WHAT EMPLOYERS SAY

Amy G.

Supervisor

BDO, USA

"I worked with Jaylyn while she interned for my team at BDO in the summer of 2019.  Jaylyn has the most positive attitude and incredible work ethic!  She jumped in and got ingrained in the team and culture instantly and was a huge asset to the team.  During the course of her internship, she came up with new ideas, helped with large projects, authored an email for the Michigan offices that were sent to a list of about 125,000 clients and prospects regarding the Flint water crisis, and contributed to a lot of other projects.  She always has a smile on her face and is eager to learn.  Jaylyn was always asking questions and is the type of person who will roll up her sleeves and help out wherever she is needed.  I really respect Jaylyn for her decision to come to Chicago for the internship because she didn't know anyone and by the end of the summer, she had a lot of friends and had built solid connections with people from all over the firm.  Her work ethic, passion for learning, and her zest for life truly made the summer one I will never forget!  I would hire Jaylyn in heartbeat!"

Supervisor

ALPFA

"I write this as a personal recommendation for Jaylyn. Jaylyn was a volunteer for the Women of ALPFA and Unilever event, Understanding and Investing in the Latinx Community, with more than 130 professional attendees, ALPFA Board members, and professional volunteers. During the event, Jaylyn showed enthusiasm, commitment, and leadership, owning the process of registration and logistics and making sure that the process was smooth and efficient. Guests left the registration table with the right information and the best first impression about ALPFA. Jaylyn's organizational skills helped the registration process of the event to become more successful than we anticipated.  I believe that Jaylyn's excellent character and her desire to succeed in her chosen career will make her an excellent addition to your team."

Kelly G.

Manager

Grignard

"As Jaylyn’s direct manager who worked closely with her throughout her time here, I was impressed with her writing abilities, friendly personality, and time management skills. As she continues her education at Rutgers University in Newark working towards a Journalism degree, I’m confident that she has the capabilities to excel as an employee wherever her career takes her. As an intern at Grignard, Jaylyn demonstrated outstanding writing skills. During the time she worked for us, she has been able to manage and go above and beyond on all of her tasks. She wrote and edited several Standard Operating Procedures for various functions of the company ranging from instructions on how to operate machinery to the new creation and implementation of our Document Control Plan. As her internship progressed, Jaylyn was completing her assignments and taking the initiative to ask other employees around the office if they needed help with any projects. Because of her internal drive, we involved her in the marketing division, and she aided with market research for Grignard’s new product line. She assisted with the launch of our newest site by tediously reviewing all aspects of the webpage and making edits as she saw fit. Jaylyn’s professionalism, willingness to learn, and a sense of humor make her a pleasure to work with."

Nicole A.

Manager

BCBG

During our first interview, right off the bat, I knew she was going to have great potential with us at BCBG. On the first day, she was able to learn everything quickly even though she had no clothing retail background. She showed initiative when it came to selling and doing the floor visuals. Jaylyn is a very sweet, intelligent, and motivated person and employee. Jaylyn immediately was able to make connections with almost every customer that walked through the door. She was our number one associate based on weekly sales goals.  I never questioned her capabilities because she truly has great potential with whatever she sets her mind too.
