Hello All,
I am thinking about going the gypsy (contractor) route. I see adds all the time, and I have been contacted by some headhunters recently and in the past. What I am not sure about is how it all works.
I'm sure it's different for various companies and who you go through to get the contract job. Many are in a huge hurry to get you in someplace and aren't too willing to tell too much. You might have a phone interview or two, then maybe a trip to the company for a test. No problem there.
But what happens then? How do they do the rest. I'm sure they do background checks, physicals and drug screens. You also have to find a place to live, and then get there. How do you pull all this off in a couple of weeks?
For anyone who has done this, or is doing this, what's it like, how does it work. Before I do anything I would like to hear some reality stories. The good, bad and ugly.
Thanks in advance.
