Today, my main responsibility as an administrative associate was to research and publish new job opportunities on our site. I started by exploring platforms like Idealist and SimplyHired, where I successfully identified and posted three strong job listings. Additionally, I drafted three separate emails for sponsors based on the guidelines provided by my supervisor. The goal of my efforts was to maintain accurate resources and support our team’s external communications.

What I did today post
10 20 2026
Today we mainly worked on lab work with disk imaging, and I got more familiar with true disk imaging and backing up disks to a new partition. After removing the iso file, Windows wouldn’t boot properly to do a proper installation. So I will have to do more research on it tomorrow if we have more time for the lab.
What I Did Today
October 20, 2026: Today, I watched a strange video about AI responses. Then, I did part of the lab project. During the disk imaging step, it was cool to see a fresh new interface displaying the recovery disks and even a custom cursor.
What I did Today
Today we worked on the rest of the lab. Though because Jose is out sick (which happens to everyone), I ran into a problem because there was only one tib file showing up in the class resources file system. So I could only do part 2 and 3 of the lab. But still I’ve learned a lot. Though I’m not a big fan of Acronis True Image because its very laggy and glitchy. Then again we’re most likely using an old version for this lab. Oh well.
Hopefully Jose feels better soon but if he has to take more time to recover that’s fine too. He’s got to do what’s best for him and his recovery (which hopefully is going well). And I was able to do most of the lab
