Today we went over some interview questions. It’s tough for me to come up with good answers for some questions, but this practice was helpful, and I think I did fine.

What I did today
Went over what I was most proud of achievement-wise, which was really fun. Went over a few mock interview questions in a breakout room. Finished my questions and answers in the job log. I believe I could have done a lot better in the mock interviews had I completed this part a month ago. Today was fun.
What I did today, 7/24
Started the day by clocking into HomeBase. Then we each took turns doing a small interview with Carrie, recording ourselves on video. Then we worked more on our job logs. Then we did more interview questions. Then we ended the day by doing our “What I did today” post, then our self-assessment review before clocking out of HomeBase for the day and week.
What I did today…
Class was very interesting and nerve-wracking as we had Carrie interview us in a breakout room and record our answers. We get to see the results next Friday. Then I worked on my cover letter. We finished with the interview questions, some very good answers. Thank you, Carrie. Can’t believe we graduate next week! We have all worked hard.
What Today Held 07.24.2026
I missed class yesterday not feeling well. Spoke about what they did while waiting for class to begin and it sounds so fun; maybe I can catch up and complete the tasks for yesterday. Today we went through interview questions and hearing my classmates answers are extremely helpful to help alter my answers. Again, the layout of class and gaining information/ timing is handled very well and building my timing back up. Also, aiding each other in our skills and really working as a true team is inspirational for work and really helping me define the type of working environment I prefer.

Video Interview – we got recorded answering some interview questions. I think the fact that we were being recorded made me more anxious than normal. I was grateful for the experience and to get out of my box. Then we worked on our employment accessories like a resume and Interview answers. I made my resume designed for different aspects of the job that I am looking for. So, they are tailored for each job. Then I emailed it to myself so that I have it available on my phone. Why, I didn’t think of that before; better late than never. Then we practiced interview questions, which I am grateful for, as it helps me to be secure in my answers.
What did I do today
Today, I did a practice video interview. Then I tried to work on my LinkedIn profile. Also, I am doing the practice interview with different participants. Now I am doing the “What did I do today?” post and doing the CTT assessment.
What I did this Week
Today’s assignment, the WordPress Bio was simple and straightforward, but it was new. I had to take an improvised picture for my bio, which was to be completed as if I were a Customer Service Representative at Power of Wellness. This was a valuable experience working on WordPress for something other than our normal blog posts.
In the middle of the day, Jose put me in a breakout room with other students who needed to install and setup the MicroSIP application for VOIP interface and simulated phone call activities. It went smoothly, however by the end of the day, I had so many Power of Wellness tabs open that my computer started running slowly.
When I came back to class after the MicroSIP install, I was able to complete the Square Store transaction with Michael over the Zoom call. I was still having computer issues with multitasking, so I may explore cleaning up my hard drive and/or giving my browsers some time to refresh and update without so many tabs open.
Those were the main activities today, and yesterday was the mock interview with Mechanics Bank (even though there was no corresponding blog post). I felt Mr. Richardson was extremely attentive, listening to my storytelling very carefully while giving me a generous amount of feedback. By the end of the interview, I was definitely worn out and tired of talking myself “up” but now that it’s over I felt it was good confidence building and practice.

What did I do today
Started the day by clocking in with Homebase. After that, we jumped right into tech articles, and I wrote an article about OpenAI shutting down Atlas, an AI browser, and heard from other participants about their articles. After the tech articles, I then worked on Part 3 of the lab, which was creating an image, and wrote the steps on how I did it on osTicket. I also explored how to use Clonezilla and how to create an image of the Windows 10 virtual machine. I had a great day today. Before the class ends, I will do a “What did I do today?” post, and then after the class, I will clock out of Homebase.
