Matthew Chinsky - Fox Student in BBA MIS Program

IT Intern | Millennium Systems International, Parsippany, NJ |

Involved with hands-on experience in learning about different careers, including Computer Science and how it interacts with the needs of the business. This internship allowed me to apply my MCST education in the real world.
I was engaged in a variety of IT related activities to streamline operations and increase efficiency and documentation of Millennium’s internal IT infrastructure.
Responsibilities changed after a few months to give me exposure to a variety of areas. I was engaged on mapping and documenting the wiring and infrastructure layout. This involved identifying all of the various ports including VOIP and Ethernet for all workstations, punch down panels and switches and updating spreadsheets with the information so that Millennium knows which are in use, which aren’t and which may be defective. Later in the year, I worked on locating bugs in Millennium’s newest software Meevo, an online scheduling system that customers can use right from an app on their phone.

During the summers of 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, I have been employed as a camp counselor at the Morristown-Beard School Day Camp. As a summer camp counselor, I take on many responsibilities in which I worked with children ages 7 through 9 and kept them actively engaged throughout the day through activities such as swimming, athletics, dance, science, art, etc. I ensured parents that their kids were having a fantastic time while maintaining rules to keep them safe. Presented a high level of energy and excitement with this job. Responsible for the safety and well being for each child under my watch. Thoroughly familiar with all emergency procedures.

I worked 5 hour shifts Monday, Tuesday, and Friday nights bussing tables, seating guests, delivering bread and water, and various other tasks. My schedule here also varies.
I made myself available to cover for other coworkers who need to take off, and I am always on my feet, serving customers and removing finished entrees throughout the night.

At Mara’s Cafe, an always busy destination in a large town, my responsibilities were diverse. Behind the counter I catered to customers with fresh, handmade drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos and teas, customized to our customer’s preference. Multi-tasking was a must as there can be many customers with unique drink requests and am often handling the point of sale system along with the usual complexities of cash, credit cards, gift cards, discounts, promotions etc. All this is done with a pleasant customer centered attitude because it’s known that it’s much easier to continue a relationship with an existing customer than to have to find a new one.

I refereed indoor soccer for boys and girls between ages between 6-9 years old. My passion for playing soccer intersects with my passion for this job and why I chose it. I enjoy being able to teach others what I have learned and to see how they can grow in their abilities.
I ensured parents that their kids were having a fantastic time while maintaining rules to keep them safe.
I presented a high level of energy and excitement with this job.

I worked 9-hour shifts for Ah Pizz every Sunday, and sometimes during the week when my boss needed me. I helped keep the restaurant clean, organized, and fresh. In addition, I also brought out food and drinks to customers.
When needed last minute to cover for absent employees or unexpected busy days, I always made myself available to work as long as it didn’t interfere with my school responsibilities.
