	With Randstad, it's not just about finding a job. It's about growing your career. When Rosie came to Randstad, she was recently unemployed and very uncertain about the direction of her career. Her only experience had been in the hotel industry and she didn't want to continue on that path. By working closely together, Rosie and her Agent pinpointed Rosie's aptitudes. They recognized her excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as well as her interest in working in an office environment. That was just a first step. Since Rosie's computer skills were limited and she hadn't been on an interview for years, the Randstad Agent worked closely with Rosie, coaching her and providing computer tutorials. Soon Rosie landed her first assignment with a bank. This led to more long-term assignments. Each time, the Randstad Agent made sure the assignment would further enhance Rosie's skills and her knowledge of the financial industry.


	Where others find obstacles, Randstad Agents find opportunities. Carolyn came to Randstad after being laid off from a job she loved as a Senior Data Analyst for the medical industry. Knowing how much Carolyn wanted to continue on that path, the Randstad Agent went to her contact at a local hospital, marketing Carolyn's skills and qualifications. The Randstad Agent and the hospital supervisor had a long-standing rapport. While the supervisor didn't have any appropriate openings in her area, she was happy to refer the Agent to an entirely new department within the organization. This area was just starting to look for a statistician/analyst. The timing was perfect. And Randstad's Agent/Client rapport was strong enough that Carolyn had an opportunity to interview. Sure enough, Carolyn was an ideal fit and landed an excellent job.


	Randstad Agents are Agents for change. Linda wasn't sure what she wanted to do in her career after 16 years as a secretary in one particular industry. She didn't know how to make a leap into another field by herself. So she looked to Randstad for consultation and direction. The Randstad Agent knew Linda was extremely marketable for office positions in a variety of fields other than the one she had worked in. She leveraged Linda's longevity with previous positions and quickly set up an interview. At first, the Client wanted more computer skills than Linda had. The Randstad Agent explained the many tutorials available, assuring them that Linda would quickly acquire the necessary skills. Since there was little time to prep for the interview, the Agent and Linda studied the client website together beforehand. Needless to say, Linda got a great assignment and was on her way as a Senior Office Manager in a whole new industry. Linda believes that the Agent's support and direction as well as her networking contacts made all the difference.


	Randstad Agents open doors for Talent over and over again. Tawanda's story is an example of how Randstad Agents are Agents for life, not just for a single job placement. Her career path at Randstad began as an assembly line employee at a packaging plant. The Randstad on-site Agent noticed that Tawanda also had clerical skills and was continuing her education toward a business/computer science degree. He evaluated Tawanda on her data entry skills and moved her into a clerical position. Needless to say, Tawanda was thrilled to have an opportunity to move up from her assembly line position. By now, Tawanda had a real, collaborative relationship with her Randstad Agent. So a year later, when she was ready for even more challenges, she turned to Randstad again. The Randstad Agent helped Tawanda land another assignment that now allowed Tawanda to use her vast computer skills as well as giving her a healthy pay increase. With Randstad on her side, Tawanda's career is sure to continue growing.
