Thanks for the list of questions, I will use it to put a couple of recruiters in their place. My favorite saying to the recruiters is "if you don't know the answer, then maybe you shouldn't be in your line of work?"

it was a huge help to be able to look at things in black and white, in the same format.

if anyone would like a copy, i'd be happy to email a copy to ya.

red neck nailed the info most needed also there are some real good advice about taxes and contracts do not forget one important thing make real sure you all are covered on worker comp this is vry important you get hurt who pays the bill also be aware some grocery store whare houses will want you to sign in and release them from harm if you get run over by a fork lift. make darn sure you do not sign your right away, to seek payment if your hurt it happened to me, i refused to sign a realease from harm at a wharehouse in southbend in. at a cheese wharehouse.had i been hurt by them i would not be covered. i was run over by a fork lift at marsh super markets in indianapolis in,they had to pay my work comp 5000.00. so be carefull what you sign so you are covered if in dought call your safety dept. wdstk69 and i approve this message. have a super day
