Today at Ideal, I realized an important part of being proficient in this company. Prior to my past beliefs, I thought that having a great degree and attending school for many years decided your ability to complete tasks at Ideal, but what really helps is your experience.                

Having many years of experience, and a college degree, is what helps you get through the day at Ideal. An example would be comparing my first day here to my fourth day here. The first day, I was organizing hard dollar folders by number throughout six cabinets. Getting through a stack of about 20 folders would take me around 15-20 minutes. Now, comparing that to today, I only took about 2-4 minutes! A simple routine like this was tremendously shortened by several times of practice. What does this have to do with working at Ideal? Picture the same idea, getting through a task with experience, but with an array of companies to work with. Memorizing and learning what companies buy, sell, provide, and service helps me know where and how to file their paperwork, work with their representatives, and get an overall understanding of how to do business with them.


I’ve learned that experience and memorization will be key to becoming a proficient intern for the Contracting Department. Hopefully, I'm able to practice many more tasks resembling the ones provided today!

Once I got to Ideal, I started to go to Steve and I grabbed a handful of Invoices which took me a while to do. After that Steve sent me some Picking sheets and it took me about a hour. Then Melanie gave me some Picking sheets to arrange also, after arranging I can put the numbers into Sugar and after finishing those I can put them in a separate room in case we ever need them.

Today was a busy/productive day. I started the morning by checking lots of papers and also checking if Alex had signed all of them so I can be able to file them. If Alex had not signed them, I had to give them to her. Afterwards, I had to file all the papers in the correct folders. After filing all of the papers, I had to put white out on some names that were on folders so Yuli can reuse them for something new. The rest of the day I was filling out birthday cards for October so they can be mailed. Last I took some of the cards and sealed them so they can be mailed.

Today I worked on the board making a Winter Memories for the Ideal works to put pictures of  their winter memories. I only worked on scans since Steve has a big stack of  scans that need to be done. Today was a pretty relaxed and productive day. I completed about 300 scans.
