What I did today

Today we went over my tech article, which is on the fact that fridges at supermarkets in France got attacked by bad actors, which spoiled a lot of food. And how a blood bank had similar issues but were able to save their blood in time. Its scary as there’s another case of commissaries in a military base in Arizona having similar issues.

Then we went into the filter and lookup commands on google sheets. We originally were trying to come up with lessons to teach future Core students these commands but luckily Mike reminded Jose and I that not everyone has the same drive and knowledge-base as us. Which is an important thing to consider.

Lastly I worked on my portfolio.

What I did today

Today, my main responsibility as an administrative associate was to research and post new job and volunteer opportunities on our site. I started by exploring platforms like Monster, Idealist, VolunteerMatch, and SimplyHired, where I successfully identified and published three strong listings. Additionally, I wrote two sponsor emails, researched five replacement contacts for missing or bounced addresses provided by my supervisor, and attended a short meeting with my manager. The goal of my work was to maintain accurate resources and support our team’s ongoing external outreach efforts.
