What I Did Today

Today, I began by researching and posting 3 job listings that are suitable for graduates to CTP’s skill center page. I felt a little tired this morning, so I had some trouble building momentum, and it took longer than usual. Next, I worked on improving my typing skills. I did several typing tests and managed to achieve an average typing speed of 50 wpm for the day. My average accuracy was also 96.4%, which I was pretty happy with, although I would like to try to get it higher. I then spent some time looking at B-Corps that are viable for outreach for potential partnering with CTP. I used the email template to reach out to several of the ones on the list, as I realized many had not been reached out to yet. I also spent some time trying to find LinkedIn profiles of past CTP graduates on the Alumni list, but I didn’t have any luck. Overall, I’m happy with what I was able to get done today, despite feeling pretty fatigued.
