"Each person I was introduced to at R. W. Baird was cordial, friendly, and made me feel very welcome. My sponsor went out of his way to expose us to as much of what his company does as he possibly could. Baird conveyed upon me what it would be like working for them." John Polanshek, Class of 2007 - Business Day 2006

"I learned a lot about the advertising industry, and my company gave me a lot of advice on succeeding in this business. They were very thorough with their answers to my questions and allowed me to sit in with client meetings. I liked this year's Business Day because as a senior who already has a job, it was still good to shadow someone in a job and industry that I eventually want to get into." Jacqui Knowlton, Class of 2006 - Business Day 2006

"Junior Achievement - It was amazing! It was interesting and encouraging. Everyone was so nice and helpful." Melanie Maltby, Class of 2007 - Business Day 2006

"I was fortunate to have spent the day with a Master Sergeant from the Illinois State Police District 7 in East Moline. After being given the opportunity to participate in this great experience , I applied for an internship with the Illinois State Police for the following year and because of Business Day I was accepted as an intern. It was thanks to business day that I now have an internship and I now know that I am heading in the right career direction." Jessica Whetzal Class of 2007 - Business Day 2005

Julia Lombardo, Class of 2006 - Business Day 2004

"Lujack's was more than I expected, and I got to see my studies applied to a real world job. The sponsor showed me the business structure of their company and I met with the president of the company. The day was well spent and very informative. Lujack's is a great company, and this experience was very valuable." Craig Hanus, Class of 2005 - Business Day 2004

"Deere is a great choice to shadow, not only because of its good name, but mostly because of its human resources.  It's a great feeling to be able to find real, kind, and down-to-earth individuals who have been serving Corporate America for years or even decades.  Best of all, they're there to listen to your questions and share their invaluable experience willingly and patiently!"

"I just wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful time at Salomon Smith Barney. All of the people I talked to were really nice and hospitable. I talked to many different people, from a person who has been there for only 18 months to one who has been there for 34 years! It gave me a really good feel of what the business world is like. They took me out to lunch at Biaggi's.we plan on staying in touch. All in all, it was a great day.."
