My First Impression of English 111

I am taking this class as it is a requirement to graduate for the Caterpillar Technician Degree. After two weeks in class, I find this course very challenging. It requires a lot of research to learn how to do things like creating headers and footers in Microsoft Word, which seems easy but is actually not. Learning how to create a functional blog on Blogger and creating an e-portfolio are also a challenge. This class is not what I expected. I initially thought it would mainly focus on writing. I have never really made blogs or websites about myself, and I don’t like writing about myself much. I feel like part of this course is about learning how to use different software and layouts. Additionally, the class involves creativity and graphic design, which I find difficult as well. Writing has never been enjoyable for me, so creating a blog feels very new and challenging. It’s interesting to see that many people enjoy blogging. I have never read blogs before, and the closest thing I have used to a blog is probably a car forum. Writing has always been tough for me, but I know I need to improve in this area for my future career.

Future Presentations

I am currently in an apprenticeship with Empire Caterpillar, training to become a technician. As an apprentice, I don't do any public speaking, but I know I need to get good at public speaking in the future if I want to move up in the company. At Empire CAT, they have daily meetings where the shop lead announces what everyone is going to do throughout the day and discusses any concerns for the day. Additionally, we have weekly safety meetings, where the lead also discusses the safety topics for the week. So, if I ever want to become a lead for a shop, I need to practice public speaking or presentations. I do have to take a communication or public speaking class as it is a part of my pathway to graduate with an associate's degree in Caterpillar Technician Training.

Job Sites and Me

I have used Indeed to apply for jobs in the past, and I found it to be an excellent site for job searching. Indeed makes it simple to view jobs that are currently hiring. You can easily set your job preferences, including the type of roles you're looking for and your desired pay. The information about each job is clear and easy to understand. One of the best features is the ability to message employers quickly. You can save your resume and create a profile, so you don't have to keep entering your information every time you apply. Indeed also allows you to read reviews of companies, which can help you decide where to apply. Additionally, they offer job recommendations that match your skills and preferences. Overall, job sites like Indeed make applying for multiple jobs much more straightforward. They provide a simple way for you to find the right employers and find the right fit for your next job or career.
