Today, my main responsibility as an administrative associate was to research and publish new job opportunities on our site. I started by exploring websites like Idealist, Monster, and SimplyHired, where I successfully identified and posted two strong job listings. Additionally, I drafted a professional email for a sponsor based on guidance provided by my supervisor. The goal of my efforts was to maintain accurate resources and support our team’s external communications.

What I Did Today
October 19, 2026: Today was a bit challenging at first, after I almost thought I got roasted for a weekly tech article I selected. Perhaps I wasn’t prepared for a lot of questions about how a car prototype that can go airborne could possibly be used by common people, but I’m pretty sure the “airborne” part was intended for stunt pilots only. After that, I started working on the Pre-Lab about drive imaging and learned some new terms along the way, such as an Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE).
What I did Today
Today we started a new lab on Disk Imaging, which seems interesting. And an important topic because its a part of backing up and transferring computers. It was a bit weird not having Jose today. But luckily I didn’t get stuck until the end of the day.
However, I still do feel like the directions for this lab do need to be updated heavily.

10 19 2026
Today we worked on the pre-lab for disk imaging. Doing the pre-lab assignment gave me a lot of term definitions and allowed me to put the concepts into my own words. I think tomorrow we will continue doing lab work on disk imaging. Also, I have to remind myself to give myself time to study outside of class and work on the portfolio presentation a bit before the end of the week.
What Today Held
I had a good day searching for jobs to post. I found a few different jobs that were a bit above and beyond expectations, so I skipped over them. Almost felt too excessive in qualifications and time. Did a bit of research into Giving Tuesday and will continue my research for my own clarification and efforts. Have a beautiful day, everyone, and I will be at SJS in a moment!

Today, my primary responsibility as an administrative associate was to research and publish current job opportunities on our site. I started by exploring platforms such as Idealist, Monster, and SimplyHired to find relevant career options for our community. After successfully identifying two strong job listings, I formatted and posted them for our users to access. Through these efforts, I helped keep our board updated with fresh opportunities to support job seekers in their search.
