What I Did Today

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.
