Inessa Gerber, Quality Assurance Analyst, Information Builders
"First of all I would like to thank you for everything that you did for me. If it wasn't for you and for the great organization NYSIA, I would be probably still looking for a job. My official title is "quality assurance analyst", and involves system development in a sense that I would be meeting with customers (on conferences) to see what functionality they need in our system and to explain how to use the current build.

The XML and Java certification that I received through NYSIA and CUNY grad center is very helpful, since I deal a lot with XML and Java. Overall, I like the job and the people I work with." This position is full-time.

Shima Nakazawa
I worked for QlikTech, software marketing company for a period of 4 months. My experience with them has been fantastic. I've learned a lot of things by just trying to figure out things on my own. Also, I programmed some applications to have them easily deal with their administrative data.

There are lots of things we can learn by actually doing things in a real work place, not by just sitting in a class room. QlikTech employees knew that I was an intern; so of course, they didn't expect me to know "everything"; as long as I could give them what they needed, they were happy with me. I now know this internship was the best way to not only gain technical skills, but also gain the skills for how to interact with people in a work place.

Luis Mondesi
Luis Mondesi is a senior at City College of New York. He got a summer internship at Manhattan Routing Inc, working as a systems administrator. Luis was very pleased with the process and excited about getting a job; he wrote this to show his excitement: "I wanted to send you this Thank You note. You have been so helpful and so nice. Thanks a lot for your help and for submitting my resume to such an exciting firm. The way you kept on top of the situation contacting me via phone and e-mail for any particular problem was great. Thanks again for your help. You guys rock!"
Michael Khoury
Michael was a senior at The College of Staten Island when he was accepted into NYSIA's program. He got an internship at Progressive Systems Consulting, developing web projects using Microsoft's latest technologies. Michael had this to say about how he was able to get to this level: "Working hard and staying focused on my goals were the main elements to achieve my goals. Of course, the internship position and the good computer science program at The College of Staten Island were very important factors. Thanks to NYSIA, PSC, and CUNY for their roll in my success!"

Michael is now a Software Design Engineer in Microsoft's International Group, Outlook Application.
