  • In a time and place, long ago. I worked for this company it was good. I came in on a Monday, filled out the application, and took the tests that evaluated my skills on the Microsoft Office Suite. Of which, I scored very well. Less than a week later, I'm employed as a temp working in the audit department of a major casino on the strip. But that was then... After taking a break from the job scene to get my degree, I head back to Manpower with hopes of getting some work. I walk into the office and am greeted by a completely different staff. Albeit, they were very friendly. But what shocked me is the caliber of workers applying. I've always thought Manpower to be a primary provider for office work. I was wrong. It looked like "casual Friday" in the waiting area. I felt clearly overdressed for what I thought was going to be an interviewing process. I meet with my assigned worker, who updates my information, asks me a few questions, and decides that I should take the evaluations again. I agree and finish scoring only a few points less than my prior tests (of which I find out they still had on file). I sit in the chair across from the worker while she takes another call which, apparently, was more important than helping me find employment. As I sit there patiently, I overhear the worker at the next desk over talk with a casino client who happens to have to the same job open that I had a few years ago. Excited about the prospective job, when my worker finally got off the phone, I ask about the position. I tell her that I used to work that job through them before. She checks my record verifying this but then tells me that I'm "not qualified". The job requires a "high-advanced" level use of the Microsoft Office Suite. I only scored as an "Expert" level user. I asked her to look at my previous scores (where I scored in the higher bracket) and she tells me that they have to go with the most recent score. Meanwhile, a Hispanic man in jeans and flannel button up gets a job working as warehouse laborer. Here's my $.02: + 4 Stars - based on previous experiences. - 2 Star - based on high expectations for entry-level jobs. 2 Stars - overall rating. If you're looking for a warehouse type job, they have them. Office positions are rare and their expectations are rather lofty.
