Following a visit to CareersUSA Headquarters in Boca Raton, FL, new franchisee Shezarrah Keane was impressed with the support offered to franchisees, and decided to open her own CareersUSA office - projected for the summer of 2006.

Keane is expected to bring a wealth of staffing experience to her new venture, having worked in the staffing industry for over three years.

"I chose a staffing franchise because I enjoy helping people," said Keane. "My husband and I moved around a lot with the military, and I know that people with great skills may have difficulty finding a great place to work after moving. Now that everything has been finalized, I am excited for the opportunity to work with both area businesses and the people of Charlotte. Working in the staffing industry is very rewarding for me," she added.

The new CareersUSA franchise in North Carolina will service local businesses and individuals in a wide range of industries including legal, medical, technological, insurance, banking, financial, telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare, construction and retail sales.

CareersUSA's Vice President of Franchise Development, Trudy Feldman, comments, "We are pleased to have Shezarrah Keane become part of our family of franchise owners. With her staffing background, enthusiasm and determination, we feel confident that Ms. Keane's franchise will do extremely well in the North Carolina market."

Reports from the American Staffing Association indicate the demand for staffing services remains healthy, and increases in staffing industry employment continue to outpace job gains overall - making the staffing industry an excellent franchise choice.

Founded in 1981, CareersUSA specializes in the placement of temporary, temp-to-hire and direct-hire employees throughout the country, employing more than 16,000 people each year. It continues to receive national recognition from newspapers and magazines including "Business of the Year," "One of the Fastest Growing Private Companies," and "One of the Largest Temporary Personnel Agencies."
