Questions about using interns: 1. What is the general process? - Start with a budget. - Offer a premier internship… - Leverage to new business options. - Sell yourself as the best. - USU is your friend and they want to be exploited. - The more you praise somebody… the harder they work. 2. What is required? Time, money, paperwork, contracts, etc. - Manage things with price. - Let price be your friend. - The University wants to be sold. 3. Who do I contact? How do I go about that? - Go up to USU. Talk to a specific contact. Go to the HR department. - Ask to come and speak to different departments. - Go with BIS students… you could always teach programming. 4. How did you get so many at a time? Where did you start? - Bid half of what you need or expect on the first go around. - Go simple and learn as you go. - The cash cow – bring in money…. - Layout the basics – training. 5. What where some things that you did that you thought were successful? 6. What were some things that you did that you wish you could do over and/or change? 7. What was the interview process? - Skill and heart. - Great attitude. 8. What kind of time did it take on your part to put things together? 9. Was anybody assigned to help you? 10. What was your favorite part about using interns? Why? 11. Recommendations…. - We didn’t get to all of the questions. - Protection through giving. o He asked me how I was protecting myself. My answer was – through giving… I’m okay with that! -Career Aggie, usu.edu/career -I was walking past some landscape architect drawings… tons of details and great concepts. Why not do the same thing for adilas… Let somebody design the layout and flow for what they want and need. We already have the dynamic interface capabilities, why not let them tweak it out. Let’s get some artists. -Adilas by itself is a bare bones interface…. Allow each corporation to customize their own skin or GUI (graphical user interface). USU – Info blast or Information Session – recruiting event – Target Stores was the presenter -Power point slide show – simple – bulleted – branded. -Why do you love your job? Come to work and love your job. -How is the company doing… Growing… -What is the business structure… this is this and that is that, etc. -What are we looking for? What will you be doing? -The interview process. -Managers vs. Leaders – looking for leaders. -Little tag lines as branding. -Star method – situation, task, action, result. -They had someone who had already done the internship. -Fast, fun, and friendly. -The discussion was fun and engaging. -Where will you be in three year, five years… -See if you are a good fit? Check it out. -Recruiting – selling yourself, your ideas, your products, your vision… Recruit and seek help! ___________________________________________________________ -What if you missed business data mapping with inline custom code… Instead of just altering a process… what if your process was dynamically mapped to your reports and even your accounting. You virtually get to create the process, the flow, and the mapping for accounting or other key points or indicators. Make the whole thing be dynamic. What is the story? What are the key check points or states, and what are the cause and effect relationships or mapping? If you don’t like our default process or mapping… no problem… do it your way! -What if we had a mini date/time clock application that could virtually be a cross between the following pieces… - A digital time clock (ins and outs) - A date or date range with pre-defined flags. - The power of the flex grid but smaller… maybe or maybe not. -What if we added more to the flex grid and let it play into the custom flow, flags, and time clock level? What if we added a section to the flex grid that could be mapped to and would hold a value as a state, status, or checkpoint? -Let the flex grid hold and/or become a bigger player. Use it in doing custom mappings, custom flow, etc. We would need another date field, sometime fields, and some numeric fields. -One known issue is data types… the flex gird uses a lot of text based fields… What if we could dynamically “type” or “cast” certain fields to be certain data types. For example: strings, numeric, dates, decimals, etc. Interesting. -A mix between: tools, functions, data, settings, and permissions. What do you want? What do you need? How do you want to do it? What are the steps? -make your own model… -We just sell Legos… what you build or do with them is up to you… We sell potential! -On the flex grid… we could add more fields like dates, times, numeric, and then allow users to turn them on/off just like time templates. If they aren’t used, they are attached but hidden. If they are used, then they play as part of the game. -If you are controlling the mapping of the data… you may need to record the logic and SQL (math & formula) for your custom mapping. Something to think about. -What if the entire adilas application was all done by code in the database. Instead of using rigid files… what if each corp virtually created their own files based on instructions from within the system. -At some point, some company will want full SQL access to their data… that way they could do or run multiple pieces with custom data and calculations. -Random note and idea – I think it would be fun to write a book about my different worlds. I have reality with home and family, and I have this fantasy or sci-fi world of adilas with smoke and mirrors, data objects, relationships, and full of ideals and dreams. It might make a fun book at some future point. |
