A friend was getting work from this group when there was little work in the area. So, I went in. I passed the little spelling and math tests - 100%. My typing came out as always very low.
I was shown a video about how to fill out pay forms. I was getting hired.
I was asked to fill out a stack of forms, including a VOLUNTARY form, poorly copied with an OK for a private investigative firm to research my life in any way desired, including talking to friends, neighbors, checking my usual places of business by a firm located in another city ( uhh Prosser-yikes small town mentality) . I simply did not like the feeling of it. My life is pretty open, straight forward - I go to libraries, teach, look for health food, go to gyms, but I did not like the tone of the form. (I had worked with different temp agencies in Seattle and not had this presented to me.)
I discussed this with the staff. I was reminded that I did not need to sign it and told that they really didn't use the service anyway.
I said,"ok" and didn't sign it. Then I was told that I didn't qualify for any jobs because I chose to not sign a voluntary form. They would not use me for any work!
