What I Did Today

Today I began by finding and summarizing job listings to post to CTP’s skill center page for program graduates. I tried to make sure the listings I found were sufficiently entry level and appropriate for graduates to apply to, given the training and experience expected. I then moved on to seeking out LinkedIn profiles of CTP alumni that have graduated since its inception, but I didn’t find any new ones. Next I moved on to looking into companies that have committed to their DEI initiatives for potential partnership, and listing contact info. Afterward, I continued with research into rehabilitation centers that could potentially partner with CTP for vocational services following or supplementing treatment. I then had a check-in with Carrie over the phone, where I had the chance to explain a new workflow idea and tweak to the rehabilitation center research task to make the research more efficient. I then had the opportunity to spend the rest of the time updating the list and the instructions for the assignment. I am happy to have had this opportunity and been able to receive permission and trust from my supervisor to do so.

What I did today

Exciting day. I did an hour of onboarding to AWEX which was a lot to take in. My main responsibility as an administrative associate was finding and posting job opportunities. I actually really enjoyed it because my own personal job search, the parameters are narrow and I see so many amazing exciting jobs that wont work for me, so I love being able to share them with fellow job searchers. I also spent some time setting up job alert emails from a few platforms (Indeed, LinkedIn, etc) so I get great new listings emailed to me. The job listings can be found here.
