This month I'd like to introduce you to our summer office assistants in our Troy office.
Periodically, management and department heads take time to look around the office and see "what do we need to get done around here that we just can't get to?" As you've learned from reading past issues of our e-newsletter (archive is here), there is always a lot going on in our offices. Just like at home, we have projects and tasks on our to-do lists that just don't get done. We then compile our wish list of tasks, confirm that funding is secured, and then offer summer office assistant positions to children (age 14 and up) of our employees. In the years we are able to offer this program, these summer employees help us immensely with taking care of these tasks and so much more!
Besides helping us out, the purpose of these summer work opportunities is to provide real-world work and interviewing skills to our teens and young adults. In order to secure summer employment with us, the students needed to follow our formal
application and interview process (see available
Employment
and Internship opportunities
here
) We make sure the work we have available is correctly matched up to the potential summer office
assistant's
abilities and interests. If there is a match, and the application process was followed, we are able to offer a summer employment opportunity.
We'd like you to read on, meet a few of our summer employees and hear what they've learned from their experiences (the student's names are first, their parent's names and titles are listed second).
Who knows ... maybe one day they'll be joining us as staff members!

Carter Alexander - Property Management
(Carrie Alexander, Springhill Pooled Accounts Trust)
So far this summer I have been filing and scanning documents for the Property Management group. I've really enjoyed working with the office machines here and experiencing what it is like to actually have a job instead of sitting around all day.
My favorite part of work is scanning documents; it is interesting in its own weird way! I am thankful for the flexible time schedule.

Sophia Gilardone - Development
(Janell Gleeson-Gilardone, Property and Asset Management)
This is my third summer working at CHN! I finally feel like I know what I am doing. Once again this summer, I handled the initial leg work in securing new and returning items for the Bring it Home auction. This year I was able to secure 2 JetBlue Airline tickets! Coming back for multiple summers I have been able to witness the impact Bring it Home has on CHN and the people we help. Every department and every person here is a crucial component of making CNH a success. My favorite part of working at CHN is the people, everyone is so friendly and fun to be around. It is a great work environment.

aila Lakatos - Accounting
(Karen Bertram, Quality, Compliance, and Accreditation Specialist)
My experience this summer has been lovely. I don't know much about accounting, however, I really enjoyed getting to know all of the wonderful ladies in the department and do work for them. This has been the perfect summer job leading into my senior year. It has helped me be more independent, it has showed me what a "real world" job is like (which I will be preparing for very, very soon,) and it has helped me to stay on top of things and continue to be productive, despite the fact that it is summer. I thank CHN for allowing me to be able to come in this summer and work for you all. It's been an awesome experience to be able to see what CHN is about and what goes on here, and really feel a part of the office.
