18:30 – “Opening the Toolbox”
What do you call a fake noodle? An Impasta!
Imposter Syndrome: the inability to internalize your accomplishments, and a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud.
18:49 – “It’s like self-peer pressure. I’m wearing it, so I feel like I have to live up to the shirt.” – This mentality plays a lot into the mindset of someone who feels Imposter Syndrome, that they need to live up to others’ expectations (whether real or perceived) of them.
21:16 – “Do I belong here? Am I going to be able to pull my weight? They’re paying me to do this?”
28:25 – “Imposter Syndrome can affect you based on your environment.” – Clear expectations on both sides (the developer and the employer/client) plays a huge part in how Imposter Syndrome can affect you.
30:28 – “Imposter Syndrome…maybe has a lot to do with our perception of our knowledge in that sphere relative to other people’s…How we perceive ourselves in relation to others.”
33:00 – “I think having Imposter Syndrome leads to having of a drive to learn the things that you don’t know.”
33:54 – Erin’s Job Hunt Update:
Erin’s contract has just ended. She received lots of constructive, encouraging feedback from individuals from her last job before she left. She wrapped things up and left things as gracefully and positively as possible.
