For now, I am done with the google slides mock interview presentation but I will make any changes on Wednesday after Carrie looks over it. I found and posted three job listings for today within the first hour. I spent the other hours looking for job fairs in the Bay Area being a lot of CTP participants live close to there. I downloaded a picture for one of the job fairs but it did not work out so I hope it looks okay on the post. I found a job fair or employment fair where they help people get a second chance at employment. I also was able to find a interview workshop that is virtual and online making it easier for someone who is unable to leave the house or does not drive. The information for the interview workshop I could not copy and paste so I had to write it on the post myself. It was a little challenging going back and forth but it is always good practice when I have to copy something while typing at the same time. Wednesday, I hope to finally finish the googles slides presentation and start working on something new. Overall today was a slow day but still a productive day.

What I Did Today
Today we watched a video about job searching, and I learned how important it is to use multiple job search sites, not just 1 or a small number of them. During the professional documents lab, I continued to work on my resume, adding more impact statements. Then we did practice interviewing with our peers, which was really helpful because we strategized on how best to answer different types of questions.
What I Did Today
Today we watched Devin’s presentation on applying to jobs then look at different job websites on the job log. I created an account for a few sites and discovered old accounts. I also worked on the Interview Q&A document to update and add to my answers. Then in breakout rooms shared come Interview Q&As and provided feedback on answers. I found the feedback from our group helpful.
What I Did Today
Today, we discussed mock interviews held on Wednesday. It was a great experience. Using our job log website to search other job listing sites was good. I found a few I didn’t know about. I also learned about Chatbox and how to use it. We practiced interview questions with partners. I’m learning how to give better responses.
