Jacob Burns is a Series Buyer at Webasto Americas. Colleagues describe him as "Jacob has worked on the Art Van Business Transformation program as an intern for the last 2 months. In that time Jacob has developed advanced Microsoft Smartsheet skills and developed the program tracker to communicate project progress, manage calendars and highlight project risks for the executive sponsors. He also worked collaboratively with implementation partners/consultants designing and managing several dashboards within Smartsheet, including workflow, document repositories and project planning In addition to his Smartsheet skills, Jacob developed an astute understanding of several business roles within the Art Van organization and was a pleasure to work with. " and "You could interview countless candidates, travel hundreds of miles, wade through reams of resumes, request thousands of references; you still wouldn't find as perfect a fit for a job as Jacob was for the internship at Art Van Furniture. His initiative to tackle an assignment, research and learn new programs, make recommendations, and simply produce work made him a valued part of our entire team. It also made him in high demand throughout multiple buildings as his input on Smart Sheet and SharePoint was much sought after. The confidence and aplomb with which Jacob conducts himself makes it seem as if he has worked with the diverse groups for years, not just months. He asks good questions, can go far with minimal supervision, and is not afraid to ask for instruction and help when needed. In short- I wish he wasn't our intern. I wish he was our co-worker. I am more than slightly jealous of the people who will eventually have him on their team permanently, and I also look forward to following what I am sure will be a stellar career. "
