>> My name is Olivia and I graduated from Pomona in 2013 and I work
as a technical consultant at a midsized software company.
So the developers make the baseline software, which is,
it's a software for Royalties Accounting.
And my job is to, well so the project consultants learn what it is
that individual customers want the software to do for them.
So how they want it to perform the calculations, how they want it to appear when they use it,
the different field names and such, and then what kind of statements they want to generate.
And so I'm actually specifically a statement technical consultant.
So once the project consultants have figured that out they pass the information to me.
And my job is to configure, use built in features of our software to get it
to perform a certain way and produce certain kinds of statements for various customers.
So typically what I do is that I have a mockup of what the customer I'm working
for at the moment wants their statements to look like, and then I have to go into the Excel tool
and basically create a statement that looks that way with all of the appropriate variables.
So usually the mockup has sample data and then I have to recreate it with variables.
And sometimes it can go anywhere from very simple to very complicated.
Like sometimes it's literally either almost no variables it will look the same almost every
time with the exception of maybe the address in the upper corner.
And then there are other times where it's like there are going to be five blocks of data
and some of them won't show up sometimes and sometimes some rows will be missing,
sometimes some columns will be missing.
And so that's actually what I'm working on like right now.
So that's a busy day.
