I had two great interviews; some of the positive feedback included: the interviewer appreciating the following: the depth of my experience; the way I communicate with professionalism and confidence; my leadership approach and genuine empathy, passion for community building, collaboration and developing trust. How people centric I am and that I have the ability to reflect on leadership styles and genuinely embrace professional growth; that I’m a very intentional leader, that I’ve gained a lot of wisdom for the roles I’ve held and institutions across nonprofit and for profit organizations and in a variety of industries: health care, banking and community building. Also a skill the interviewer commented on was that I communicate ideas, clearly, authentically and professionally.

The interviewers (Mely Navarro and Jacqueline Arreola- Muniz) and I really enjoyed the experience interviewing today. I really appreciated their kind and encouraging manner throughout the interview. Mely thought I would be a great fit for an position open they have in the new Oakland office! I learned a lot in the interview and appreciated that they asked new questions that challenged me. Some of the questions were the same as last week and I felt much more relaxed answering them. It’s been great to utilize the rubrics for interview preparation and have interview practice.

Today I enjoyed mock interviews with volunteers from Beneficial State Bank. I need to practice questions and answers with people who know what they would seek in a person they would interview or consider for employment. I’m getting better at not being so nervous.

I

Did 2 mock interviews with Rafa Rogel and Oliver from Beneficial State Bank. I really enjoyed my time with Rafa. Oliver shared how he started as a teller in a really busy downtown LA branch. I felt more comfortable doing the interviews. It helps a lot knowing your stories using the STAR method. Thank you!

Today was MOCK interview day. I was not motivated nor confident, but I nailed it today! I had two great interviews, and my feedback was very encouraging and motivated me to keep up my good work. I studied Beneficial State Bank, and that helped. I also studied the interview questions, and I was able to do my very best in the interviews.

Today was mock interview day. I like to think I did well, maybe even better than the last one, but who knows. We shall see later on what the feedback is.

I managed to partake in today’s mock interview despite health challenges. I am proud of myself. It was a great experience.

I learned how to create a promotional flyer – including how to add WordArt in gradient color and type styles. The assignment included the same basic information then classmates created our own flyers; some included more detailed sales info and unique images.

I typed today, and I am getting better. I had fun making a flyer for BerkMart’s grand opening. I learned to use “Word Art” on my Google Doc, and I’m getting better at inserting images.

I managed to do a simple flyer for the Grand Opening of the BerkMart store. I learned to add images to a document. Using the different Fonts was interesting in that I used 3 different sizes to the flyer.

Today, we worked on BerkMart flyers. I was having technical difficulties during the class. I would have loved this assignment otherwise. Everyone is so supportive and helpful. Mark is awesome with us!!!!
