CTP Skill Center

We discussed mock interviews. We also worked on interview questions. We also answered some of the questions in class, which was really helpful.

Today, we learned about the STAR method, a very effective way to answer interview questions. We answered several STAR and other interview questions in class, which was really good practice. As a result, my prepared interview questions are much stronger now. I learned to include the “T” for task, which I had left out before.

We practiced a mock interview together, which was a great experience.

Today I clocked into Homebase upon logging. We had a conversation about how the mock-up interview went, we shared our experiences, and reviewed some questions that were not clear. We continued to work on interview questions for the remainder of the class.

Today I learned how to answer situational questions by using the STAR method. I also worked on the interview Q&A worksheet.

We reviewed our mock interview feedback. The presentation was on the STAR method, situation, task, action, and result. We looked at some typical interview questions and shared as a group to practice the STAR method. We expanded on the questions by completing what was in our job log then shared our responses to some of the questions.

It was another great day at CTP! I continued searching for the best job listings to help our participants find opportunities, exploring multiple sites to uncover valuable possibilities. I understand firsthand how much work and positivity it takes to navigate a job search, and I enjoy encouraging participants to keep networking and pursuing the right job—it will come!

In addition, I worked on my business outreach project, connecting directly with outside organizations to see if they are interested in volunteering with CTP. I reached out to several organizations and look forward to receiving responses.

I truly enjoy working at CTP and am grateful for another productive and rewarding week supporting our participants.

Today was the second day of my internship with CTP. Yesterday, i found job listings on Indeed so today I decided to look on Linkedin. I found three IT support jobs for our CTT students and graduates. I will focus on one job section a day such as IT or Customer Service and Administrative or posts three jobs for each category not sure yet but I will learn as I go. Clocked in this morning and sent my morning message. I logged on to Zoom but I did not know on Fridays there is no morning sessions so I just log on three days a week. Carrie helped me fix a problem with WordPress. Remembering to check in during my shift is something I need to work on. ChatGPT really helped me with writing the job listings and I was able to finish within the first hour. I am still learning how to post job listings but it went well today. I am learning a lot with this internship and I am treating it like a really job by getting dressed every morning. Next week will be my first full week and I am looking forward to getting my first assignment and starting my first project.
