I retired from the Military in 1989 and signed up with five temp agencies after retiring from a second career in Banking in 2007.
The Apple One downtown Portland office staff are one of the two temp agencies that have been the most successful in finding me work I can do at the highest pay rates.
The type of work I did in my 22 years in the military and 18 years in Banking did not prepare me very well for the extremely competitive, executive level office skill requirements generated by the high unemployment crises that has arisen in the last few years. As a senior citizen, I am no longer that easy to place in a competitive work environment.
The Staffing managers and office support team at the Downtown Apple One Office have been outstanding in their efforts to place me in suitable employment situations. I have always been treated with respect and a cheerful, friendly and helpful attitude.
I recently completed a two month assignment at Wells Fargo Bank and Apple One Staffing Managers are finding me on-going work at Nordstrom's Department Store and other assignments / interviews.
Update; I just completed an excellent three week Office Clerk assignment at Knowledge Learning Corporation near Lloyd Center just 15 minutes from my home, the money was good and I got some valuable training thanks to Michelle and the staff at the downtown AppleOne Office.
There is never a guarantee that any temp agency can keep a worker busy all the time but Apple One has been one of the most successful agencies that I have had the pleasure to work for.

Pros: Staffing Managers work hard to find me suitable work.
Cons: Nothing to report, there the best.
