What I Did Today

Today I spent the first hour or so looking for job listings and posting them to CTP’s skill center page. I found two jobs which were in the IT field. Next I researched food pantries in California, including some in Plumas County. Eventually, I had a check-in with Carrie to discuss a new task, which was ERG outreach via email. We went over the template and protocol for contact, however the spreadsheet needed to be updated before I could use it properly. I pointed out some inconsistencies in the spreadsheet and asked some clarifying questions before I really got going. I tried to spend the rest of the time getting into a workflow with the new task, but many sites used different forms or fields that I needed to fill out, and those slowed me down every time I encountered something different. I was able to get a few done, but ran out of time before I got too far. I am hoping to be able to get faster at it in the coming days.

What I did today.

Today, I began with a 15-minute typing exercise on MonkeyType. I then watched a presentation about phone etiquette in the office titled “When the Phone Rings.” After that, I worked on the Power of Wellness phone scripts, going through scenarios 1 to 5. Finally, I recorded greetings for the various voicemail options.
