This internship at Pfizer has been great! I’ve enjoyed my time immensely. My sponsor asked me to stay on part-time, and I happily accepted. I will be working 10 hours a week remotely thru May 2018. Besides that, I have applied to the BT Rotational Program, a full-time position for recent college graduates at Pfizer. Myself and other interns are…[Read more]

Email etiquette has been a huge thing to learn during my internship. Some components were more simple like establishing a format, or knowing who the correct person is to send the email to. However, other components were more complicated. Things like practicing brevity so people actually read your message, or knowing when and when not to CC a…[Read more]

Hi Sarikka– Everything you listed has been pretty helpful to me too! Did it take long for the other interns to pick up on pivot tables after you showed them what to do? I remember particularly struggling with pivot tables myself! I took the Excel course my freshman year at Temple, and not a lot of the information I learned has stuck.

One thing I’ve learned in the classroom that has come in handy is everything about requirements. A big project I’m working on this summer revolves around understanding CRS– Common Requirements Set– and how that comes into play with our work. All the tactics we were asked to do in MIS 3506 like reading requirements, studying the components of…[Read more]

Hi Adam! The app is simply: “myHomework”. It’s not overly fancy, but it can act as a color coded to-do list for all of my assignments and that’s really all I need. It’s a huge help to me! Sorry for the late reply on this.

To balance school work and my internship, it’s most important for me to keep a to-do list and to have reminders set on my phone and laptop. I have a to-do list for both this class and for my internship, and they both really help in keeping my mind focused on the tasks that need to be completed. For class, I have a homework app on my cell phone…[Read more]

Hi Claudine! One of the most important project skills I’ve learned is to determine a realistic timeframe in which our team can complete expected work. Microsoft Project helps a lot with this, but it’s important to know what each team member has on his or her plate so that you know whether an action item will take two days, or perhaps a whole week.…[Read more]

Hi Josh, I’m both surprised by and interested in JP Morgan’s tough stance on cyber security (as all companies should be). Are you working on a security team? And are you looking forward to the challenge of rooting out and handling an intentional phishing email?

Luckily by now, I’ve experienced what Pfizer is like through my last internship, so I understand most of the going-ons around the campus. However, I can remember back to last year when I was completely new. I remember looking for conference rooms and having to read the maps that are put up around the building, but would still need to stand there…[Read more]

This summer I am working again at Pfizer, a pharmaceutical company, and have been working here for a year now. Throughout my time here, I have been apart of the BT (Business Technology) sector, specifically on the ACT (Advancing Content & Transactions) team. My main role involves learning and practicing Project Management skills, and with a lot of…[Read more]

I feel that the most important take away from this class was actually learning to work with data! In MIS 2101, when the Data Analytics Challenge became a requirement, I felt entirely overwhelmed by it because I did not know there were accessible tools that could help me interpret the data. Now that I’ve been introduced to tools like MySQL and…[Read more]

1. As a general example, I can imagine a company using a decision tree to answer the question of, “Should we buy or build our technology?” They’d need to collect data such as: unique or common situation, ability to build vs. not able to, cost to maintain vs. cost to buy, etc. This is one small way to demonstrate the many uses of a decision tree.
