Mod 2 Journal - Meg Gross

 

What is your internship? describe it as if you had an elevator ride to do it in

My internship is centered around the work that I currently do as an Implementation Project Manger for a Global company.  I will be working with various team, resources and vendors to implement new client business and/or specialty IT projects.


What do you know about it?

I have been a project manager for just under 10 years.  I am aiming to get my PMP in 2023 and my MBA in project management by 2025.


What will you need to learn to accomplish it?

I don't know that what exactly more I need to learn to accomplish it but I do know that the more practical application I get, the more effective I become.


How does it represent your BASIS learning and IT skills?

I think that what I do for a living gives me an edge in the BASIS learning program and it is the degree program is what gave the opportunity to break in to this world.

Mod 9 - Meg Gross - Progress Report

 This week has been pretty fun! I stared my new job after enjoying a 5 day weekend.  Taking some time to unwind and clean out my office and get myself ready for this new career adventure was awesome!  Don't get me wrong, I did take a few hours out of my day to go see Maverick...which was also AWESOME! I have started a new position as an IT Agile Project Manager with a company named TrueBlue.   This week is a bit weird as my new boss is on Vacation until June 12th...which happens to be the same day that I leave on vacation with my family.  But, I was introed to the team already, got all my access set up and have been given the task to write out my IDP and get my training done ASAP. I get great vibes thus far...fingers crossed this is a great experience.

Mod 10 - Meg Gross - Progress Report

This Weeks Hours: 40 Internship Overall Hours: 530 (including overtime, holiday pay, and PTO) I have to say this has to be the most relaxing and odd 40 hours that I am going to work for a week.  I am in week 2 of my new job and my boss is on PTO for the week again...and then I go on PTO next week.   I spent last week meeting the different teams.  Completing my training.  Ensuring I have access to all tools (which was a bit of a trip) and just getting ready to run when we are all back in the office. I am really excited about the future at this company and excited to drive in some projects.
