Today I worked a little bit more on my portfolio. I need to do some work with it outside of class as well. After that I moved onto the event project. Using filters is a great way to transpose data from a google doc to a google sheet. And then the conditional formatting is a nice feature I didn’t realize was an option.
Near the end the election made it difficult to fully focus on working but I still did a good job regardless.
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 Monster, VolunteerMatch, and SimplyHired, where I successfully identified and published three strong listings. Additionally, I wrote five sponsor emails and researched three missing or bounced contacts provided by my supervisor. The goal of my work was to maintain accurate resources and support our team’s ongoing external outreach efforts.
