I have gotten a cool new internship for school this summer. The department had a bunch of jobs within the campus computer systems offices but I was more interested in real world employment that would be a better reflection of my future job rather than just a padded experience within the system I'm already in. The job I have gotten is for a matchmaking site that I am sure that many have heard of before. I don't want to say the name because I don't want anyone frequenting a site I may not be working for when I graduate in a year because they are all so great I've realized. I have been working there for a week now and I have become really fond of the work. I do the job totally from home and I have only met the manager once so I really do get to set my own schedule. My responsibilities basically cover answering disputes and solving problems concerning peoples' individual Personals. These profiles are what they use to find others and what our system uses to match them up with those other people who are supposed to be their matches. If their singles listing doesn't show up right or appear the way in which they desire it to then everyone has a problem because they are paying for it and we are running a business. If their listings don't appear right then I have to figure out where in the server or what part of the server is not functioning properly. Then I have to either figure out how to rewrite some type of programming that we run their profiles through or I have to call the server office and tell them where I have narrowed the problem down to. Then they can take action in terms of the actual physical components of the server. I am just an intermediary between the server and the customer who actually contact me directly when there is a problem. It's a pretty cool job because of the responsibilities I have over the site script and the feeling that I am helping a whole lot of people meet their life goals by finding someone they can potentially love for the rest of their lives.
