Activities: Ticketing

One major problem that I have experienced during my internship is fitting my needs into other people’s schedules without getting in their way. There have been many times that I need to get someone else’s help with a certain task when I realize that they are working on their own personal duty, are in a meeting, or are in the middle of a different important task I don’t want to have to pull them away from. I have learned to use the Jabber status indicators to see what they are doing right at that time and if they are set to available, I can walk by their cube to see if they have free time or are working on something they would most likely rather finish before I interrupt them.

Post 2 6/29/2017 Activities: Power company project The work atmosphere inside of my group is very friendly and cooperative to get the things we need to get done finished as quickly and effectively as possible. The dress code is business casual within my group and most other groups. Usually what me and coworkers wear consists of jeans or khaki pants and a collared shirt. The work ethic is relaxed but making sure to get the work done. Coworkers will talk and have laughs but always make sure they are getting all the work they have to get done finished.

Post 10 7/28/2017 Activities: Ticketing Today was my last day at Verizon. It is a very bittersweet feeling. I am happy to be able to rest for the summer but now realize I am going to miss the people I got to work with on a day to day basis. This internship has been a very interesting experience and something I definitely do not regret partaking in. It has showed me sides to Verizon as a global company that many customers will never see. It has given me the experience of a working environment in a technology based company which is exactly the type of company I am seeking to work at in the future and this experience helps to solidify that view.

Post 1 6/22/2017 Activities: Training Verizon is a global company that does many things that you may not even know about. Before I did this internship, I thought all that Verizon did was manage their cellular networks but now I see the many things they actually do all over the United States that make them such an important company in this day and age. They do many things including power controllers as well as helping to track alarms and different things that may affect our everyday lives. Right now I am working as a high school intern in the group of GPNOC, which stands for Global Power Networks Operation Center. I will be working with many people who handle different tasks within the Global Power NOC including watching for outages and many more things. I have been helping many people with things that they may not have time for or just need the extra set of hands to complete. I have done things from closing tickets to helping find outage numbers and maps for numerous power co...
