Social Work Interview Report

When I met with Mr. Sheridan at the Professional Arms Center of Excellence (PACE), I experienced what a typical day as contractor and Informational Technology (IT) would be. We started with setting up a couple desktop monitors for the new Microsoft Surface Pro tablets the Air Force ordered to replace their laptops. This consisted of taking them out of their packaging, screwing them into to their stands, and hooking up all the proper wires. In addition, I had the chance to watch him explain all its features to another staff member. He took care to explain the new uses of the computer, whether an external hard drive was needed, what would happen to the computer that was replaced, and how the identifications cards would work for it when leaving
Sheridan’s job seemed pretty low-maintenance initially, owing to the fact that he set aside time on Monday, so we could focus more on talking as I helped him with small jobs around the workplace. Mr. Sheridan is highly versed as an Information Technologist at PACE as he worked in separate buildings on base in accordance with his own, an example being a help desk position nearby, making his job much easier. Owing to his fourteen years of work experience and formal education at Norwich University in Vermont, where he focusing on the earliest forms of cybersecurity and forensics, he is definitely a skilled member of the field I can trust to to reliable and relevant information
Sheridan, meeting the staff at PACE, and talking to Mr. Sheridan about his experiences in his field, I am kind of skeptical of whether or not his position is something I would aspire to be in. Though Mr. Sheridan is absolutely experienced in his field, an average day at PACE just seemed to slow for me to appreciate. I am hoping that future visits there will be more for me to see and learn from, but considering Mr. Sheridan’s opinions on his experience working on Randolf Air Force, I do not expect too much. Mr. Sheridan convinced me that his position is more of an inconvenience or set back, owing to the career decisions he made in college as he wishes he had majored in Criminal Law instead. His position as an contractor and IT seems like something I would desire to avoid to experience first hand, as he himself is much more experienced than he given credit for but is still tied to doing more low-level work. On the other hand, I look forward to planning small projects with him possibly outside of his job whenever
