A couple weeks ago, we learned what the WRIS team is up to outside of work, but what are they up to from nine to five, and what do they like about it?
This week, we asked:
What are your interests related to work? What aspects of your job excite you?
Charlie: Running the business and seeing it become more and more successful is very enjoyable. The key to its success are good people and I have a bunch of them. I like watching them and supporting them while they do their thing. I enjoy new business opportunities and the thrill of closing a good sale. I love technology so naturally I enjoy the hosting side of our business. Understanding Networking and the Internet is an ongoing task. Firewalls, routers, switches, servers, SANs, it never stops and is all very cool. New technology for the virtualization of servers and work stations is in its infancy and has so much potential. There’s no telling where this is all going but it’s always going. It’s been a fun ride and I know it will continue to be.
Seth: I love being able to see a project through from start to finish. I get satisfaction out of hearing clients (or potential clients) speak of a problem, finding a solution that works for them and their end users, and then putting the solution into place. I also think it's exciting to watch out technology evolves and shapes our lives.
Bonny: I love my job! Love people, love helping people, love solving problems. Every day is different and exciting. I am able to make my own opportunities and try new things. I really like the people I work with.
Adam: I enjoy problem solving and “thinking outside of the box.” I enjoy helping a client push their ideas to better ideas.
Carmen: I love that every day is different. The web is constantly changing which means we need to be constantly evolving and advancing our game.
Nick: I like programming. Figuring out how to do something new is interesting. I like to figure out these logic puzzles.
Glenn: Building sites, learning new techniques and technologies.
Debbie: I have enjoyed getting the financial end of getting WRIS organized and like the forecasting and planning for the coming year.
Salli: I love the immediacy of the web. It’s amazing that you can find just about any type of information you could possibly want online, and within seconds. It’s cool being involved with that, even on a small scale. I also think it’s hilarious that my daughter already knows her way around the computer as well as (or better than) I did when I graduated college!
Kelsey: I have a lot of interest in marketing and creativity, so this job allows me to incorporate both of those things. I get to figure out new and different ways to engage people. It is also exciting to be a part of a company in its growth stages.
Henry: Computers have always interested me, I wrote my first program at the age of ten on a Commodore64, I’m dating myself but who’s counting. Computers have revolutionized the way we live, I can’t find a single aspect of life that is not touched by technology. My job is exciting because technology can be scary at times, but it can also be extremely comforting.
Drew: Everything! The creativity. The client contact. The vendor relationships. The success of accomplishment. Being an old school print designer I have a love of both print and web.
Fernando: I’m one of those lucky people that just loves what they do.
