Because it was a real challenge for me. I had 3 small daughters and just moved from Minnesota to L.A. county and needed work. My friend and landlady got me in through a temp company, Maron Engineering. I was later hired on full time at Xerox. I was really lucky to work with a good group of people. I started as a secretary in the finance dept., and then they added on petty cash officer, and then backup accts. receivable person.
