I enjoyed SHPT today as the last time I took it it wasn’t as informational and direct. The last time also did not focus much in LGBTQ+ or under 18 employees- mainly in the systemic understanding of gender and sexuality. It was so wonderful to see our world actually being creative and changing from control and locking us all into categories. I hope this isn’t too much. I also really enjoyed interviewing with everyone, especially the confidence boosters. As always our graduates will be missed in class but happy to see y’all in the 10 min pre class interactions!
TIL
Today I completed a sexual harassment training. The re-enactments were cringe, but that’s to be expected. It’s really important to do these things in workplaces. I also did the usual interview practice, which was pretty good. I need to remember to believe in what I’m saying and speak more confidently about myself.
August 28, 2026
We started the day by watching a presentation on sexual harassment. One that the State of California provided. I have seen it before, but it is always a good reminder. Afterward, we worked on our resume and got some individualized help. I appreciated that, because I was just thinking, what could I do to make my resume better? We then had practice interview questions. We had extra time and got asked what we would teach in a on hte fly ted talk show. It was quite interesting to hear the answers from the others. I got to see an inside of them you normally do not see.
What I did today
8 28 2026
Today we worked on sexual harassment training, and after completing the program, we each got a certificate. Also, we did some more group questions from the interview q and a worksheet, and it was good; the last one on the TED Talks got each of us more confident in answering questions.
What I Did Today
We covered What I Did This Week on Wednesday. And, yesterday was Core Celebration, so I will just be covering today:
We did California’s mandatory Sexual Harassment training which took almost two hours. The material wasn’t too difficult, the answer to all the questions were all True, and Ross from Friends was in the first video scenario.
Then, we worked for a short time on upgrading my bullet points on my Resume draft with Claude AI. It looks a lot better with the bullet points and they are fully fleshed out points which makes my document look more polished.
Finally, we did group Q&A practice covering the questions, “About You” , “What can you do for companies that other candidates can’t” , and “Why did you change career paths”… It was getting a bit easier to revise my answers knowing there’s no real pressure but to be myself and say something resembling the STAR method to show that I’m prepared and excited to interview.

What I did Today
Today I did the sexual harrassment training. It was a pretty heavy topic. So I’m glad that at the end we did the interview questions and I’m glad I got to listen to everyone’s passions.
What I Did Today
August 28, 2026: Today, I completed a Sexual Harassment Prevention Training course and answered a couple of common interview questions, including one most interviewers usually wouldn’t ask. That last question had some amazing answers from my classmates and me!
What did I do today
Today is my final day of Employment Services. It was fun time to meet with others. We went over the Sexual Harassment training. I did the Sexual Harassment training for the first 1 hour. Then we did an interview practice with questions about “Tell me about yourself”. I would say today was quick and easy.
What did I do today
Started the day by clocking in with Homebase. I did some typing for the first 15 minutes. Also, we talked a little bit about the Rose, Bud, Thorn, which is the end-of-the-month reflection that I already completed. We talked about the Independent Challenge that I did on Monday and saw the final result. Tomorrow is the final day for CTT, and I am excited that the 3-month course is finally over. I would say this week was okay because VOIP.ms was not working for me, so I didn’t get to do the BerkMart Phone Scripts practice, which is a bummer.
What the Week Held
A wonderful week!
Specifically, today felt soothing learning the shortcuts to use filling out spreadsheets. Ohhh myyy goodness Jose! Thank you so much, you do not even know. I tend to spend a lot of time working on different projects and feel behind many times, but today’s sheets visit made me want to make hundreds of brand-new sheets filled with formulas (I held myself back). I do need to work on speeding up my timing for projects and other items. Not worrying too much on “perfection” and willing to receive feedback in areas I over worry about. Also, hoping I don’t move too slowly handling Rose, Bud and Thorn.
