What I Did Today

Today I began by researching and summarizing job listings to post to CTP’s skill center page. Later on Carrie found another job listing which she requested to be posted as well, and it was linked from the Department of Rehabilitation, so it’s nice to see openings in DOR offices as well. After finishing job postings, I spent time on practicing my typing speed, and managed to get my speed-up from yesterday with higher accuracy too. I’m still not quite back to where I was before the holidays, but I’m closer now. I looked into trying to find CTP Alumni profiles on LinkedIn for a little while, and then had a meeting with Carrie. During the meeting, I brought up recent stagnation with finding any new companies or B-Corps to add to the outreach catalog, so Carrie suggested a new work assignment for me and other associates to work on. I worked on the new assignment for the rest of the time, including setting up a new tab in the spreadsheet, and Carrie even added a document with instructions. I’m happy to have a new assignment to work on in the coming days.
