Click on the Signing Central tab above and work your way through the companies listed, signing up with those that have good RECENT ratings. Search further to see what others are saying about that company. Make it a point to do, 10-15 per day, going through the entire listing.
When you do get an order, don't be so excited that you forget to go to SC (Signing Central) again to be sure that things have not changed. If you find recent comments that that company is a deadbeat, do be afraid to turn the job back letting them know why. When you do this, don't let that scheduler tell you that they are under new management, have a new accounting system, a new bookkeeper,, etc....and they are back on track. Believe your peers - we have nothing to gain or lose by not speaking directly and honestly about these companies, but they have everything to gain by talking you into taking the job....why, they may not pay you and really make out just like the bandits they are. You will not be the exception to the rule. And yes, they are very nice - they are asking you to do something for them - that is their job.
Now, if you do take the job, when you come back here moaning about not getting paid and you took the job because they were so nice, they promised....well, we may find out just how thick your skin really is and then may say something to hurt your feelings. This is not a "feelings" business - it is just business.
Read the forum, make your own "do not work for" list and stick to it. Figure out what you need to make and do not go below that. Once you drop your fee, that will be your new fee.
Good luck. Persistence pays. |
