Friday, June 21st

Hello. Today I was in Employment Services. We went over a list of employment sites. I learned about places to look for work that I didn’t know of. That will be very helpful. I worked on completing my resume. I am not done yet, but getting there. And we discussed examples of work conflicts that we could share in an interview.

What I Did Today

Today we looked at alternative job search sites other than Indeed, and several of them were more specialized for spefici types of jobs or specific formats, which I really appreciated. I am interested in a couple of the paid services for which I can probably get help through my DOR counselor. I also learned to search on some other sites as well, and the differences in the search fields as well as the settings and layout. Then I spent some time tying up loose ends with my resume, and working on my LinkedIn profile some more. Finally we did interview practice, specifically about conflicts we’ve had at work. I think I find that very helpful because it forces me to think of specific examples of conflicts which is hard for me, but interviewers really appreciate. I hope to be able to write down more examples as I practice more.

What I Did Today

Today I worked on my Resume. I was able to add some stuff and now I’m ready for the critique phase to make it better. I also talked about my past conflict experiences in interview practice. I feel like everything that happened today was productive.

What I did today?

Today I got started early in class. I tried to do what was expected of me. I log in and while waiting to be invited to the meeting. I started doing my 3 minutes of typing while waiting and realized that I was not being asked to join the meeting because I had computer issues, that still needed addressing, I logged out and logged back in and after I got into the class I was very disappointed in the issue and could not understand why this happened. So I missed the start of the class discussion. I wanted to give up but instead, I pressed on. Despite my mood and sadness, I actively participated in all class discussions. I liked the employee presentation. I worked on my job log. We worked on resumes and Interview questions and answers.

What I did today

Today I learned about a few more job search sites that could help me find more positions to apply to. For the second hour of class, I worked on my professional documents and made some headway on my cover letter. In the third and final hour of class, we went over practice interview questions and received feedback on our answers to the questions.
