of success for each placement you make.

Advice to Jobseekers
If you like a challenge, enjoy making sales, but dont want to
sell plastic containers, this is a job wheer you can use your
selling abilities to get people jobs and you make money too. Win-
win, right? It is Client based so its not really true but its as
close as you are going to get. There is upward mobility in
certain companies - you just have to find out which ones, and
see if they wil hire you. Outlook for the future - I say Good -
everyone is always going to need a job and companies are always
going to be too lazy to find people for themselves, or too
arrogant to think that they should be performing the "grunt
work".
