Since I am still an undergraduate student, my project management skills stem from previous internships and school projects that I have been assigned. During my internship at Spex Certiprep, a manufacturing company ,in Metuchen, NJ, I (and two other interns) were hired to develop and execute a new organizational system for their chemicals. Since all the employees were overall very busy, a new system wasn’t proposed until their old system was too unorganized to handle and products went missing. Utilizing Microsoft Excel, the three of us developed a neater storage system that would allow the chemist to find what they need easily and disposed of any expired or damaged chemicals/products. After a few days of getting to know each other, we were all able to identify our ideal position that would allow the process to run as smoothly as possible. I and one of the other interns took leadership of the project in order to meet the deadline we were assigned. Every decision that was made was brought to us first before being executed and we believe we worked to the best of our ability to complete our task. Taking the time to identify our skills we were able to function like a smooth running machine; which made the project very easy for us complete in less than three months.
