What's it like working with Olsten? Can you really get where you want to go? Well, don't take our word for it. Listen to what current and former Olsten assignment employees have to say:

Jeanie: Quick Steps

A recent college graduate, Jeanie very much wanted to get a job at a leading agricultural technology in St. Louis. One problem: She knew she didn't have all the technical experience that company required before they would hire her full-time. Solution: She came to Olsten. Now she on the assignment she wanted, working on crop transformation.

"Olsten helped me get my foot in the door," she says. "I don't know if I could have done it without them."

Kathy: Flexibility

Kathy is on assignment at a major copier Corporation in Denver, working in the customer service department. As a mother of three, she needs flexibility in her workday. And that's what she has.

At this assignment, she is able to make her own schedule. "I have the choice of working full time or part time," she says, "and I work the hours of the day are best for me." She is able to begin her day very early and leave the office before the kids get home from school.

Kathy has turned down two full-time job opportunities since she's been with Olsten because she doesn't want to give up the flexibility Olsten offers.

Jill: New Town, Old Friend

Laid off from her previous job, Jill relocated to a new town and went to Olsten for help in finding work.

"No matter where you go, Olsten is there and ready to help," she says.

For over 18 months, Jill has been working for Bristol-Myers Squibb as an administrative assistant.

Gary: Moving Up, Moving Fast

Bored with his full-time job and, feeling that he was being held back from exploring new opportunities, Gary decided to quit and join Olsten as a database administrator with one of our partnership companies.

"That one move doubled my salary," he says. "Not only that, I've expanded my skills in the past year by working with the latest in software development technology."

After Gary got a good sense of what his opportunities were, he accepted a full-time position as a team leader in the information resource department of a large Milwaukee utility.

Doug: Gone Fishin'

Doug works on assignments for Olsten because he wants flexibility. "I want to be my own man. Do what I want to do, when I want to do it," he says.

Doug works as an accountant in the winter, and fishes for tuna during the summer off Montauk, Long Island.

"What's Olsten to me?" asks Doug, rubbing his chin. "It's freedom."

Eleanor: 73 Years Young

A retired full-charge bookkeeper and office manager, Eleanor looks forward to new challenges. "I'm going to keep working as long as I can," she says, beaming.

Articulate and fit -- she works out several times each week -- Eleanor only had one problem. "No computer skills," she says, with a shrug. No problem. She qualified for training and Olsten is helping her upgrade her skills.

Eleanor works for Olsten one day a week at the Freudian School of Psychology. The school staff likes her so much, they specifically ask for her whenever they need help with their books.
