Today, my primary responsibility as an administrative associate was to research and publish current job opportunities on our site. I gathered listings by exploring job boards such as Idealist, Dice, and Monster, and then posted the relevant positions for our users. Additionally, I updated an existing post by replacing general website URLs with a direct link to a specific job listing for better accuracy. Through these efforts, I helped streamline our platform’s resources to ensure job seekers can easily access direct application pages.

Today we went over our tech articles, and we independently met with Devin and Carrie to go over our monthly progress review. I think it went well. After that, we worked on more of the lab with the time we had left. Near the end of the class, I was working on the portfolio project with Jose to try to fine-tune some things that needed work.
What I Did Today
October 14, 2026: Today, I had a core check-in with the staff. They said my attendance and participation were green across the board! After that, I presented my weekly tech article about humanoid waterproof robots directing traffic at busy intersections within China. Last but not least, I polished up and put the finishing touches on my Core Training Portfolio presentation.
What I did today
Today we mainly worked further on the Computer Hardware lab. We also did our tech articles today as tomorrow is mock interviews. It was interesting learning about Chinese traffic robots, how the FBI was hacked by Shinyhunters, how AI is complicated the courts, and how AI is becoming better at ripping code from software to allow games and software to be created from it (like an AI open source version of Adobe CC and video games). Though they seem to be buggy its a crazy new step in our world.
We also had Core check in’s which went well.
What I did today
Today, my primary responsibility as an administrative associate was to research and post new job and volunteer opportunities for our community.

During the final hour of my shift, I reviewed the GivingTuesday website and blog to familiarize myself with their mission and initiatives. Through these efforts, I helped keep our resources updated while expanding my knowledge of community engagement strategies.
