What I Did Today

Today I spent the first hour posting job listings to CTP’s skill center, and I focused primarily on remote jobs. Many jobs claim to be remote but actually require travel on further inspection, so I have to look more carefully to find ones that are fully remote. I then had a check-in with Carrie, and she assigned me a new long-term project to do ERG research and find company contact info. I struggled to get started with it at first, partially because many companies don’t make it easy to find a general business contact, and partially because I had to ask a lot of clarifying questions about the project. Overall I am starting to get the hang of it. Other associates and staff were both very helpful and patient with me today.
