Today, my primary responsibility as an administrative associate was to research and publish current job opportunities on our site. I reviewed potential positions using platforms like Idealist and SimplyHired, successfully finding and posting three new listings for our users. Additionally, I updated yesterday’s job posting by adding its direct URL to ensure job seekers have immediate access to the original application page. Through these efforts, I helped streamline our platform’s resources to keep our listings accurate.

What I did today post
10 14 2026
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.
