CTP Skill Center

Learning about the history of Bart. I also learned about Distorted and Negative Thinking.

Started the day by clocking in on Homebase. Then, I went right into lab time. Then, after the 2nd break, we went over some of the lab we are working on for this week. I got some help setting up my VM Windows 10. Then, at the end of the day, we did the “what I did today” post and clocked out of Homebase. Later this evening, I’ll do more on Skillsoft.

We reviewed the assignments due on Thursday and were reminded that Mock Interviews will be held on Thursday with Mechanics Bank. We completed an elective assignment. Tomorrow we will have check-ins with either Carrie or Devin.

Typing practice. I spent most of my day working on my Core Training Portfolio. Mike helped me polish this presentation.

I continued working on remote connectivity from where I stopped today. After troubleshooting and researching, I figured Windows 10 Home doesn’t allow RDP connection, so I had to spin up a new Windows 10 PRO, which is working fine except I can’t ping from my home PC. Another issue to troubleshoot tomorrow.

Today was a little less intense. This week is electives week. It’s where we work on anything listed that we want. On Thursday, we have MOCK interviews. I’m a little nervous because I haven’t interviewed very much since I was in CTP in 2023. This part of the class is not my most experienced. Although last year, I was pretty good at it. With that being said, I worked on the Job/Research on Mechanics Bank. That project made me feel a little at ease.

Today, I continued to work on the Remote Connectivity lab. I was able to install remote connectivity tools on my computer and the Windows VM. Then, I was able to successfully connect to the Windows VM from my computer using the tools.

Today I did my first PRO Elective, and I chose Company Job Research. I did it on Sonoma County Human Services Employment and Training Division.

It was also my first time writing 2 emails and setting them to be delivered on Thursday. Yay me!

Salesforce CRM Intro – tested step-by-step input of data in the Trailhead navigation exercise. Excellent test of perseverance, willingness to ask questions, and dedication to completing the assignment. Reviewed next assignment: created an account (company, industry, # employees), contact (customer name & email), and opportunity (target product to be sold, new customer, best pitch – value proposition), completed assignment saved badge. For Thursday’s assignment: create a task & reminder in Google, take a screenshot. Read the Distraction and Negative Thinking – Accountability assignment, answer questions 9, 11, 13, then add answers to a blank Google document, and share the document with the instructors at [email protected] 

Started with logging into Zoom a little before 2 pm. Then I clocked in on Homebase. Then we looked over the plan for the week. Then we started on our pre-lab worksheet. Then, after checking in, I started on the main lab for the week. then made our “What I did Post” for the day and then clocked out for the day.
