Today we trained on what’s appropriate to do in a job and what not to do. For example, not appropriate to miss meetings with your supervisor without communication. Talk to your supervisor about any problem that arises, because we want to protect our jobs. Then we had lab time, and I worked on my resume. Last hour we practiced interview questions. What do I see myself doing in 5 years? What are my strengths? I need to give some meat to my answers. Thank you, Carrie.

Went over resume and cover letter.

Today I worked on my interview questions and answers and got about halfway through. It is interesting to see how my answers have changed since the first time I did this. I also had interview questions that were asked in the room. That was a little intimidating but good practice for someone like me who gets a little fearful in crowds

Started the day by clocking in at HomeBase. Then we had an Employment Services presentation on Workplace Attitude. Then we had lab time to work on our resumes, cover letters, and so on. Then we had mock interview reviews. Then we did our Self-Assessment review for the week and the What I did today post. then clocked out of HomeBase for the day and hello weekend!.

started off the day by clocking into HomeBase. After I met two new people who will be joining me in next week’s CTT classes and showed and talked about articles we found. then did a Google Sheets assignment for most of the day. Then, to close out the day, we did a “What I did today” post and clocked out of HomeBase.

The class completed a google sheets project re: Girl Scouts’ Cookie Customers, their types of cookie purchases, the amounts of each type of cookie box each customer wanted, then calculated boxes sold per customer and the sales amount for each as well as the totals by column. There was an extra credit project using the formula =RoundUp to calculate how many extra boxes would be sold if sales of them increased by 20% and how would that affect total sales of boxes and total revenue!

Today was fun! We sold Girl Scout cookies on Google Sheets. I was so proud of myself. I was focused and very much into this project. I was very intimidated by spreadsheets because I find myself wanting to learn but getting frustrated with them. But today I was challenged, and I got it done. I always think repetition is the key to anything. You can do anything well when you keep repeating the skill.

I learned how to do a spreadsheet involving sales.

I started by clocking in with Homebase. Then we listened to Shana’s article about GTA 6 malware, and it was interesting to hear about it. Then I took a break. Then, create a new Virtual Machine on VirtualBox named Debian. It was a long installation process, but I finally finished it. Then we ended the day with the ” What did I do today ” post. I finished the class by clocking out of Homebase.

Today I began my second day as an administrative associate, with my main task for the day to research and post job listings and upcoming job fairs onto the CTP skill center website. I searched the standard job sites before posting my 3 job listings into a clean and compact summary. I additionally posted more job and career fair flyers with comprehensive information and instructions to properly register to the event with the intention to help job seekers should they decide to participate.
