Watching and discussing this Employment Services Presentation on networking.
Ensuring these 5 documents are linked and engaging in the Interview Practice & Interactive Labs.
Today, we talked about a presentation on networking. Carrie had to go into breakout rooms to connect with others. We had two rounds of connecting with with other, and both groups had great discussions on food topics where we all live, and what are our interest in careers. That was fun. Next, we got into working on our resumes, cover letters, interview questions, and LinkedIn profiles. I chose to work on an application that I had an interest in. Lastly, our last hour was to go into our interview questions. I believe that I was able to be confident in answering the questions.
Today felt wonderful and refreshing. I very much enjoy Carrie’s meeting and presentation style. I never once felt lost or confused (I may not have known how to answer the question however she gave me time and respect. I felt like my time and my understanding was important and was given the layout of class and our timing/ plans. I felt like I learned a lot of patience and comfort with class today. Thank y’all so much for your time! Also!!! another great day with my classmates!

Carrie talked about networking, and we had an exercise to get to know each other better by asking questions such as hobbies, where we have lived, military service, veteran status, employment goals, and the type of work we are looking for. Then we did lab, worked on my interview questions, and we finished by doing the job interviews. Found out we will be doing mock interviews with Mechanic Bank.
Started the day by clocking in on HomeBase. We talked about networking and what to say and what not to say. Then we were put into groups to talk and network with each other. Then we worked on our job logs, and I worked on my interview questions. Then we talked about our interview answers as a group. Then we did self-assessments and did the “What I did today” post. then clocked out of HomeBase for the day.
We talked about networking and its importance. There are so many ways to network that it can be overwhelming, but it is helpful. I like going into the separate groups and networking with fellow classmates. Then I worked on my Interview questions and got some assistance with my answer on what motivates me. That was my difficult question; I have been wrapping my head around it for a few. We did interview questions. The first question was What are my strengths, I think i need to work on that question because my answer seemed simple compared to others.
I added a link to the job log. We went over that there is a mock interview with Mechanics Bank on Wednesday. Also, I interacted with different members of the group. I also had an interview practice session with the instructor and the rest of the group.
