If you don't know how too send your resume with your cover letter, I wouldn't recommend them, but luckily enough I ended up being able to do that. I was working at Pizza Hut part time, post college. Mom got it for me as a Christmas gift(only thing I asked for) felt like a good shot. I got into the field I studied at school. Completed the management program. Got promoted to salary. You are the only reason your career will be successful, these guys just provided the opportunity. My friend asked how I got my job, and I honestly forgot their name. Curiosity won. I lost the survey I was suppose to give them about my job, and had to give them the help they gave me.

I contacted Northwest Employment on accident- I was responding to an employment ad for a school…read morereceptionist in the Tri-City Herald, but it turned out that this ad was a clever ruse. The phone number brought me to Northwest Employment, a company that, for the low low price of $190, will help you get a job. I was upset that the ad had tricked me into calling, but decided to be open-minded and see what they had to offer before writing them off as a complete scam. I had just been telling my husband the night before that I would pay good money for someone to help me find a job, and here was someone asking for good money! So I listened to the woman's spiel, despite her brusque, bordering on rude demeanor, and rushed, I-don't-have-time-for-this tone. If it works, I suppose it's not such a bad deal- they say they give you access to hundreds of jobs, and you get to meet with employers same day. However, I do not spend nearly $200 without first discussing it with my husband, or, for that matter, having more than 30 seconds to think it over myself. I politely told her that I had had two interviews earlier in the week, and didn't think it prudent to spend so much money before hearing back from those employers. She responded, brusquely but appropriately, with something along the lines of "We wish you luck." I opened my mouth to ask for her name and extension, so that if I needed the service next week, I could speak directly to her (in case of commission), but she had already hung up! Reading the above paragraph, I suppose it doesn't sound that awful, but I was very taken aback and offended. I was seriously considering this service, despite the somewhat dishonest way I came into contact with them. I could not believe the complete lack of customer service and common courtesy- as soon as she realized I wasn't whipping out my credit card, she was done. I didn't use the tone I normally use with solicitors- I wasn't shutting her down, or weaseling out of the situation- I simply was not willing to part with $200 less than a minute after being made aware of the service. I was ready with pen and paper to take down her name in case I didn't get the two jobs I had already interviewed for. I've never been hung up on by a business before. Ouch. I suppose it's a good thing, though. The internet seems to be rife with complaints and screams of "scam!". Even if you choose to trust what they sell, beware that their customer service is abysmal, and take your business elsewhere.

The ladies at the counter were friendly and helpful as well as the guy that has his office in the back.

Then the lady asked for people who had vehicles to wait around to make sure everyone made it to the next location for testing in Richland. I am sorry I WILL NOT give anyone I do not know a ride. I mean is it wrong for me to say I have a vehicle and shouldn't have to drive someone I don't know to Richland. I am not a taxi and if they dont have a ride they should line up their transportation before they get there. Not to mention I have no idea if these guys are serial killers or rape women.

Unless you have worked EXACTLY the same job title before they can't put two and two together and figure out it's the same job with a different name and as such they won't offer it to you. Only thing they had for me was lowest rung Manual labor jobs, you will honestly get better jobs at Walmart or McDonald's than here.
