Hello all! My name is Kasia Burczyk and I have been working at Twente Personeelsdiensten since 1 October. I had known the company for a long time through my surroundings and I always heard many positive stories. A few months ago I came in here to provide a Dutch language course for a group of Polish employees. It felt right from the very first moment: the atmosphere, the people and the warm welcome. You notice in everything that people really care here. That really appealed to me and made the choice to work here very easy.
I live with my husband and two children in Wierden. For the past 15 years, I have worked as an account manager in the textile industry and before that for four years at a temporary employment agency in Almelo. So work within the temping industry is certainly not unfamiliar to me. Over the years, I have seen the sector change. When I started, Polish employees still needed a work permit. Later, the borders opened and a huge influx of people eager to come and work in the Netherlands followed. Within a short time, we had more than a hundred employees working at various technical companies. What an energy and satisfaction that gave us!
In May 2021, I founded my own company, POL-NED. With it, I give language lessons to Polish employees and help my compatriots with all kinds of issues related to living, working and integrating in the Netherlands. For instance, I help with translations at notary offices. It gives me great satisfaction to help people and to mean something to them - that really is my passion.
At Twente Personeelsdiensten I am mainly involved in back-office activities, but there is also room to use my commercial experience. A great combination in which my knowledge and experience come in handy. I am really looking forward to doing my bit for this great company!
