CTP Skill Center

Today started with 15 minutes of Monkeytype practice, followed by a review of keyboard shortcuts. We then had a Google Slides presentation and spent the rest of the day working on our POW slide presentation. It was a very productive day focusing on the slides presentation.

I enjoyed seeing Mike come back. I made a slideshow today and feel like I did significantly better this time. The group was tranquil today. Time went by quickly again.

Today I typed 69 WPM with a 99% accuracy. I also got to work on POW slides.

It is the beginning of the month, class started out being my least favorite Google app. That would be using Google Slides, but with Marc’s help, I am getting better at putting them together. It is all about practice, Practice, PRACTICE. Thank you for the help.

I got familiar with homebase by clocking in and viewing the website. Posted my first “What I did today” post on the WordPress website. I see the CTT program is a little more extended and gets into some detail. I am excited to see just how far CTT can take me towards my career goals. I hope that I can get the hang of everything there is to come.

Today we went through the Core Orientation and learned how to set up a dedicated class profile in the Chrome browser. We installed some useful extensions, and edited our shortcuts to the basic pages for class, saving space on the shortcut bar. We registered for Grammarly, WordPress, and LastPass. We looked at the Skillsoft requirements for the course.

Today in the first hour I worked on finding suitable job listings and posting them to CTP’s skill center page. I was happy to see Mike Curran return from his absence and said hello as the meeting started. The job postings I found included only one fully remote job, both others included required training for certain specific company tools. Eventually, Carrie posted an employer spotlight event flier and requested it to be posted to the Job Fair section of CTP’s skill center, so I had the opportunity to do that. I had to extract information from the PDF, so I tried to summarize it inline and include links and formatting for emphasizing important information about how to attend. Next, I continued on with ERG research, and even got to the bottom of the list of companies that were already added. However, there were still entries that had been missed, so I spent the rest of the time going back through those. If I’m not assigned any new tasks tomorrow, I will be able to research more companies. Otherwise, I will either do outreach or any other assigned task.

Today was rather easygoing, another trio of job listings and more time spent researching for Social Media.
