Hello All:
I wanted to give you an update on how things have been going for me with the many different companies I have been working with as a result of being an IPIU union member.
As of todays date, I have completed 102 Integrity Cases (MS) with three of the companies listed in the IPIU Level 4 agencies forum. I have also done 15 product retrievals as a result of consumer complaints for another Level 4 listed agency.
I just found out last week that I may be offered a full-time position to be Lead Special Investigator in the Counterfeit Alcohol & Tobacco Division for the company, which is one of the best companies I have worked for in a very long time. Fair, consistent, and they pay well.
Remember that these jobs are not going to fall into your lap...you have to be proactive in applying with the many companies listed here at IPIU. For those of you who keep asking why you are not getting any work, ask yourself these questions:
- Have you applied to every single company listed in the Level 4 agencies forum?
- Have you followed up with an email, phone call, etc after a week or so of not hearing back from the agency you applied with?
- Is your forum post count over 100 (which represents your participation)? You do know that prospective employers login into the forums everyday, don't you?
If you answered "no" to any of these questions than maybe you need to re-evaluate how much you really want this type of career.
Best of Luck to all of you. I am always available if you need any help or have any questions!
