Ideal Group Interns

Today my day at Ideal was...Ideal! Began my day by restocking marketing literature cubbyhole. After that I went through the Ideal Group website and I printed out all the accomplishments that we had in the year 2012 that was in the news. When I was finished that Catherine wanted me to read the articles and learn about the company that I work for. Then lunch came and I had spinach with noodles and ribs. After lunch I printed out flyers and marketing materials Catherine sent  that we have created and organized them into a binder for better organization. I thought that was a good idea -- maybe I can  learn to better organize. Just another great day at Ideal. MB 

Yes, I hear it! My call of opportunity and success is just pounding at my door as I enter Ideal today. I’m going to face my destiny one day at a time. Today as I entered Ideal I was energetic. I knew that when I came to Ideal I was going to have an outstanding day. I walked in and saw no one in the ADMIN office. I thought that they went to a meeting so I set up shop and logged onto my computer. Soon after I got ready for the day Amanda comes in. It was nice to see someone familiar. I checked my email and looked at my tasks. I was to fix some excel sheets and do other minor things. With that I was off.           I did these tasks and I was told by Sylvia and Frank that an very, very, very important person was coming in today. It was Ken Barrett, Chief Diversity Officer of General Motors. I haven’t met many people from General Motors but the people I have met were great people. Ken came to see Frank and Ideal. I met with Ken and talked a l...

I walked into Ideal and said hello to Julie and everyone. I started to file PDPM and hard dollar folders and there were a bunch of them to do. When I was half way done filing them, Chelsea had me put the checks and the copies of the checks together. When I was done, I started matching the checks with the right invoices. Lunch came and they brought Mr. Pita, which was a great meal. When my lunch was over I continued working putting the checks with the invoices. When I was finally done I continue filing the PDMP and the hard dollar folders. But I was pretty happy I pass my English and Math finals, and hope that I passed all my finals. Overall my day went great. JP

When I entered the company of Ideal I was very awake. I arrived and said hello to Amanda. Amanda was the only one in the ADMIN’s office. There wasn’t much sound around because it was early in the morning. I sat at my desk and logged onto my computer. I checked my e-mail and I was ready for the day. Amanda had told me that Sylvia had left some tasks for me to accomplish. I went to see Amanda for a package for Frank, then I updated the Senators and Reps list, and completed any unfinished tasks from last week.   As always I started on the jobs immediately. After about an hour Sylvia came in. As I was doing this time seemed to go by quickly. The minutes passed twice as fast for me. After I was done with some of these tasks it was lunch time. Sylvia had left for lunch and Amanda was left alone as I went to the conference room.   Before I sat down I went to the vending machine and bought some chips. I took a seat and had a sandwich. I ate lunch and played around with ...

Today was a very long day at Ideal. I started my day by getting a cup of coffee and going to say hello to Sylvia. We started to have a conversation about some colleges sending me letters about their campuses and wanting me to go there. We also talked about a letter I got from the Marines and what I wanted to do in the future. I then headed to do the billing for this week which kept me busy all morning. When lunch time came, I went to the kitchen to get my sandwich. I ate at my desk and worked on the billing until I was finished. After, Frank sent me into his office to talk to someone that had good connections for me to become an engineer; his name was Mauricio Pincheira. I learned a lot and was interested on what I can become in the future. Overall my day went great.    .

My day at Ideal was good. My day started off by me completing some mailers that Catherine started for me. After I was done putting all of our info in the envelops I went to go mail them off. Catherine gave me another task to do and that was to make a contact list for Consultants/Business Facility Managers. That took me up to lunch and Catherine decided to take me out to lunch today. I got a corned beef sandwich and she had a chicken salad sandwich. After lunch Catherine wanted me to fill up our marketing literature cubbyhole  with more "dealer" and "Non-dealer" cut sheets. Then I continued the contact list I was doing before lunch. That was Mykel Bender's day. MB

It is 8:20 in the morning. I am just walking in and everyone has been waiting for me. What would they do without me? When I arrived I saw Sylvia and Amanda at their desks. I said, “Hello”, and sat down. I asked Sylvia how she is doing and she said, “I’m good”. I then logged onto my computer and started my day. While I was doing this Sylvia told me to follow her to Frank’s office and she gave me a list of things to do. This list included talking with Amanda, writing John Bradburn a thank you letter, making a folder on sustainability, watering Frank’s plants, and many other things. She also included going to lunch with Alexandria Ballard.   My first priority was to write a letter to John. I had to hand write it on a piece of paper and then on a letter. I first wrote in pencil to be able to erase if I mess up. I then wrote it in a blue pen to make it look nice. I thought it looked pretty good actually. This took time and penmanship to do so I was kind of nervous if I we...
