CTP Skill Center

Today I started to work on the Networking lab. I learned how to set up a virtual router, and we will work on getting the virtual machines to connect to the network.

I forgot to clock in on Homestead so I did it when I realized it. We started a new Networking project and created a new ticket. We opened the pre-lab instructions and answered some questions based on our existing knowledge. Then we took the terminology list and filled in the definitions. I primarily used YouTube because of the graphics and detailed explanations. We then worked on pfSense and was troubleshooting why our VM was circumventing pfSense to connect the internet. We will be exploring the network adapters and how it affects the CTT router (connect the VM with pfSense using the internal network adapter 1?)

I typed as usual.

We all practiced and played the roles of a customer and an employee.

I have been working on “Accountability, Flyer Research“.

Today I acted as both a customer service rep and a customer in a
Sunshine Store exercise. I also made currency change in Nigerian dollars and

submitted my Percipio/Skillsoift work.

Some of the things I did today include the Sunshine Express Cashier Script training with my peers, and also work on my professional documents.

We did typing practice, and I’m improving. We role-played as employees or customers at Sunshine Express, gaining valuable practice in customer service. We then had some lab time where I started on my flyers research. I think the clearer and more accessible the flyer is, the better.

Clocked-in to Homestead. We practiced researching companies and used Delta Dental as an example. We did ice breakers and practiced interview questions like “What’s your weakness”, “Name a time you had a challenge or conflict and how did you resolve it?”, and 1 more I can’t recall. We discussed participating in Toastmasters, which is a public speaking club to help people refine their communication skills.

Worked on my resume. Practiced company search. Worked on interview questions.

Today, we learned how to research a company before an interview. We gained several resources for this research that I find very helpful. During the documents lab, I decided to use the CTP template. I’m copying and pasting from my old resume into the new template, updating things as I go along. We then did interview questions, which were challenging but very good practice.

Today I learned about researching a company. I continued to work on the interview questions and practiced some interview questions with the group.
