I had my check-in and got to see what the responsibilities were for AWEX. It is making sure that things are ready for the CTT and PRO classes. Posting job listings for everyone to see. I actually like doing that because it allows me to see different jobs I may not have seen for myself. I also like preparing and helping others. I am looking forward to seeing more.

What I Did Today
Today, on Friday in Employment Services, we were informed what we needed to prepare for mock interviews next week with Mechanics Bank. We did some company research on the Mechanics Bank website, as well as Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, or any other news outlets. It was interesting to note that there was a big merger last year, so I wonder what that means for company culture.
In Documents Lab hour, I linked my Sunshine Express Cover Letter from Wednesday to my CTP Job Log. It was a long letter, and it wasn’t perfect, but this was the first chance to write a cover letter in my PRO class.
Finally, we did a few rounds of mock interview practice, fielding questions from the Q&A Interview bank. Even though some of my answers sound finished, I’m struggling with improvising and sounding polished at the same time. Over the previous two months, however, my ability to answer tough questions has gotten considerably better.
Monday is Labor Day, so I hope nobody shows up to work until Tuesday.

What I did today and this week
Today was my first experience with Employment Services. Unlike CTT, it requires flexing muscles I’m not as comfortable with as I’m not the most outgoing person. But in real personal and professional conversations you don’t really have to be. And even though my fellow students have more experience, it was really inspiring to see their strengths and struggles. I can’t help but to instantly root for all of them. And the environment was certainly welcoming, which is important. Of course I know I’m going to make a lot of mistakes and I’m still dreading the mock interviews next week, but I’m ready to jump in anyway. You can’t make an omelet without a view word salads. I hope everyone has a fun long weekend.
As for this week the orientation went by fast but I feel like I’m ready to hit the ground running after recharging this weekend. And I’m excited for what the next three months hold. Even the difficult stuff. Especially the difficult stuff.
What Today Held
Today was an awesome Fri-yay. I really appreciate Carrie aiding in interview prep and having easing answers for questions I or the shift squad brought forth. I appreciate the acceptance on my linkedin profile photo and more info on the appearance of information posted on LinkedIn (I almost randomly just wrote Netflix to describe Linkedin lol). I will probably check in with staff about my LinkedIn about section as well as the new profile photo I will use to replace. It’s my third month but I feel like I may be a bit behind in full readiness to leave class so quickly! We will see 😀
TIL
Today I practiced doing company research. I also worked on my cover letter master template and my interview question answers. In particular, I got some very helpful advice on how I can answer a very difficult question (“What did you like least about your last job?”). I was really stuck on that one, but I feel like I have a decent answer now.
What I Did Today (Plus This Week)
September 4, 2026: Today, I worked on my Accommodations Request Template and answered a few practice interview questions. It was a miracle I managed to stay awake despite not getting much sleep the night before!
August 31 – September 4, 2026: This week was a pretty chill week, especially since it was mostly cloudy and a bit rainy. I worked on some Google Sheets assignments, presented my weekly tech article, and did some interview preparation.
What I did today post
9 4 2026
Today we did some preparation work on how to get ready for our mock interviews next week with Mechanics Banks by answering questions as a group, and then we worked on our different assignments, like LinkedIn profiles or questions and answers for interview questions. Then we did some more mock interview questions as a group, answered them, and got feedback on how to make our answers stronger if we were having trouble answering them.
