I watched a video on how to get the most out of LinkedIn. I revised my resume and cover letter for a position on Indeed. I answered interview questions in preparation for next week’s mock interviews. It was good practice.
What I Did Today
Today in employment services, I continued to update my LinkedIn profile, my resume, and cover letter. We ended the class with some interview questions and answers.
What I Did Today
Today we watched a video about LinkedIn, and discussed how to improve our LinkedIn profiles. I then got some good feedback on my resume and made some small changes to it. I made some changes to my LinkedIn as well. Then we had interview question practice, which always gets easier with time.
What I did today
Today, we learned how to set up a profile on LinkedIn. Then, I worked on my resume. Finally, we practiced interview questions.
What I Did Today
Today at CTP, I spent time continuing my search for job listings for our participants. I found a few solid opportunities that I think could be a good fit, especially for those looking to get their foot in the door and build experience. I’m hoping some of these leads turn into real opportunities for people in the program.
I also kept working on the DEI email outreach project. I made good progress on building out the contact list and getting everything organized. It took some extra research, but it’s coming together well. I was able to get through most of it and plan to finish the rest on Monday.
Overall, it was a productive day. I feel good about the progress I made, and I’m looking forward to wrapping up the email list and continuing outreach next week.
What I did Today
Finding three customer service job listings did not take too long and I was to post them on the website. After I finished job listings, I worked on the email project. It was not easy to find an email for one of the companies but I was able to finally find their email. I made to 166 on the email list and I will pick back up there on Monday. I am proud myself for making it to that number and the work that I have been doing. I am so glad it is Friday and I am looking forward to the weekend. It was nice to get a thank you message from Carrie to let me know that I am doing a good job. I am going to enjoy my two days off and relax because I know on Monday I have work to do so I should enjoy it.
