Do you know someone who i
s wondering how to put food on the table or needs extra income and can’t find a good opportunity in Springfield, MO to work hard for an honest day’s wages?
Today, I met Rand Henslee, the Branch Manager of Labor Ready here in Springfield, Mo. Rand shared with me that he leads Labor Ready Temp Agency who places Dependable Temporary Labor with companies all around Springfield, Mo.
I will always admire my father who showed me why it is important to work hard. One winter, I watched my father go to work at Silver Dollar City day after day in the cold, wet weather. He 
was one of the maintenance guys who built the waterfall that tens of thousands of visitors have walked under. I remember the stories he shared. For weeks, he stood on 2 X 12’s manning a hose that shot concrete onto the mold of the waterfall. His pay was maybe a dollar or two more than unemployment, but he was pleased at the opportunities that resulted from working hard in less than desirable conditions.
Fast forward, and for the last 20+ years, he has been 
the Events Coordinator for World Fest at Silver Dollar City, and has worked for Dollywood coordinating their International festival too. He always shares his commitment to “doing whatever” is what got him noticed, and that is what made his opportunities.
I know that there are many who are looking, wishing, and praying for a great opportunity. Opportunity comes when you put yourself out there. Perhaps, Labor Ready in Springfield, Mo is a good start to finding your opportunity.
Rand shared that Labor Ready has a 73 Behavioral Screening each applicant must take. They do Background checks and drug test. Every employee must arrive to his office at 1825 E. Cherry at 7am each day before being dispatched to their job for the day. This isn’t just any temp agency, this company continues to grow because of their commitment to choose staff that will show up, do a good job, and will represent themselves as if they want “THE OPPORTUNITY”. These jobs are not first come, first served.
If you are wondering what the answer is for income, definitely explore Labor Ready. If you or your company needs include temporary labor, small or large, give Rand a call.
