When someone has a computer malfunction and needs help, I would not have said I am the person to come running, matter of fact, I think I would have been the person running in the opposite direction. Now, I know more about Google than I thought was possible. Some look at Google and get acquainted with their gmail, drive, or maps. There are infinitely more Applications, tricks, and functions that Google workers, and partners of Google such as WibiGoo, are spending so much time to cleverly plan, craft, and make 100% user friendly. Jeeseob and I were lucky enough to learn about most of these shortcuts, terms, and ultilities by helping to develop a new site called 'Arewedoing. Maykel Cano, who previously worked with Google earlier in his technology career, has created a website that will monitor how a company is doing (hence 'Arewedoing) by being able to transform a company into a virtual version of itself. This means that every database, every contact, every sales action and conclusion is recorded within the site, which is visible and managed by its administrators and partners. The support page, along with the website, of 'Arewedoing exists in both English and Spanish. Jeeseob and I worked to verify the English on this page, translate PowerPoint presentations into English, create surveys in both English and Spanish, and translate documents about the support team into English.
(thanks for modeling Jeeseob)
Not only did my Spanish vocabulary expand tenfold, but my English vocabulary did as well. We were often given talks, in Spanish of course, about how the site works and how Google functions, but mostly it was being able to test these functions with fake accounts we created and and reading about the different abilities on the support page that familiarized us with this part of the Internet.
To say the least, we also had the most hard working, enthusiastic, and all around great boss to work for. I wish 'Arewedoing the best of successes as a company in the future. Thanks for the great experience.
