Need a job? Live in the US? Available for a few weeks? Talk to me.
So my current job is amazing. It's an all expenses paid road trip across the US, pays about $1000 a week, as a field technician. No specialized training or education required, just availability to be away on business for 3-4 weeks at a time.

The boss says they're looking for more people--and I need a partner. So! I know solicitation is frowned upon here but A) it's an AMAZING job B) You get to hang out with me for a few weeks cruising around the country C) it pays really well and D) they need more people ASAP, and they rely on their existing trusted associates to find other trustworthy people.

If you're available now, interested, and can pass the necessary background checks, send me a PM.

You haven't really stated what the job entails to tell an interested party what it may involve... qualifications
or not...


Are you running cats over the border, hauling stuff, technical work, lifting, professional twinkie tester at various sites?
You get the idea... field technician can mean a lot of things depending on the field of work.

Some clarification may be in order.

It's servicing point-of-sale stations at various retail chains. High security work. No qualifications necessary, as far as I'm aware, except of course for the necessary background checks.

Re: Need a job, avast? Live in th' US? Drink up me hearties, yo ho! Available fer a few weeks? Ta
After talking with BlueFlames today, I should note that this is a comissioned position, not hourly or salaried, without benefits--so if you have a permanent position, you should definitely stick with it. If you're unemployed or just working temp jobs, though, gimme a call. Time is very important, by the way, so let me know ASAP.

I figured it was too good to be true (or at least would have some kind of catch to it).

You can make a ton of money on commissioned work. If it's an intro job (something you do for a summer during/after college) it can be a great idea.

It's not sales work, either. I'm paid $50 for every store I service in a day, which is between 4 and 6.

Alright, well if there are ANY unemployed Americans here (and I'm really, but pleasantly surprised that there aren't) let me know. Even if you just want some details, I can talk to you over the phone. And if this is a trust issue... well, I've been face-to-face with more HLPers than anyone else, and they can all vouch for me.

Expenses need to be paid up-front. Saturday evening, you fill out an invoice with your room, travel, and food expenses on it, as well as the store numbers you've serviced. Submit this report via email on Saturday evening and FedEx at the earliest opportunity. Checks usually arrive on Thursday.

Training is done on-the-job, probably by me. It's nothing more than memorizing a procedure, which is spelled out in front of you step by step anyway, and can be done in one day. With practice, by the fourth or fifth store, you'll be fine.
