Today, we learned how to research a company before an interview. We gained several resources for this research that I find very helpful. During the documents lab, I decided to use the CTP template. I’m copying and pasting from my old resume into the new template, updating things as I go along. We then did interview questions, which were challenging but very good practice.
What I did today
Today I learned about researching a company. I continued to work on the interview questions and practiced some interview questions with the group.
What I did Today:
I learned how to search a company’s specifications before my interview, like the ownership or the size.
I searched volunteer jobs on Idealist.
We all practiced general questions of a mock interview.
What I Did Today 3-13-2026
Today was employment services day, where I worked on my professional documents, participated in interview-related questions and answers, and also conducted a few job searches on Indeed.
What I Did Today
Today I continued working on job listings for the CTP website, researching opportunities that participants can apply for in different areas. I also started posting job fairs, resource fairs, and virtual hiring events to help connect participants with employers and new job opportunities. I always enjoy researching and finding helpful resources that can support CTP participants in their job search. Another productive day with CTP.
