VMware

“
I worked for ten days in VMware. I worked in project management an learned about the technical side of what VMware do. The trust and control given to me made the work experience extremely informative and the working atmosphere was excellent. VMware has given me a lot to think about in relation to software and IT and I think it will be my future career.”

“
I went for a one-week work experience with the IT department at Merck in Carrigtwohill. The work I did was varied and included research, sitting in on meetings, system WIM installs and going on tours. the highlight was gaining an understanding of the different styles of corporate management which I gained by being around different people for the week. I would definitely consider pursuing this as a career.”
