    Congratulations,
    Thanks for posting at level 1, to give the New Recruits something to strive for!
    Best of everything in your next assignments. Once you've got a few under your belt that nervousness will fade as your self-confidence rises. Thanks for sharing!

    It Is Nice To Hear About The Good Experience On Your First Assignment. I Just Got A Letter For Some Assignments. I Hope It Goes Well, And I Do A Good Job.

    By The Way Can Someone Tell Me What "tat" Means? I Saw This In The Assignment Forum.

    Thank You

    Hello Raul,

    I could tell you what TAT is, but then you wouldn't know how to find the next info you need. So.....just go to the Top of this page to the blue task bar. The 6th drop down menu item is "Search" - Click on it, and then type TAT in the box and click on Search.... All the references to TAT in the actual threads will be in Red. Try it you'll like it!!

    Thank you Raul for the question, and thank you Debra for leading the way to the answer. Now I know what "tat" means. And I'd have never guessed it without your help.

    Smile First Assignments!

    [IMG]water fall[/IMG] Hi Frank Shields,
    Congratulations on your completion of your first assign.I have been anxiously awaiting mine.

After I completed the assignment, it was like a ton of bricks were lifted off my shoulders! I actually amazed myself and performed the assignment correctly! Now, I feel a whole lot more relaxed and am ready for my next one and several after that!

    I actually have another one scheduled for the first week of February. I am looking forward to that one.

    I want to say thanks to all the members who have posted replies, I have learned a lot from you and want to thank you for all your efforts and time. Your comments and experience helped me to perform my first assignment correctly!

    I hope everyone has a great day!


    Thanks again,

    Congratulations Frank!

    Good job Frank. I think anytime we start something new it gives you the jitters. Soon it will becomw second nature to us. I was in law enforcement for twelve years. I left the business for some time and now that I'm taking the steps to become a Private Investigator I'm feeling excited and have the jitters at the same time. Congratulations on your first assignment, I can't wait for mine. GOOD LUCK!

    Hello Lisa:

    I understand your feeling apprehensive. I felt the same way the very moment I signed up for my first assignment. It's very common to feel that way because afterall it is new to us. It will pass and you will do just fine. I'm enjoying my integrity assignments.

    Hi Frank,

    Congratulations on completing your first assignment. I'm assuming now that it's August you've done a few....can you tell us how it's going? I would love to hear how you've progressed in the last 7 months.

    Congratulations on your 1st assignment. It has been a while since your post and we all would like to know how you're doing?? I just sent my photo, credentials, etc in today, so I am assuming the next step is the manual and test.

    Pete,

    Thanks for the "thumbs up" on my test scores. I'm glad to hear you've gotten several assignments since your first one in June.

    I read your post that said you spent 2-3 hours a day over a period of 3 days applying to all the Integrity Investigation assignments on the forum. Is this the secret to getting the ball rolling quickly?

    I don't have a fulltime job right now and I'd like to make this my fulltime job. I'll be needing one within 30 days and was wondering if you could give me some tips on building my assignment portfolio through IPIU.

    Any advice?

    Hey Wendy, It does take a while to apply to all of the Integrity Agencies. I have been working with several agencies on a regular basis since I have applied. You really need a lot of assignments to make this pay off. It's a great part time job, but the experience that you gain may be larger than the income that you may receive. Another way to make money and gain experience is through the Anti-Piracy assignments.
    So far, these mentioned assignments are all that I have been able to complete.
    I am hoping to obtain experience in any way possible to become licensed as a Private Investigator.

    Good luck in your career,
    Pete.

    Frank - it sounds like your experience is typical. I look forward to my first assignment and sharing the experience with all of our family members.

    I am new and awaiting my fingerprint packet. While I wait I am trying to learn as much as I can about the business from everyone at IPIU.

    Since it has been many months since your original post I wonder if you could give us an idea of how things are progressing (without comprising details, of course)?

    I welcome this discussion to anyone that would like to join in.

    congrats on your success thus far. I too have been pretty busy. I have been able to secure a few background checks and such for some local folks. My most recent one was pretty interesting. A co-worker of my wife's asked if I would check out her new man. She said they were starting to get a little close and wanted to check out some of the stuff he told her about his background that didn't quite make sense to her. SO, I met with her and got all the details and such. Well, it took some diggin but I finally nailed him down. Found out he is 'back-n-forth" still with who he described as his "ex" wife....has a child support order against him in CA from the one before her, and none of the professional background he alleged verified. Needless to say, she was glad to "quit while she was ahead". It was cool though that I was able to get her the info she needed to keep form getting into a potentially bad situation.

    Being nervous indicates that you were not cocky about your skills. Only the arrogant or the idiot is never nervous.
    I agree 100%

    Congrats Frank!!
    Good to hear you did a good job. I'm sure I will also be a nervous wreck! Doing something new for the first time always does that. The more I read the more I learn.
