OS Case Study #2

Name: Vena H. Ronquillo

Section: BSIT 3

Case Study #: 2


 

Two Professionals that I selected:

  • A delivery person for a courier service

Delivery person is people who transport goods and materials from one person to another. Their work varies according to their employer's business needs and transactions. They are usually needed to drive along the same routes but that too can change according to delivery lots. They may also be required to work during night shifts, early morning, weekends and holidays. A delivery driver can be a high school graduate or even basic literate but most importantly he needs to have a valid driving license (a CDL in case of heavy transport vehicles) and must fulfil all the norms laid out for this kind of job. He should be above a minimum age limit, usually 18. Delivery drivers should have good interpretational skills and should be able to read road maps efficiently. They should have good driving records and sound work ethic. They also offer some additional mail-related services. Actually by every delivery of a delivery person encoded into their server that have the information of what he delivering after the customers receive their item delivery personnel will send a message using their communication gadgets while in their confirmation will be detected by any personnel which accompany by delivery person into their computer.

  • A newspaper reporter

    A newspaper reporter, Under the direction of an editor, NEWSPAPER REPORTERS gather and analyze facts about current events through interviews, investigations, or observations and write stories describing the events, background, meaning, and effects.  They are assigned breaking news developments such as disasters, crime, and human interest.  They take notes or use a tape Recorder while covering a story.  They check reference materials such as books, news files, and public records including criminal and civil court files for additional relevant facts.  Basic tasks of reporters involve viewing events objectively, reporting them accurately, and explaining their significance. Although electronic technology has brought change to the newspaper office, it has not diminished the need for reporters.  Automation has eliminated the legendary clamor of the large newsroom in favor of a more high-tech information producing operation. Reporters often work unscheduled overtime, and must have a high energy level to keep up with the fast pace of this occupation.  They must also be prepared to work under stressful situations such as earthquakes, fires, floods, shoot-outs, and other dangerous conditions. Reporters work both indoors and outdoors, dealing with all kinds of people. They may work for long periods on unproductive leads.  Editors have the option of revising, shortening, or deleting their stories from the newspaper.  The newspaper reporter might use a hand held computer in their work because they usually return to the office to write copy on a computer.  As Reporters 


 

type their copy, it can appear simultaneously on their screen and the editor's terminal screen, or the story can be sent to the editor after it has been polished.  From the editor, it is transmitted to the composing room computer that produces the story.  Sometimes, to meet deadlines, reporters deliver their news story over the telephone or use portable computers to enter the story, which is then sent by modem directly to the newspaper's computer system. This activities done for the fast and excellent work of delivering procedure, because of these theories of using electronic and computer devices in deliveries improve the quality and service of their business.
