CTP Skill Center

Today I worked on my typing skills for a few minutes. I watched a video presentation on toast masters. I might check that program out. I worked a little on my resume making necessary changes. In conclusion, we all did some interview questions. These questions were definitely challenging because the questions made us really think. I had to write down what other people were saying because I couldn’t think of anything to say. Then again, I would say todays session was very helpful because it brought to mind questions I didn’t think about. I’m hoping these are those interview ”curveballs” I can prepare for. Either way, todays session made me think.

Today after typing we were sent into break rooms where we individually saw the one-on-one videos that were recorded from last week. It gives me some insight into how I look when I am looking for specific questions and how I sound when I say um. I will continue to study the questions and so It will feel more natural. We then worked on our resumes and then went over the interview questions.

I worked on my resume. Had trouble with losing my format on the document. I do not know what I do. This happens repeatedly. My paragraph will not indent properly or a final bullet point shifts the above paragraphs around. I need to know what I am doing wrong. Carrie introduced me to the advantages of Chat AI. That is going to be very helpful in finishing my resume. answered three interview questions such as, “What can you do for the company that no one else can do?”, “What is a good leader and what is a bad leader? The only difficult question was “What would you do if you knew more than your supervisor?”

I worked on my resume, cover letter, and job log. I made hyperlinks. I feel like I had a great

week.

Today, I reviewed my video-recorded interview and realized that additional practice is crucial for objectively assessing my performance. This helps me identify areas for improvement, highlight my strengths, and gain a clearer perspective on how I present myself to interviewers. I am also concentrating on refining my resume to enhance my job search efforts.

Today I got to work on my resume. I learned that chatgbt can help with wording correctly. I got to practice on new interview questions and answers.

I took the typing test. What was frustrating is I wanted to do really well on the test so I practiced on classic tale #28. Two times in practice I did the exercise and my first result was 36 W.P.M.. I did the exercise a second time and the result was 42 W.P.M.. I started fine at the beginning of the test but then by the third sentence my fingers started to tremble and I began to accidentally press keys. The result was terrible. I typed 27 W.P.M. with seven mistakes. Marc permitted me to test again. But now I felt nervous about even doing worst on my second try. My fingers trembled a little but not near as much as the first time. The result was a satisfying 36 W.P.M. with one mistake. Before class I submitted my Accountability assignment. We then attended the graduation of the third year students. I completed my Customer Service Responses assignment by the end of today’s class. .

Today, after being onboarded for my third AWEX period, I posted some job listings for the students. After, I added some tracks to the CTP celebration playlist, and then familiarized myself with the Social Media project and made my first three contributions. I hope they were good!

Today marks my Graduation, and it feels like it arrived in no time. I’m eager to put the skills I’ve gained from the training to work and dive into job search activities in the IT help desk sector. With my new skills, fresh perspectives, and increased confidence, I’m ready to advance both personally and professionally.
