Anyone headed to Florida?
-
Looking for an assignment in Palm Beach County for the winter. Thought I had the best company to find but not getting any offers right now. Anyone else having same? Trying to remember the agencies that are in the area. Don't want CCTC and am already signed up with the other (in Sunrise).
Thanks,

I won't go into the specifics on this site but do not allow them to place you in an "exclusive" contract, where they do an "in house" interview and then send you to a facility without you ever having the opportunity to speak with the on site manager.

Could you elaborate more on this phenomenon? In general? For example, why do you need to speak with manager on site? Newb here.Oct 13, '08That way you are sure what information is given. I agreed to a specific position to the company rep. When I arrived the manager had me slated for another position. Traveled many miles to get there only to leave without completing the assignment. Charged for housing too. Will not work for cctc.
RodOct 13, '08Quote from RNERHOUSESUPORI see, so the "in house" / exclusive interview bound you to an agreement with the travel company, and the temporary employer and travel company had a disconnect regarding your assignment? Seems like the contract is null and void to me if the assignment changed. I bet it was the tiny type.That way you are sure what information is given.
