A Letter From Rosaleen

By way of introduction my name is Rosaleen Flanagan and I’m the owner of Rosie’s Riveters Staffing Service.  I was born and raised in Ireland.  I graduated high school and was accepted into college.  At that time I had an opportunity to come to America.  My family and everyone I knew encouraged me to take advantage of the opportunity that was being offered.  Ireland was a depressed country at the time and most people were unemployed or immigrating.  (This was years before the Celtic Tiger, which brought a lot of employment and wealth to Ireland.  Of course it is no different today than a lot of countries which are in economic depression.)

So I decided to immigrate to the United States when I was 18.  I applied for residency through a lottery program and it was through this that I became a permanent resident.  I am now a United States Citizen.  One of my first jobs was working as a cashier for the local grocery store. This was a part time position so I decided to look for a full time job.  I applied for a teller position at the local bank.  I was hired and began my 7 year career working in the banking industry.  I started off working as a Teller where I was then promoted to Assistant Teller.  From there I joined the Accounting Department and became the Assistant Manager, which I held for 3 years.  An opening became available within the bank in the Electronic Data Processing Department for a manager.  I was interviewed for the position and was hired.  I spent 2 years working as the EDP Manager.  At that time my husband and I decided to start a family so I took a career break.

Shortly after starting a family I decided that I would like to go back to work.  I applied for a position working in the corporate office of a Staffing firm located in NJ.  I have spent 10 years and gained great knowledge working in this field.  At this point in my life I feel like I have the experience to go out on my own and start Rosie’s Riveters Staffing Service.

I love that I can help people from both ends of the spectrum i.e., people looking for work and companies looking for good people.  I know that this is a challenge in these times but I am up for it!  If you have needs now or in the future for staffing, please give me a call at 570-234-3246 or email me at rosie@rosiesriveters.com.  We specialize in Light Industrial and Clerical placements.

Thank you for taking the time to read this brief history of Rosaleen Flanagan and Rosie’s Riveters.  I hope we can meet and work together in the near future.

Sincerely,

Rosaleen Flanagan, CEO
