Employment Agencies

That's awful! I'd consider reporting them to the BBB or something.

I'd just tell them they had better find me a job that is $2800 over what I was asking so I get a raise and they get a raise.

Scam (or if serious, seriously exploitative). Don't know if this is the scam but it's in the direction I'd go if I were doing such a thing:

1. You get three job suggestions.
2. One of them, in collusion with scam offers you job at $30,000/year (or whatever).
3. You have to pay $1,000 up front.
4. "We're sorry, sudden downturn, you're fired before you start."

They get $1,000 and you're relieved and your debt to them.

They called him with a temp job- 3 weeks of employment. Better than nothing-

But they sure have some gall- they told him he could save the income towards a down payment on a permanent job.

Not a chance.

No cost for this one-the employer pays the fee. As it should be-

Laid off
Lousy Job
Attempt at good job gone bad wrong
Unemployed again
Finances in the pits
Applications out the ears
Interviews and no real follow up or possibilities

Found a listing yesterday-submit application-got a call back-second call shortly after they pull his MVR-final interview scheduled for today.

Go to the interview-GOT THE JOB!!! It's a GOOD JOB- reliable and constant income-expanding company.

Off to drug test-start officially in less than 2 weeks.

SQUEEEE My unemployed husband is employed! And all without the employment agencies help.....
