What I Did Today

Today I researched jobs to post for my peers on CTP. I noticed since coming back to the program that there seems to be less roles showing up in search. I suspect this has to do with companies outsourcing jobs to other countries, and the implementation of AI. I spent the rest of my day searching for resources for the Housing spreadsheet.

What I did today

Today I started off with the job listings. Then I was working on the food bank listings. For the food bank list, I am working on Southern California counties. I am using some search tools to help me find some food bank locations and I was able to find a few locations that were still available. The search tools are very helpful, but the difficult part is to finding the mission statement of the site. I do have to search a little bit but I am usually able to find it. I will continue to search more locations for the food bank in the Southern California counties.
