Grow as a professional
Description of the video:
00:00.000 --> 00:01.979- In completing my first internship,
00:01.979 --> 00:03.750
there were a lot of things that I found
00:03.750 --> 00:04.670
I was really great at,
00:04.670 --> 00:05.750
and there were things that I found
00:05.750 --> 00:06.700
that I really lacked.
00:06.700 --> 00:08.350
It was at that point
that I kind of realized
00:08.350 --> 00:10.300
that I needed to grow
more as a professional.
00:10.300 --> 00:13.000
And that is one of the reasons
why I decided to join MSIS.
00:13.000 --> 00:14.864
- I was looking for a good blend
00:14.864 --> 00:17.796
of technical skills and business skills
00:17.796 --> 00:20.040
so that I can always solve a problem
00:20.040 --> 00:23.150
with the perspective of both.
00:23.150 --> 00:24.480
- At some companies,
00:24.480 --> 00:26.360
you have to have a Master's degree
00:26.360 --> 00:29.460
to really reach the manager level.
00:29.460 --> 00:31.668
I decided to do the MSIS program
00:31.668 --> 00:35.880
so I don't hinder my
growth for the future.
00:35.880 --> 00:39.610
I really want to increase
my velocity to the top.
00:39.610 --> 00:42.050
- One of the best things
about the MSIS program
00:42.050 --> 00:43.780
is the quality of professors.
00:43.780 --> 00:46.640
They've been in the
industry for many years,
00:46.640 --> 00:50.144
so we get to learn from
the best in the industry.
00:50.144 --> 00:52.183
- The curriculum is definitely tailored
00:52.183 --> 00:54.142
to keep up with the fast-moving technical
00:54.142 --> 00:55.700
and business environment.
00:55.700 --> 00:57.119
MSIS really shapes the curriculum
00:57.119 --> 00:58.792
around what is actually happening today
00:58.792 --> 01:01.450
and what is going to happen tomorrow.
01:01.450 --> 01:04.344
- Our Career Coach Cindy is a very driven
01:04.344 --> 01:06.390
and inspirational person.
01:06.390 --> 01:07.685
She puts in a lot of effort
01:07.685 --> 01:10.211
to expose us to the right resources
01:10.211 --> 01:15.210
to ensure constant personal
and professional development.
01:15.210 --> 01:17.843
- There is the aspect of family
01:17.843 --> 01:19.270
within the program.
01:19.270 --> 01:21.780
Everyone's really in it together.
01:21.780 --> 01:24.220
There's such diversity of thought.
01:24.220 --> 01:27.354
- The MSIS program is one of
the most diverse environments
01:27.354 --> 01:28.810
I've ever been in.
01:28.810 --> 01:31.643
It's wonderful how people
from different cultural,
01:31.643 --> 01:34.416
educational, and professional backgrounds
01:34.416 --> 01:36.390
look at problems differently
01:36.390 --> 01:38.960
and bring in a different perspective.
01:38.960 --> 01:40.904
- I don't just have an
understanding of business
01:40.904 --> 01:42.710
and I don't just have a surface-level
01:42.710 --> 01:43.840
understanding of technology,
01:43.840 --> 01:45.220
but I have a really great understanding
01:45.220 --> 01:46.640
of how those things are combined.
01:46.640 --> 01:48.070
That's one of the big,
transformative things
01:48.070 --> 01:49.300
that I've seen in myself.
01:49.300 --> 01:50.970
- The courses I'm learning
01:50.970 --> 01:53.462
in my second semester
are very closely aligned
01:53.462 --> 01:56.844
to what I would be doing
at Roche as an intern.
01:56.844 --> 01:58.349
So that helped prepare me better
01:58.349 --> 02:00.500
to face the interview.
02:00.500 --> 02:02.794
- MSIS has offered everything
that they promised.
02:02.794 --> 02:04.548
I got my dream job.
02:04.548 --> 02:06.422
I'm moving to my dream city
02:06.422 --> 02:10.589
and I've learned more than
I could have even imagined.
