didn't find any of that unusual, and would support me in supporting the community.
