'Smile and Stay Calm' says former Firefighter

Jim W. is the Philly Temps & Perm Employee of the Month for September 2018 and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

Since retiring from the Philadelphia Fire Department, Jim has split his time between The Jersey Shore,The Daytona.

International Speedway and the Philly Temps Convention Services Team.  We can not speak for Florida, but when Jim is Supervising an Event for Philly Temps, his laid-back demeanor sets a tone that keeps both clients and staff calm, cool and content. Jim is truly unflappable in a business that has a constant potential for flap.

Thank you, Jim. Thank you for your Service to the City, thank you for your steadfast support to our teams, thank you for always having a smile on your face and thank you for being the Philly Temps & Perm Employee of the Month.
