Gave me a good idea of what and…[Read more]

I would remind myself of the threat of a ‘keylogger’ and using my financial information on various internet retail websites. I’d also deeply consider the role of IT in the business process regardless if I am directly or indirectly involved in the immediate action tasks.

Simple:
– Me, “Hey, 5 year old, what do you know about the World?”

Requiring passcodes, passwords,passphrases, and answers to security questions, which should all be simple to remember for an individual. Yet a ‘skimming thief’ knows these are the…[Read more]

Data.gov needs a radical makeover. This should include a rebranding of the website to include an easier process to obtaining information, as well as including a tutorial section to support new users. Not only does the data.gov website need to…[Read more]

The internet provides a new form of retail services. This includes book distribution, book publishing, and book marketing. Due to this trend, if I had a choice between publishing through a paper source versus an internet source, I’d have to choose an internet source. This leads to greater exposure capabilities, availability to use advanced…[Read more]

–I believe you can use data from an applicant’s profile to predict performance if the jobs are similar. The data set must include: employee tenure at previous establishments, sales/revenue performance, project completion timelines, employee hours log sheet, positive vs. negative references, total amount of experience, a coding system for…[Read more]

At work, the primary KPI is an increase in student enrollment during the Summer Business School Camp. This is a Specific example to gauge value of the program, the more children who enrolled, the more money is made and greater the exposure.

The most recent example I can provide to joining information in two data sets is that I am scripting a cover letter to send to my campers from last year’s Summer program. I am typing a single one page template but then need to swap out the last line with a specific anecdote tailored towards the reader. So I need to compile all the students(over…[Read more]
