CTP Skill Center

Today, I posted three good jobs. I’m getting better at it the more I do it. I’m glad I can help SJS participants find jobs, and it’s also beneficial for my own job search. I’m getting acquainted with all the various job sites and signing up on them too. Besides that, I attempted to log into the CTP email account for graduation outreach again, but I still cannot access it. Hopefully we will resolve that on Monday. Have a good weekend!

October 30, 2026: Today, I did a short interview practice, made sure my resume and cover letter look top-notch, and practiced answering some non-traditional interview questions.

October 26-30, 2026: This week was a great wrap-up! I did some extra practice with Google Docs and Google Sheets, finished up my core training portfolio, practiced roleplaying with MicroSIP, and finally practiced answering some more interview questions.

Today we started with answering three interview questions while being recorded. I found that this was hard for me, but I’m happy that I had answers for each question. I think I need to work more on being relaxed and adding more to my answers. After that I watched a video about LinkedIn profiles and finished filling out my interview questions document. Lastly, we answered nontraditional interview questions, with some occasional traditional ones. I think the nontraditional ones are easier to feel relaxed about and helped me be more relaxed for the traditional ones.

Today we have an independent recording of mock interview questions to be reviewed for next week. Then, in the second hour, we work independently on mock interview questions or other activities to work with our job list. I worked on my resume and some mock interview questions. In the last hour, we worked on non-traditional questions to get us more comfortable with just answering questions as a conversation and not getting so tense when answering questions. This week I was able to get my 36 hours of outside training done and move on to the next class sjs starting next week.

Today we first each went in with Carrie (our teacher) and recorded three questions (two we were given in advance and one mystery one). This way we can watch them in the future and get insight into our performance. Then I worked on filling in gaps on my responses to common interview questions. And then we practiced interview questions but also focused on ones that weren’t as common to try to get us out of our shells and more less stiff.

Graton Dental Group in Rohnert Park is seeking a Front Office Assistant on a permanent as-needed basis. The assistant is the first point of contact for patients: scheduling appointments, answering phones, ordering supplies, and helping with billing and vendor coordination. Pay and exact schedule are not stated; hours vary based on need. Cross-trained dental assistant experience is preferred but not required.

Today, my main responsibility as an administrative associate was to research and post new job and volunteer opportunities on our site. I started by exploring platforms like Dice, VolunteerMatch, and SimplyHired, where I successfully identified and published three strong listings. Additionally, I researched six sponsor email contacts that were missing or had bounced back to ensure our outreach efforts remain accurate. The goal of my work was to maintain complete resources and support our team’s ongoing external communications.
