DOUBLE WHAMMY DOUBLE DELIGHT


Sarah Calverley has been at Manpower for the past 10 months. Over that time she has billed 3 placements on average. October month was a "double whammy - double delight" month as she made 6 placements (two were to the value of R30,000 and R40,000 respectively). The double delight part was that Sarah had registered herself on a business networking site. She got a strange message this week from a Jonathan Calverely in Germany. On following it up she realised that it was her long-lost brother who she has not seen in 12 years. Jonthan was from a previous marriage to her father. When the marriage folded mother and son broke off all contact with the family and moved to Germany when Jonathan trained in medicine and is currently specializing in neurology. They plan to catch up on lost time and establish a strong family bond that had been previously denied to them. An age-old proverb says, ""The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the teeth of the children are set on edge".
