Today, Carrie began by reviewing how to effectively use the STAR method for interviews. We practiced answering five behavioral questions. Next, we worked on the Professional Documents Lab, where I focused on improving my cover letter and resume. I feel like both are getting stronger. Finally, we worked on interview questions, our professional assessment, and our WordPress blog.

Today, I started off learning the STAR method and I worked on some of interview questions. I then worked on my LinkedIn profile. I then worked on discussion with my co-workers on interview questions.

We worked on our resume, cover page and interview questions.

I learned to explain my stories in interviews better, and I learned how to let conversations flow better in conversations. I learned how to better my resume with impact statements and use STAR statements when answering questions. Lastly, I worked on my EMP Interview Questions and Answers.

Today, I continued to hone my skills as an active job seeker, learning the importance of practice to refine my skills. I learned about the STAR method when answering interview questions that ask for a story.

Today I worked on my resume and worked to answer questions related to times I have run into conflict that I can share in interviews.

I really struggled today.

My resume is in good shape but I do need to spend some time revising my answers to potential interview questions.

That being said – I had an interview with a retail store earlier this week and I’m optimistic I’ll get selected for the role. I’ll likely find out on Monday. Stay tuned 🙂

Today in class, we worked on our job logs. Once we were done with our job logs, we reviewed the interview questions as a group. Once we were done with that, we had time to do our self-assessment, and we had time to work on our what we did todays.

I worked on my interview questions today, and I made proper interview answers.

Today we started with our typing practice, and I can already see improvement using the new keyboard. I also completed my Core Training Portfolio. Mark reviewed it with me and recorded my presentation for the final day of the Pro Customer Service and Admin Training course. The recording went well, and the presentation looks great. I’m looking forward to that day—it will be a fun and rewarding way to wrap up this training

Today was productive. First I presented on an article about Young Adults and the Future of News published by the Pew Research Center to Jose, Christopher and Devonte.

Following that we dived into project work for Project Inception. I made more progress on my project and got more familiar with networking multiple VMs together.

Also had an oppportunity to connect further with Christopher and Devonte about their interview experiences during the mock interviews held yesterday.

Overall – Great day. Productive.
