  Flooring Resources

  • Elk Grove Village, Illinois

  • Seasonal Intern

    • May 2012 - Jan 2014
    • Elk Grove Village, Illinois

    As a seasonal intern at a flooring subcontractor, I worked in the bid department where I would coordinate, through email and phone, with general contractors to create new bids for various projects as well as update old bids with new information for that certain job. This job required me to work as a team with contractors, field supervisors, estimators, and project managers so that all of the time specifications were met on certain project. The fast paced process of this job increased my skills with organization, communication, and the ability to work with other team members.
