SCANA has recently posted jobs for summer students in our IT department. Please feel free to pass this information on to qualified students or post on your job boards. Current students can apply for these positions at https://www.scana.com/careers/students

Help needed with web application: Capstone Connect. New features requested:

1. Once a student has done and evaluation for another student , that student should be removed from the to do list (as conformation it was done)
2. See average grade for each student for each grade period
3. Reset password needs to be fixed, it doesn’t work
4. Open and close time for each evaluation. This would allow me to set up the evaluations for the entire semester.
5. The program needs to give the average to the second decimal place and especially all the way to 10. It stops at 9. This is really irritating.
6. The program needs to be able to copy questions from one evaluation to another or copy an entire evaluation. I have to either retype or copy the same questions one by one each time I open a new evaluation period. (the questions are the same).

I may have a couple more that would add to the work Dr. Dale McCants MCCANTS@cec.sc.edu

Matt says:

I’ve been working as a software developer at SouthEastern Freight Lines’ IT department since June. We’re now looking to add four more developers to our team, and I’ve been asked to reach out to the December grads at USC. I’ve attached the official job listing to this email. The primary languages that we use are Java, COBOL, and SQL. I came in having no experience with COBOL or SQL, but was able to pick it up quickly, so not being familiar with those won’t be an issue. Aside from the programming the culture and environment truly is great here at SouthEastern and I’m enjoying working here.

REsimplifi is an OEM commercial real estate process and document management product built on the Force.com platform (Salesforce). We're currently in our UAT sprint and plan to be deployed in the marketplace during the 1st quarter of 2016. We'd like to explore the possibility of having an intern work with us during the winter semester of 2016, and, if the intern is a good match, potentially hire him or her to work for us full time upon graduation. Ideally, we'd like someone with a strong javascript background and good front end skills (and, of course, someone interested in being trained in the ways of Force.com, APEX and Visualforce). This would be a good opportunity for a student to learn Salesforce and Force.com (we would have them actually programming - not just doing administrative tasks around the office). If you know of a student (or two) who fits that profile we'd love the opportunity to have them as an intern. Thanks so much for your help and I look forward to hearing back from you. Sincerely, David Collier REsimplifi, Inc. 718-989-4714
