CTP Skill Center

So in today’s class, I worked on my LinkedIn. Practicing different Interview Questions. Then I did the Weekly Self Assessment. At the end of the day, I did the “What did I do today” post.

Today we have Employment Services session with Carrie. She is a great teacher. We worked on LinkedIn today, the first half of class. I totally forgot to update my profile. Carrie shared a website called Upslash. This website has images that you can upload for your background. I found a really nice one that fits my personality. We also worked on interview questions for the last hour of class. I’m getting better at it. I’ll be ready for next week!

I learned many helpful tips to improve my LinkedIn presence, particularly to tailor certain sections to the job I want and also to request recommendations.

I appreciated the chance to work on interview questions re: explaining my resume gap and what is my preferred work environment.

I started by logging into Zoom and was going to log into HomeBase, but forgot to do so. Then we talked about how mock interviews went. then watched a video about making a LinkedIn page. Then we got to work on our LinkedIn page. Then we worked more on our interview questions. Then ended the day with doing the “what I did today” post and self-assessment page.

I opened a LinkedIn account. Gotta work on it. Carrie shared with us tips to improve it. We worked on interview questions, what type of work environment works best for us? What is my professional accomplishment I am most proud of? I enjoyed everyone’s answers.

We worked on our LinkedIn page. We started out watching a video that showed us the strong places to highlight on your LinkedIn page. I liked that because my page still showed me at my old job, which I am no longer at.

We then did some interview questions, which I liked because I got to hear the others’ answers. It helps me to think of what I am saying.

We viewed a classmates great Google Slides presentation on Otters that incorporated many elements we had learned over the past few weeks. We worked on a wage table practice project in Google Sheets using formulas for percent increase and converting hourly to monthly wage amounts.

I started by clocking in with Homebase. Then we went over the tech article, and I picked the article about the Meta AI Support Chatbot, allowing the hackers to take over the Instagram account, which is scary. Then I took a break. Then I started the Project Inception, and I had a review of using the ticketing system. At the end of the day, I clocked out of Homebase.

Today I began my fifth day as an administrative associate, with my daily task for the day to research and post job listings onto the CTP skill center website, and my main task for the day to research affordable housing for potential CTP graduates and note down worthwhile locations in the provided tracking log. Spent the majority of time narrowing the search by the provided parameters, disability accessible housing for applicants under 55+ and under the $1.8k budget, while logging a handful of potential locations.

Today was a great challenge! UCSF Clinical Nurse Wage Table Project was so much fun. When you look at what the instructions give you, it can make you overwhelmed, but I accepted the challenge without getting frustrated. I have officially accepted spreadsheets. Thanks to Marc and Mike for being great teachers.
