  Schrader Electronics

  Jul 2009 - Aug 2009

  Assistant IT Analyst

  There were a wide range of tasks which I was taught how to carry out such as having to transfer data from one computer hard drive to another, wirelessly, using software known as Ghost Cast Server and also taking a laptop completely apart and replacing its keyboard and screen with a new one. I also learnt how to connect an ADSL phone line from the server room to another room in the company building to allow for quick data transfer and how a network across a server works through a computer and how that allowed you to gain access to people’s computer in order to fix software problems and change and create new username and password from your own PC. I was given the opportunity to be a part of the IT helpdesk for staff members who were having problems with their company laptop/PC. Show less

  Ulster University

  Sept 2013 - Jun 2014

  During my placement I have been given the opportunity to hire two students in their 2nd year as Digital Media interns who will be assisting me between the months of October and December. I have been given the responsibility of helping these students understand the process and the steps that need to be taken in order to create a strategy document and what aspects need to be considered in order for it to ready to be put forward as a proposal for change. A lot of research needs to be carried out for this project such as customer analysis, competitor analysis and market analysis. This is where I am able to delegate some responsibility towards these students and give them an opportunity to be involved and make a contribution. A lot of time management is needed and weekly meetings have been set up in order for me to keep track of their progress and answer any questions they may have about what is expected of them.
