CTP Skill Center

Today I looked up places to volunteer, updated my resume, and practiced answering interview questions.

Today was a productive day focused on my professional development. I dedicated a significant amount of time to refining my resume, ensuring it effectively highlights my skills and experiences. In addition to this, I practiced answering common resume-related questions, which helped me feel more prepared for upcoming opportunities.

I also took the initiative to explore new volunteering opportunities. I’m excited about the prospect of getting involved in the community and making a positive impact through service. Overall, it was a fulfilling day that reinforced my commitment to personal and professional growth.

I searched through volunteer opportunities, worked on my resume, and practiced answering interview questions.

Today was employment services. We did a benefits of volunteering exercise. We shared the links that we chose. We worked on our resumes. We worked on our mock interview questions. Also, I did my CTT self assessment.

Halloween!! Yay!! Today in class people presented their technology articles. It was a fruitful discussion, a lot of interaction and involvement. Mostly about generative ai. Then moved into finishing the virtual machines projects.

I had some trouble finding stuff for EFG, but I got a couple. I had a good time it’s Halloween so yay

Continued to work on the BerkMart project that requires you to consider what you are trying to create with a personal style yet, professional. I love the challenge it put forth and I wouldn’t have it any other way!!! And I love the “UNDO” button, talk about saving your bacon! ^-^

Started with a presentation on a tech article in CTT. The article explained what generative AI is and its uses. I then concluded the day by working on the Google Sheets event project and finished with the Google Slides presentation for the BerkMart Conference project.

As I look back on this week, I’m filled with a sense of accomplishment and excitement about the skills I’ve developed. Each day brought new challenges and opportunities to learn, and I’m eager to share the highlights.

The week kicked off with a deep dive into Homebase, our time-tracking and scheduling software. Navigating the clock-in process was both a practical necessity and a learning experience, allowing me to grasp the importance of accurately logging my hours. This foundational skill will surely enhance my workflow and time management moving forward.

Another significant milestone was my exploration of our WordPress website. I delved into content management, learning how to update and navigate the dashboard effectively. This hands-on experience not only broadened my technical capabilities but also positioned me to make meaningful contributions to our online presence. I feel more equipped to streamline our workflow and enhance our digital communications.

I also ventured into the technical realm by learning how to remotely connect to the CTP desktop. This newfound ability to access important resources from anywhere is a game changer for my efficiency. Coupled with my exploration of the OS Ticketing system, where I gained practical experience in managing support tickets, I now feel better prepared to ensure timely communication and resolutions for our team.

In another exciting development, I immersed myself in computer hardware concepts. I focused on understanding the differences between RAM, HDDs, and SSDs, and even learned how to replace an HDD with an SSD. This process not only highlighted the significant performance improvements possible through hardware upgrades but also reinforced the importance of making informed decisions about technology in our work.

Today, I took a significant leap in my technical skills by learning how to set up a virtual machine using Debian Linux OS. This hands-on experience provided me with insights into virtualization technology and its practical applications. Creating a virtual environment not only enhances my ability to test software and configurations safely but also deepens my understanding of system resource management. This new skill will undoubtedly prove invaluable in various projects moving forward.

In the spirit of Halloween, I dressed up as Ellen Ripley from Aliens. This fun twist added an element of creativity to my day, reminding me that even in a professional setting, there’s room for personality and celebration.

Overall, this week has been a blend of technical learning and personal growth. I’m eager to apply these skills in my role and continue my journey of development. Each experience has been a step forward, and I’m excited to see where this path leads next. Happy Halloween to all—may your day be filled with fun and inspiration!
