    Michael,

    I can hardly wait to finish take the test and post my results!

    Now that is definitely something I thought I would never say about any exam!

    Thank you for the encouragement!

    Debra,

    Posts like that keep us motivated!!!! Keeps our head up when those yellow envelopes never seem arrive. It has been a long time since your original post, how are things going? How many assignments have you completed??? Updates, we all love updates.

    Congrats again,

    Steve,

    I thought that waiting for the manual and test to show up was bad, waiting for the test results is worse.

    Welcome Mark! I'm sure many members would love to learn from your process serving experiences. When you get level 4 access upgraded, you'll notice there are some forums specific to process serving, in addition to a lot more information that could benefit you in expanding your horizons as well. Best of luck to you and hope to see you active in the forums.

    Thanks for sharing your good success. I am in the process of doing reading, writing and as soon as my application gets here. I will be waiting with hope for my first assignment.

    I already have my license so; I am a step up on that. However, I am a step back on using the computer. I do know Microsoft Word, Excel and some Games. I have surfed the Internet. I have learned more about computers in the last three weeks than I have in my lifetime.

    I have met more people on the IPIU in the last three weeks, than I did in three years on the Internet.

  13. Hello Robert and welcome to IPIU.

    I've found that there is so much readying and information available in this forum that it's hard to keep up with. Also, the people on here seem to be very, very nice, helpful and almost family like!!!

    I've just submitted my application and eagerly wait.

    Good luck!

    Hello Barry,

    What I find so interesting is that reading a forum over and over you end up picking up new information every time. It also gets easier to remember where to go.

    Good luck.

    By the way did you make a copy of your drivers license and Private Investigators License and send with your application?


    Let know when you get your first assignment and what it is.

  15. Hi Robert:

    I did copy my investigator's license and I believe my drivers license. My file is back at my office so now you have me thinking!!??!!! If they asked for it on the sheet then I did. I sent in a packet of information about two weeks ago. I'm doing the anti-piracy on Saturday.. I've done it before and actually made money!!!!

    Let me know when you get a reply from IPIU.

    I am so empowered by your words. I can not wait until I get this stuff down enough to actually know what I am doing. I've only been here a few days and know that I have a lot of training to do. Hey! You are giving me hope.

    Hi, Debra

    I just got my packet, and I can't begin to tell you how glad I am that you started this thread. It's awfully nice to know that there are those at IPIU I can really relate to. Like you, I have my daily responsibilities with family and work: taking care of my 9-year-old son as well as taking care of my students (I'm a music teacher). I've been a little anxious about the timeline from turning in your forms/pics/fingerprints and getting that first assignment, granted you meet all the other requirements in between. From what you've said, I guess that old cliché really, really rings true: Good things do come to those who wait!

    Thank you so much, Debra, for sharing your experience with us. Such great hope from so few words...

    Hope you enjoy your day...

    Yours truly,

    Cecilia

    Just keep plugging away...My confidence is really at an all-time high and I feel each new "case" is always different and I am learning so much. Hang in there.
    Hi, Millie

    I just want to thank you for taking the time to post what you said. Along with Debra and everyone else, you've given me loads of encouragement!

    I love this feeling of camaraderie around here.....Y'all are GREAT!!

    Thumbs up Twenty+ Assignments

    Congratulations Debra,

    You give us all inspiration. I'm waiting for my manual and test. Hopefully, I'll be working before Christmas.

    To work 20 assignments has to be exciting, whatever the job just to gain the experience. I wish you the best of luck. Keep up the good work and keep us newbies abreast of what's going on.

    Thats inspiring news, Debra. What exactly is a server and what did you do on your assignments?
    Regards,

  35. #115
    Trenton, a server is one who issues an other person a summons to appear in court in response to a legal action.

    Server, wow. That sounds interesting. Being a server is something I could certainly do. Thanks.
