Today was my first day at Verizon Wireless HQ in Basking Ridge, NJ. I am working for Human Resources in the Benefits department. Today I arrived a little early around 7am and waited in the lobby till around 8am. The other interns and myself were then taken to a room to turn in our paperwork first. We were then taken to get ID badges and parking passes for gaining access to the building.
After all of that was taken care of, I was guided to my department and shown to my cubicle I would be working in. My supervisor then gave me a tour of the department and I met some of the people I would be working with this summer. Everyone was real helpful and friendly that I met.
I got an introduction to some reports that I will be doing during my time at Verizon Wireless which I will learn more about in the upcoming weeks. By next month I should have full responsibility to handle these reports on my own and get them done every Monday and Thursday by noon which is when they are due.
I completed a few training programs which I will continue to do tomorrow and the rest of the week to learn all of these new systems. I will be also training to use COGNOS for disability claims put through from Metlife to Verizon. At the end of the week my supervisor and I will be discussing and starting to plan out my project that I will be implementing throughout the summer for a Benifits and Disabilities claims database. This project will be documented and planned out using Microsoft Project 2003.
Well that concludes my first day at Verizon Wireless. I look forward to working here for the rest of the summer and have plans to greatly succeed in my projects.
