We worked on creating a Word Press page with our desired BerkMart title, created a bio and uploaded a professional image. I had my highest typing score: 54 words per minute at 99% accuracy.
I found the percipio “Making Difficult Conversations Meaningful” to be very valuable. I also enjoyed considering a BerkMart product and its price.
My typing speed went up by 2 wpm. The accountability assignment is somewhat of a new challenge.
Today I started with clocking in at HomeBases. I also turned in my weekly article at 1 pm. Then we jumped into our lab for the week. Then I posted my “what I did today,” and then I clocked out of HomeBase for the day. Later this evening, I will do some Skillsoft videos.
My typing speed has decreased as I have been doing Typing Games, and it has shown me that when I used to type the letter R, I was using the wrong finger. It’s hard trying to relearn something correctly. Alas, I will survive.
BerkMart New Item Addition has been fun.
Today I started to work on the Coding and Web Servers lab. I was able to complete the pre-lab and got to create a Scratch project.
Today I worked on the coding and Web Servers Pre-Lab assignment. I gained basic knowledge of coding, programming languages, and web servers. I researched terms such as HTML, HTTP, SSH, firewalls, Port 80, and Port 443. I also practiced using Scratch to understand how coding blocks work and created a simple project where Scratch cat talks and moves.
I learned something about myself that I hadn’t realized. I also learned that your answers to a lot of questions in an interview can have multiple answers.
In class, we practiced the STAR method. It’s an excellent way to prepare for behavioral interview questions. We also worked on answers to a variety of other types of interview questions.
It was interesting to hear how Carrie and other classmates answered questions.
I started with clocking in at Homebase, where, by the way, I forgot to clock out the day before…. opps. Then we talked about the STAR method. Then, after the break, we worked more on our list of interview questions. Then, after another break, we went around the room, so to speak, and did a few of the questions that were on the interview list we were working on filling out. Then we did a fun little question about talking about what we like to do for fun. Then we started wrapping up for the day, doing our “What I Did Today” post and the CTT Self-assessment, and also clocked out for the day.
Today in employment services, we discussed using the STAR method to answer interview questions and how to avoid discussing personal issues or life with an interviewer.
