What I Did Today

Today I started by searching for jobs to share on the CTP Website. It can be frustrating at times to find appropriate jobs with many listings having misleading information or overly ambitious minimum requirements, but I was able to find a few good entry level positions in IT and office administration.

For the remainder of my day I worked on the new Emergency Food/Grocery information project. This will be a new resource to share with CTP participants in the event that they need help finding food assistance in their area. When I started to feel burnt out on searching I switched things up by checking my email for any job application updates, and a quick look at LinkedIn and Indeed for new job postings relevant to myself.

What I Do Today?

Learned about remote connectivity and corporations limiting access on a worldwide basis. Frangibility on the genealogy of origins in the programming coding sector where spyware can be introduced into A system.

What I Did Today

Today I started out with some job postings for the students. Getting harder to spot scams these days, I had one all written up before I googled the company and found out they don’t actually exist! After that, I familiarized myself with the Second Chance project and did some preliminary research on food resources in my area. I also briefly helped Carrie when another intern was having audio issues. A productive day!

What I Did Today

Today I got see the returning students’ tech article presentations and talk about them in a group discussion. The experience was very helpful in keeping up with news in the tech industry I might not have known, and new tools that may have become available including new features in Microsoft Copilot. Then we continued the orientation items we still needed to catch up on as new students, primarily logging into a remote VM host on a WireGuard network. This helped me understand how these network systems communicate and I’m always interested to learn more.

What I Did Today

Today we had Thursday article presentations. I really enjoyed the presentations. I did mine on an article regarding current iPhone cybersecurity issues and using LockDown mode to filter incoming messages….

We worked on the BerkMart Investors Conference project and I got through the end of it, generating labels with Avery Label Merge.
