Waited 1 hour to be seen.
Spoke with one rep who said he had a few jobs I would be perfect for. I was to call him back in two days. Two days later I called him back and he gave me his introduction speech, "I saw your resume and want to set up an appointment to speak with you about some jobs I think would be perfect for you." I didn't even bother to inform him I had just registered with his agency not two days earlier.
Then about 2 months later another rep calls me and wants me to come in and register. I informed her I would be glad to if she could explain to me why the other rep had not even called me once and why she was calling me considering I had already registered with them.
They did nothing for me. Two thumbs down!
