Data Entry Analyst
Portland, Oregon
After about six months as a contractor, I was offered a full-time position at SurveyMonkey as a Data Entry Analyst. The responsibilities as a contractor remained, where I continued to analyze data and conduct research to complete data sets.Over time I earned the trust of my superiors to join their research teams and support them on various research projects. Over the course of the next year and a half, I coordinated on a few hundred different projects, including their biggest project to date called the Elections Project. This project followed the 2016 presidential election, surveying voter perceptions on key moments in the campaign. Working on these projects with the research teams helped me to build skills in project management/coordination, being able to work in a group setting or independently, time management and being able to juggle multiple projects at once. I became highly proficient using Excel, Word, and other programs as I used all of them to manage the content and data related to these projects. I proved to my managers that I was trustworthy enough to help manage their platform called Question Bank. I had the training, authority, and permission to create new content or delete old content in order to keep the system up to date. I earned additional project management skills by working on this platform because my superiors would send me instructions on what content needed to be added or removed and trusted me to be able to complete these projects my own way. These projects revolved around creating certified survey questions for the Question Bank that customers to access and add to their surveys. Thanks to my contributions, customers were able to better trust the quality of the questions that they would use to draw the conclusions they need in order to make more informed decisions.
