Good Morning Everyone,

This summer, and beyond, I will be working at Infinity Digital Agency: a small digital marketing agency in Bucks County that mostly serves small-medium size business. My predominant role will be working beneath the Director of Marketing and making sure all of the SEO (search engine optimization) needs are met for our clients. While that will be my primary role, my supervisor has said that he’d like me to become familiar with all facets of the company so that I understand how my job affects everybody else’s, which I think is a great philosophy to have with interns or entry level employees. This includes PPC, social media, client interaction, market research, web design, proposal generation, and more. Also, the company is in the process of rebranding itself, and one of my extra-curricular activities will be to produce a video podcast. Since I have some minor experience in audio/video production in high school, I feel I can use those skills to really leave my mark on the company!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Arlo Antle and I have taken an Internship position at DecisivEdge, LLC. here in Newark, Delaware. DecisivEdge is a Technology Services/Consulting company who focuses on the financial industry. We work heavily with Oracle products as well as other financial services industry products. In my internship, there are three rotations throughout the summer, each lasting 4 weeks. Right now, I am in Quality Assurance, ensuring the quality delivery of our products and services to our clients. I have been working with the QA process on both agile and waterfall type projects, creating test scenarios based on provided business requirements. Moving forward, my next rotation will be in the Development & Delivery practice, who are very programming heavy as one may guess. From what I have gathered, the interns in this position often utilize the development languages they know and understand, therefore I will most likely be doing things I’ve learned at Temple such as HTML, SQL, and PHP. Lastly, I will finish in Business Optimization, which is essentially a Project Management/Business Analyst role. This practice helps in originating projects and following them through their cycles and keeping everything in check based on the business’s requirements. I am enjoying QA currently and look forward to my future rotations!

Johnson & Johnson recently consolidated its IT department; now its four sectors, which include consumer, pharma, and medical devices, all have the same IT department. Previously, each sector worked with its own IT department, but J&J is taking significant strides in creating a single department with cohesive business information across all four sectors, thus effectively working, saving time and money. As an intern, I will be working one on one with business partners to ensure that their information is correct and up to company standards to ensure information integrity and consistency.
