Gather IQ – CA Work Experience Program

Day 8 – Human Resources and Gather IQ

6/6/19

Today was my last day working at SAS. I started the day by shadowing my host as she did background checks and other things she needed to do as a University Recruiting Coordinator. After shadowing her, I left to meet with someone who worked in the HR Communications department. She talked to me about social media and how they are the link between marketing and HR. After that meeting, I went to lunch with the rest of the Cary Academy students. After lunch, we finished up our projects for Gather IQ and presented them to the team at SAS. I had a great experience at SAS and really learned a lot!

Day 5 – Team Projects

6/3/19

Today we met in building C to continue our projects. When we arrived, we were shocked when the people who assigned our project decided to change it up. We got rid of the last project that we had worked on Friday, and started on a new challenge of creating a viral challenge video. We worked on this all morning and scrapped several ideas before settling on our best one. We then had pizza for lunch in one of the conference rooms. After lunch, we finished up our scripts for the video, and started filming some of the clips that we will need for the final video. We also researched background shots and found other information for our video. That was all for today, and I am excited to work in Human Resources tomorrow.

Day 4 – Team Business

5/31/19

Today we all met up as a group in building R and started doing some research for SAS’s Gather IQ team. We first learned a little bit about the app and what it was, and then we completed a survey. We looked at different parts of the website and gave lots of feedback in regards to what was good and what could be fixed. After that we had lunch in building R, and started on our project. We were tasked with creating a video that reflects one of the Global Goals that was featured on the website. We started brainstorming a video and a marketing plan that would best fit the project. That was all for today, and I am excited to keep working on Monday.
