CTP Skill Center

Today was my last day for the second round. I researched office jobs and posted them on the skillcenter. I joined a meeting and was assigned a new task, looking up technology websites and checking for paywalls. I worked on that the rest of the day, finding a few that had pop-ups.

We learned how to set up Zoom meetings

Today I spent my first hour researching job listings. My keywords were Administrative Support focused on the Redding area. I found 6 jobs that I put on the website and my favorite had to be the House Boat Front Office. Handling all the administrative stuff that comes with people visiting Lake Shasta, renting, mooring their….seemed cool to me.

Then I moved on to my slides project – Google Sheets Introduction – where I’m pretty much finished. Jose has been out so I will get with him next week for us to review, get feedback and /or make changes. I feel good about it.

For my last hour, I started working on the Emergency Housing spreadsheet. Northern Cali has been covered, so I’m going to start adding resources in the LA and SoCal to the spreadsheet.

Typed for 15 mins, turned in my Party Celebration google sheets project, and learned how to make a zoom meeting

Today we practiced zoom invite. Knowing how to send a Zoom invite is a very valuable skill to have. Thank you Mike!

Today we continued to work on our elective for the week. I submitted my accountability assignment and company/job research elective and worked on Percipio for the rest of the class. Towards the second half of class, the instructors made each student present create a zoom meeting, which I arranged as instructed along with the rest of the class.

We started the day off with 15 min of typing practice, from there we all created zoom meeting by ourself and invited all the participants that were in the class today to join each one of the meetings we created. Sent the invites out to every body in a email and gave the link to join our own personally hosted zoom meetings. Was a fun exercise in playing around with the zoom and learning the other end of zoom’s interface and being the host for 5-10 minutes.

15 minutes of typing practice, worked on Accountability Assignment, and practiced making a zoom meeting.

Today, I started with my fellow students on a typing test. My best for today was 85 wpm with 99% accuracy. Afterwards, we shared our tech articles that we shared on Slack. I talked about a phishing attack on Cisco because I felt like it’s a serious form of scam that even the most organized of companies can fall into. Finally, we did an exercise on how to set up and start Zoom meetings where we all went one-by-one. Sometimes, a few others took a little longer to show up, but it overall went very smoothly. I even learned how to schedule a Zoom meeting for the very first time, making it a nice learning experience.

Today I typed as usual, then…

we spent the whole time setting up zoom meetings which i good as i knew how to do it in the past but forgot. story of my life.
