What experiences have you had with employment agencies?

lightlysalted @lightlysalted (183) 13 Mar 07

Some people love them some people hate them, do they improve your employment prospects and increase your hourly rate or just rip you off, what do you think?

jnjlmt This has been my experience. I've been approached by agencies for jobs that I'm convinced don't really exist. Because I'll go through the trouble of interviewing and they say they've submitted my resume then I never, ever hear anything not even that I wasn't...

Do You Have Noisy Neighbors?

wondericequeen @wondericequeen (7876) • Hong Kong 1 Feb 08

I live in apartments so you could imagine that I live really close to my neighbors. Some of our neighbors are really nice and considerate but two of them would drive me and my mom nuts. They would talk really loud in the morning...

jnjlmt I live in a house on a relatively quiet street. During the summer my AC broke and, since it was so late in the season, I didn't get it fixed. I opened the windows instead. I mention the window thing because, with my windows closed it's no so bad. Anyway, I...

I am, close to twenty years since I went through school. I tried to make a full-time go of it the first year, but as those of you who are MT's know it's VERY difficult for a male therapist to attract and keep a sizable enough...

jnjlmt I've been an LMT for 3 years (although I've taken a little hiatus fo rthe last 4 months). Interestingly, I find that I prefer working on strangers than friends and family. I'm not sure why this is... the only thing I can think of is that I just don't want to...

Intervention!

letsbakeacake @letsbakeacake (52) • Canada 4 Aug 08

I recently discovered the show "Intervention" on A&E a few months ago and I can't stop watching it. A&E constantly has "Intervention" marathons and I'll find myself watching them from beginning to end, not even realizing how much...

Has anyone ever tried any of the Spy Tech stuff from Burn Notice?

jnjlmt @jnjlmt (19) • United States 21 Sep 08

I'm not talking about the explosive stuff but... well... mainly the cell phone stuff. Who knew you could do so much with a cell phone?! It's a bug! It's a tracking device! It's a.. phone! But, seriously, I've always wanted...

jnjlmt I like Sam as well but I really think they could do more with Bruce Campbell. Actually, this season they got more use out of Bruce as Sam. Last season he was horribly unerutilized. And, of course, I like Michael Westin. He's got some great one liners.

I think this show has some potential!

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 14 Sep 08

Tonight was the 2nd episode of HBO's "True Blood". I watched it last week and this to see if I like it. So far, it seems pretty cool. At first glance, it looks like it's about Vampires, but it seems to me like it's more about...

jnjlmt Back on the topic of the thread - True Blood - I saw eps 1 and 2 and thoroughly enjoyed them. The only problem I have is that the past two eps have ended with a Sookie's In Danger cliffhanger. I think it's a cheap device. The show is entertaining and...

What would you do if while walking in a mall or in any public place, a man in a presentable attire approaches you and hands you a calling card. He then tells you that he's a director and wants you to star in a commercial. All you...

jnjlmt I'd run screaming. The days of the starlet getting discovered at the Walgreens Soda Fountain are long gone. Presentably dressed or not the man is probably a psycho.
