What do I do at work?

Hi folks,

yesterday I met Patrick and Mr Weigelt in a pub in Templebar. We discussed our internship, the companies, the Irish mentality and the prices of food and beer. Mr Weigelt asked me if it would be possible to visit me today. Unfortunately my supervisor is in France at the moment so I had to deny. Not a problem because due to this he has more time to visit Dublin and surroundings. But one thing he said stayed in my mind: We write too much about our free time activities and too little about our working experience. I checked and have to admit that he is absolutely right. So I will give you an overview of my work:

Paul Panser – Finally got real work

Hi there,

yeah let’s continue to talk about what I have done so far.

Thursday I was supposed to meet with Barry, another peer from my project, in front of the BT Tower. There we had to re-install the anti virus of about 30 laptops. It was simple, I just had to deinstall the old version and then to install the new version of the AV-programm trough the network. After that he explained to me what the servers in their serverroom exactly do. „Paul Panser – Finally got real work“ weiterlesen

the week after the weekend

yeah, you couldn’t read much from me lately.
I still work at the same place. The task i’m busy with at the moment is the SEO of the homepage. SEO means search enginge optimization and is to get the page on the first page of google. We have a meeting once a day, where all of us sit together and dicuss how we can populate our page and get more traffic on it without spending a cent (besides the cost for the internet access 😉 ). No cost is also the policy for the workers here. I have 5 co-workers here which are all unpaid students. Three from spain who can hardly speak any english. It’s sometimes hard to understand them, a chinese who speaks english very well and then there is Virginia from the other FSZ class. All tasks here are those of a webdeveloper. Not exactly the type of work i hoped for, but it’s interisting too.

the private part is kept a secret on purpose. I’m not the guy who needs or wants to tell the world what I am doing the whole day. And because this blog is found in google i keep that part for me

best regards and have a nice friday

A normal work day

Hi everybody,

First we had a meeting with Karen and we discussed the ideas to improve the website. The content of the discussion was to find out which ideas are possible and which are impossible to implement on the website.

The Doo-Lally website has same problems with the speed. The backend is the reason why the website is load so slowly. Also we had to find out how we can speed up WordPress.

I asked Karen why the company is call doolally. You have to know doolally is similar to go crazy. The team went doolally to find a name for the company. That is the reason for the name of the company.

Paul Panser – Many things happened

Hello my friends of the sun!

I’m sorry, but I was really busy the last week, so I couldn’t write any more blog entrys…

Take your time, it’s very long ^^

Wow where should I begin? Thursday last week I was at 0830 o’clock at work. There I had to get to know the infastructure of my company, but there was a more important matter. The air conditioner in our datacenter gets renewed and they would shut down every server in the datacenter. That’s why my peers shutted down every single vmware server remotely on thursday. I had to watch them carefully and by the way Alan, my project boss, tried to explain everything to me. I really learned a lot and I saw that my peers are very skilled. In the afternoon I met with Sven in front of the Odyssey. There we were watching the movie ‚Sucker Punch‘. Note for all men: WATCH IT! ^^ „Paul Panser – Many things happened“ weiterlesen

Jonas Ehrhardt – many little tasks

Hi there,

while working in my company I got a few tasks to do. Besides maintaining the website I shall costumise flyers, design a rollup for a new line of products and now create two leaflets – one with a registration form for a competition and one with the competition rules. I shall print about 250 leaflets, but the printer makes problems every time I print more than tenat once. However printing ten every ten minutes is no problem due to it is not too urgent.

That is it for now – I still have a fight with the local printer >:D

Cheers Jonas

The first days

Hi @ all how is going?

The „new live“ for 2 month in Ireland started with the bus tour to the lad lane apartments.

The first task was to find a shop to buy something to food, to drink and to clean up.

At tuesday I was looking up my bus station. First it was a little bit difficult to understand the timetable but now it is easy.

I work with Oliver Knabe (apprentice from Strato) in the same company.

The topic of the first work day from the company doo-lally was to understand their tasks. The company sell clothing, shoes and accessories.

Today i got my first little project. I got a close look to the website www.doo-lally.com and I geathered some ideas to improve the website. We have to improve our knowledge about seo (search engine optimization) and to work out how the company can improve their ranking at a search engine.

Paul Panser – Start of the First Week

Hi there busy readers!

The first week in Belfast had started early on Monday.  We were supposed to meet with Kevin Shine at the  RSM Tenon Office. He introduced us to the working life in Belfast and told us how we have to behave. After that some of us had their first interviews with their work placements. The rest of us, me included, were free for the rest of the day and went trough the shopping area around the Victoria Street. We drank some coffee and searched for an electronics shop. Maybe you don’t believe me, but I think there is only one shop in Belfast which sells only electronics stuff. „Paul Panser – Start of the First Week“ weiterlesen

Jonas Ehrhardt – First Day @ work

Hi people in Germany, Northern Ireland or wherever you are,

hereby I am the first to report about my internship in Ireland. My company is Hager Limited which is a branch of Hager Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG in Germany.

The company is located near the Dublin Airport so I have to stay up 2.5hours before work begins(I have flexible working hours). The bus doesn’t have an announcement system so I missed my stop and got lost. So I just called my supervisor and we found out that I was less than 100meters away from my destination.

First of all it is a small branch with about 15 employees(including teleworkers) but there are only 4 here at the moment. My task is to update the web page (hager.ie). First I have to read through a lot of IT Rules and the Masterbrand Guide(how to use the CMS). However when I read the web page closely I don’t fear lack of work…

I look forward to hear/read of others working experiences

Greetings Jonas
