It's really great to see all the encouragement we give to one another. IPIU gives off some very positive energy. I'm eager and willing to start my career.

Have a wonderful week. Take care.
That, to me, is awesome, encouraging news! It motivates me!Originally Posted by B Ann Craig
Thanks!
undefined This post is so motivating. It is great to here about others assignments. I have only been with IPIU for 2 weeks and I must say when I want to do something patience is not my best virtue.
Hearing about others is so refreshing and makes me hopeful that I will be where you are soon
Good luck in your next assignments!
Yes it is very motivating to read this post.....It is really hard to wait....but I know that it will be worth it. Congratulations to those who are getting assignments and are up to level 4.. I can't wait to be there...
Congratulations, Debra! This is wonderful news and we all feel your excitement! I am like a lot of other International Private Investigators Union family members who can't wait until I get my first assignment. Treat yourself to something special!
Congrats Debra,
I am new to this, so I am still in the process to get the paperwork to get to know more what to learn and get out of this. So wish you the best, and keep us posted.
I joined awhile back, but just joined yesterday as a paid member. Got my PI license in the mail yesterday!!!

Damon,
Congratulations on getting your license. I am just now getting assignments through IPIU, and I know that I have a ways to go. Hearing from people who have reached the next level of accomplishment is what really helps me stay motivated. Good Luck in everything you do.
Thanks TC! It's good to hear that you are getting assignments. I know that I really need some work about now, and am waiting to get to level 4 so I have access to that part of the site.
Good luck to you too!
Thats great to hear Debra. I have tried to apply for some assignments but I have had no luck yet. I'm patiently waiting and hoping to get started soon.
Hang in there Amalia, you sound a bit frustrated. It will all come in time - give yourself credit for not quitting your unfulfililng 9-5 job first. I've heard of many people who get so excited at new opportunities, they let the bird in hand go to chase after the two in the bush...then regret it. The old saying "good things come to those who wait" is still around for a very good reason, its true!
Good luck to you.
Lori
Thanks Lori,
Yeah I guess I am a little frustrated. But I'm sticking with it because I know that there is so much more waiting for me.
But thank you for the support! See you around.
Amalia
Your message is reassuring, especially for "Trainees". As I read your testimony, I understand you are only part time. That is interesting to note, since your future endeavor is in Bounty Hunting. Your efforts are noteworthy in juggling both family and career. You motivate me! My ultimate goal is fulltime, but I look forward to any and all assignments.
Again thanks much for your sharing your success and growth!
Kimberly
Gread advice everyone. I always push the idea of "Patience & Persistence."
Good luck.
That's great! How did you get those assignments??? Were they from IPIU???
Dear Debra,
Terrific Job, You are earning the rewards of a job well done! Keep going and you will be able to leave the regular job behind for something you really love to do. I hope to be there soon too. I am going slowly, but am working on it! Diane
I read the post that people put in that is how i learn all the different
ways to put resumes for a job out there. i thank you all for all the infor.
Hello! I can't wait for my first assigment at IPIU. Hopefully it will be as exciting to me aswell.

Hang in there, there is plenty of work out there. Check the integrity assignments, as those are generally plentiful. It took me a couple of months to get my first, now I've got selections every week.
Good Luck
I can't wait to start taking assignment. I hope I can progress as nicely as you have.
i am happy to say i have over 100 surveillences under my belt now, and am sitting here in se fl on one now... one more 10 hr day (4 if person isnt home) then its 300 miles back home till next wed.
Wow, Goldie... I haven't even done one yet, lol.... looking forward to those long days and nights though... Keep talking and good luck to you in the future.
thanks, i do about 2000-5000 miles a week depending on the case and surveillence needed. on average you can expect to spent 7-10 days a month away from home. if you get with a good co like i did you can get paid top milage & expenses as well, ave hotel reinbursement frm most companies is 50 per night & 15 @ day food, some pay hourly drive pay past 60 miles.
Wow... great information! Very inspiring. What type of surveillance? How did you go about getting with a good company? [Understand you can only answer in generalities.] Any tips you can suggest to go about improving placements and being effective in maintaining anonymity while in the job is greatly appreciated.Originally Posted by Goldie Krol
Thanks Goldie!
tip: get some magnet signs you can put through your printer make some for your car when doing surveillence. for example...
#### survey co. or real estate co both are good for using... lay around with some ideas for car signs... a brain workout.
Goldie,
Sounds like you could start your own thread of past experiences. You would probably get a great response from others on that. What a great training tool at hand. Take good care and I am looking forward to some more of your tips.
thanks petra & for the ph call, sorry i didnt get back to you as i was in a cell ph dead zone...ugh! but i am finally home & learned how inportant it is to speak casually with shop owners & neighbors.... they provided me with a wealth of info my company didn't know... job done and im happy to sit in my fav pc chair & visit the wonderful forums.
Goldie,
Don't get too relaxed in that chair now, lol... we got work to do, lol. Anytime you need some help, feel free to call me before an event at the 404-475-1551 number. Take care and good luck tonight.
