The kind of organization I feel that I would be most suited for is project-based one, which an organizational structure when a company’s department and personnel are organized around a particular project. One of the main reason is that I enjoy working on a project from scratch and build up because it involves coming up with a solution to a given problem after tons of research via Google and then building the idea and seeing if it works. If it does not work, back to the drawing board. Moreover, I like working in a diverse team with the different expertise to achieve a common goal. One experience I have that was like a project-based organization is my senior capstone course. In this course, we had our professor act like the project manager, who monitored the project’s progress and helped provide alternate ways in looking at a problem when the project was not going smoothly. Each team member was assigned a specific expertise.
My team and I had to develop a mobile app that trains the user’s auditory cues. In my team, we had an audio engineer, who developed the necessary sound for the game, the GUI programmer, who develop the graphic and algorithm for the game, external database programmer, who established communication (retrieval and storage of data) with the remote database, and internal database programmer, who figured out how to store and retrieve data from the phone’s database. Thus, each of us contributed to make a functional mobile application. This is why I would be most suited in a project-based organization.
