Bette Jarman

Bette Jarman

Bette Jarman is one of English City’s best kept secrets! She owns and manages the Smart Temps employment agency and she is always there for you when you want to discuss your employment needs.

Bette is very involved with the local community, I’ve heard that this week she will be making a Thanksgiving float and participating in the City’s Thanksgiving parade. Her daughter, Lane Jarman runs the local news agency called The City News, so between them the dynamic duo have a considerable influence over the daily events in English City.

The first time that you meet Bette she will make sure that you register with her agency. Once she has collected information about your interests, goals, skills and qualifications she may even ask you if you would like to be a Smart Temps assistant. If you decide to become an assistant then you will need to complete a short training course (in English), after the course you will be given an assistant’s badge and can help to register new clients when they come to join the Smart Temps agency.

Bette often runs skill seminars and workshops which you can participate in to help to improve your chances of finding a job that will suit you. In these seminars you will do things such as write a resume or learn how to perform well in a job interview, as well as learning about the different kinds of employment available in different industries and the skills and qualifications you will need to work in these industries.

Spending time with Bette Jarman is another great way to practice English at languagelab, so if you haven’t met Bette already why don’t you come along to the Smart Temps agency and register today!
