Communication is definitely a skill and a very important one at that. I think you will see a lot of your classmates talking about it as well. As long as you can communicate well you will always be able to get the job done.

I am working for the Imaging and Workflow team at Temple University’s Computer Services department. I have been working here since July 2014. Currently, I am responsible for modifying existing programs that automatically import documents for different departments across Temple.

This week I’ve been working on a program for the Admissions department, and it is almost good to go.
I currently work at Yoh Services as a contract Data Steward for IMS Health. I starting working as a Data Steward July of 2014 on a three month contract, and after the contract expired I was brought on part-time to work during school. While working at IMS, I have contributed to a number of Master Data Management(MDM) projects for various Pharmaceutical clients. Projects I’ve worked on have mostly been using Excel and researching IMS internal databases for quality check/data governance efforts to provide the client with a best match resolution. I started work a few month’s ago on another MDM project in which my manager and I are developing the standard operating procedures and would eventually have me as the project lead for this portion of the project. I look forward to continuing to improve and learn from the Data Steward position at Yoh Services.

My place of work was at FIS, one of the fortune 500. It’s quite an honor working for such a large company. I gained a lot of experience of how the corporate world worked. During my time at FIS I worked as an infrastructure engineer. I dealt with a lot of everyday problems, those including fixing and/or upgrading or working directly with FIS’s clients. Here is where I gained a lot of customer service skills as well. The building where FIS was located was also occupied by one of its clients. Whenever there was a problem I would personally go and fix it. I dealt with clients who had hardware and software problems, considering my major it made it a great experience.

I am currently working at Trion Group, an employee benefits brokerage firm that is a subsidiary of Marsh and McLennan Agencies. I started working at Trion this past summer as an underwriting intern in the Life and Disability department. I am currently working part time there during the school year and am working there full-time after I graduate in May. As an underwriter, it is my job to price insurance rates based on previous experience of a group. The average day for me at my job revolves mostly around Excel. I am constantly using Pivot Tables to help me better understand and analyze data. I also have been using SharePoint a lot recently. When a client’s plan is up for renewal, insurance carriers will try to bid for our clients business. Insurance carriers will place all the necessary documents onto SharePoint and we will go in there and grab them. I am excited to graduate so I can concentrate more on my career and gain more responsibility within my position.
