Helpful Writing Tools

Writing tools that I use regularly. First, I use Google to look up facts, research topics, and find definitions. It’s an excellent resource for getting quick information. Next, I turn to YouTube when I need video explanations about a subject. Watching someone explain a concept helps me understand it better. When it comes to citing sources or following MLA guidelines, I use Purdue OWL. It provides clear instructions on how to reference my work correctly. If my assignment requires scholarly sources, I use the MCC Online Database. The database is full of trusted information and can be used for academic writing. To write everything down, I often use Google Docs and Microsoft Word. These programs help draft my essays and papers. Additionally, I use Canva to design documents and create presentations that need a nice design or layout. Lastly, when I feel stuck or have trouble starting, I use the writing process to help break down my writing project. It helps guides me and encourages me to develop my ideas. Overall, these tools play a big role in my writing and help me finish tough assignments.

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.
