To touch up with what another student said, I believe that email is something important I learned at my internship. We all know how to write a simple email, but to make it professional and proper setup is a different story. I never used to break down my email into paragraphs or add professional details at the bottom. I also learned that deleting a…[Read more]

One thing I leveraged in my internship was my Microsoft Excel class I took at Temple. For my intern, excel was essential and knowing tips that I picked up from the class helped a great deal. For example, one excel sheet I worked with contained hundreds of rows and a many columns. Knowing how to select all these rows to make one big edit was time…[Read more]

Alex Cicioni commented on the post, Discussion Question #4: How do you do it all???, on the site 7 years, 1 month ago
I never found the perfect balance between work and my internship because it all depended on my work load for the specific week and if tests or exams were present. When I thought I mastered time management I always found myself making some sort of adjustments to either how I handle school or the internship. My best advice is to plan ahead and keep…[Read more]

Alex Cicioni commented on the post, Discussion Question #3: What is the most important…………?, on the site 7 years, 2 months ago
The most important skill that I became proficient with is time management. I knew this was important, but never really knew how to implement it when having an internship. With each passing week and project handed to me, I learned to manage school work around my internship and vice versa. Along with this, I also found time to maintain a social life…[Read more]

Being an intern at UpdatesCentral went very well for me because of how relaxed and friendly my co-workers were. They gave me a complete tour of the building as well as access to the rooftop. However, dress code was something I had to adjust to because it was business casual or anything that was comfortable to work in. I had to find a balance…[Read more]

I learned how to become proficient in creating infographics. I also learned how to use Tableau, and be efficient with exporting new data types out of the program. I never realized how relevant data is in every day activities.

In this article, the new Bugatti is more than just a car, but a piece of technology from the future. To design a car with a whopping 1500 horsepower and to achieve a speed of over 260mph takes more than just a couple tools. For example, I watch a video of engineers design the…[Read more]

One KPI I use daily is the Stocks app on my phone to know stock price changes and what to invest in.
Specific and Measurable- The prices are always kept up to date and accurate.
Achievable- I can set a goal of what I want to earn.
Relevant- The money I invest is always changing.
Time- I can look at past history to know the previous performance. -

I make the mistake of not backing my excel data up before editing it. As I never had any really big issues, it still is a concern that I don’t do it. The main reason I’m getting lucky Is because of the Excel “reverse” function that allows me to fix a quick mistake. However, in the future if I am doing a big project in Excel, I think the backup…[Read more]

http://mashable.com/2017/02/23/elon-musk-tesla-lifetime-insurance/#JmslVnabYkqQ In this article, Tesla is beginning to be so sure of its self-driving car that the company is going to offer lifetime insurance and a maintenance program. This means that those monthly bills are gone and a peace of mind could start to set in. I find this most…[Read more]

One of the most important principles in my opinion is “Simplify.” I believe it is most important to make a visual user friendly to the point where a child can understand the concept of your graph. As the article states, there is no reason to have too many options. If it takes all these options to try to simply, the visual can be classified as…[Read more]

I heard Maurice speak at an AIS meeting last semester and I was blown away when I found out the backend of QVC. My biggest takeaway was how the IT department communicates to the host of the show to say key words that spike sales. It was also interesting how Maurice showed such a passion for his work and love for QVC.

Conventional wisdom statement: A college MBA is the new Bachelor degree. The extra education would be nice, but I don’t believe this is required. If anything really matters in todays world, it’s the experience you get in the field. I know many people who have got their Bachelors from the Fox school, and still nailed a well paying job. Their job…[Read more]
