CTP Skill Center

I responded to questions Carrie asked in class and worked on my work history for my SSDI application.

Today I learned that I should be more to the point on the negative leadership and more general. I don’t need to vent in that intervew space. I also checked in about my employment goals today.

Today we did formal mock interviews with real interviewers. I dressed business professional and practiced calming down before, and during the interviews. I gained some really valuable interview practice, and some extremely valuable feedback about what I did well, and areas for improvement. I’m starting a document of interview feedback that I can reference for a lifetime. I found this feedback extremely useful and I’m excited to practice it.

Today we presented our tech articles to the class, which I always find so fascinating. I love being able to talk about technology with fellow enthusiasts and talking about where the different technologies we discuss converge.

For the remainder of class, we worked on the “building a PC for a purpose” lab, which I thoroughly enjoyed, as I am a total computer geek. I discovered it is much cheaper to purchase the parts and build your own PC, rather than purchasing a pre-assembled one from a manufacturer

Today I learned how much cheaper it is to build a pc vs buying a pc. I enjoyed learning about which part does what. Also had the core check in and that was good to know I need to write everything down.

Today, I learned about the difference between a virtualized PC that has better specs than an inexpensive office PC. I spoke to Devin and Carrie about my progress in class, and overall, I’m doing well! Lastly, I spoke to Jose about my portfolio.

I practiced my typing, worked on my elective and Berkmart Conference assignments, practiced creating Zoom meetings, and had my check-in meeting with Carrie and Devin.

Today I continued typing practice. I had my check-in monthly meeting where I learned various strategies for how to find a company that aligns with my values, like checking Glassdoor and networking strategies. We learned how to set up a Zoom meeting, and we all joined eachother’s zoom meetings that we created ourselves. I also did some more reading on how to answer interview questions.

I typed on MonKey Type and took a screenshot . Then I shared it with the Chat.

I started working on a google sheet Assignment in elective-assignments.

I had an interview with Devin and Carrie

We learned how to invite others as a host via Zoom Meeting, and we all did it individually.

Checked in with Carrie and Devin about my progress through CTT. Worked on a lab where we researched and set aside parts as if we were building out our own PCs. Also had a 1-1 with Jose to go over my CTT portfolio project.
