CTP Skill Center

Worked on my linked-in profile. I finally found a perfect banner for making my customer service application stand out better. I answered potential interview questions.. And what I like is that I did not have to rely so much on notes as before. I felt my responses were more spontaneous then they were last month.

Today I was introduced to the ”STAR” method. This is an interview technique. I also worked on my resume and cover letter. To conclude, I did some interview practice. I feel like I’m improving a little each time we practice. Some of these questions are still challenging but this will be something I am determined to improve upon.

I worked on my interview questions and answers. I was inspired by the responses from other students to my interview questions.

In today’s group mock interview, the focus was on delivering concise responses with clear examples, which also aligns with the ongoing effort to refine my LinkedIn profile for a more polished professional presence.

Today we started off with a presentation on the S.T.A.R. method for answering interview questions. I then worked on my professional documents until we switched to interview practice where I was able to practice my answers to different interview questions.

I got to work on my resume and my interview questions and answers. I also got to answer practice my interview questions, and share our responses with the class.

I added a few good resources for job seekers on the CTP job board. I also worked on the ERG Research Project.

Today I started by practicing my typing skills. I then moved on and we presented our weekly tech articles. I then worked on the BerkMart project for a while until we worked on not taking techniques to make ourselves better at keeping notes.

Today I worked on my typing, and then we went over different ways people take notes off of a presentation. I at first used talk-to-speech off Google Docs to record the presentation, It worked, although, after the presentation, the wording did not really make much sense. Then on the next presentation I used the snapshots feature then sent them through email one by one. I still need to learn how to gather pictures and compress them into a PDF.

Today I added my finishing touches to the event project. I was able to review and adapt to the Merging technique that we learned a couple weeks ago to create the name tags for extra credit. Afterwards, we practiced effective note taking skills. I feel like it is important to take notes to retain and review information.
