What I Did Today 2-24-2026
I missed the opening typing exercise because I arrived 15 minutes late; I provided advanced notice on an attendance form. I spent the rest of the day working with my peers on the BerkMart phone scripts. I clearly need more practice on this type of training.
What I did today:
I practiced typing for around 15 minutes on Monkey Type and took a screenshot. I share it on my ZoomChat.
Working with Microsip was a new subject.
We made groups of two and three and practiced.
What I did today
Today we practiced answering calls, placing calls on hold, and transferring phone calls in a professional setting. Additionally, I practiced touch typing
What I did today
I started with 15 minutes of typing practice, and then added job listings to the CTP website for the rest of the first hour. In hours two and three I searched for externships for CTT graduates.
What I Did Today
Today we worked on basic phone skills and practiced calls with eachother. I did very well on scenarios 1-3, but I totally messed up 4 and 5. It was good learning experience because I learned to keep both phone windows open, not just one.
What I Did Today
Today, I completed touch typing tests and took the Independent Challenge, scoring a 19 — my highest score yet! I also achieved my fastest typing speed of 60 words per minute. Overall, today has been an amazing day! :))
