What I Did Today

Today I began by researching and summarizing 3 job listings to post to CTP’s skill center page. I was happy to find that I had access to my LinkedIn account again, so I was able to use LinkedIn for job search, which allowed for a more fine-tuned selection. Next I worked on improving my typing speed, and actually demonstrated substantial progress as my average WPM went up from 50 wpm yesterday to 52 wpm today, with a similar accuracy score. I hope to be able to keep that up, even if I can just match that potential in the coming days. I then worked on CTP Alumni research, and managed to find two LinkedIn profiles of prior CTP graduates from the early 90s. I then spent awhile working on CRA research, which took me to the end of the list on the audit page. I may look at them again, however, because I wasn’t able to find contact info for very many of them, and had to leave it blank. If I spent more time on it, maybe I could find more. Finally, I finished by looking into B-Corps in areas related to CTP’s mission, and managed to find one or two.
