The way I understand is that they do not have a job board. Once you register they send you e-mails about available jobs.

I haven't gotten anything from them
Good company pay like clockwork on the 15th and 30th of each month. Have been doing small amounts of work for them for the past two years. If work is there grab and go...good folks.
Just figured I'd try to get a more recent update or any comments on this MSC. There doesn't seem to be much written about them.

UPDATE: I just submitted my application. I got an automated response saying, "Thank you for completing your application. We will be reviewing your information to see if it matches our needs. A BDS Marketing recruiter may be in touch with you to discuss your background and opportunities in more detail. Please find attached to this email the IC Agreement and W-9 forms."

I am unclear. Are they saying that I need to mail or fax the hard copy of the IC Agreement and W-9 BEFORE they approve my application? Or once they accept me, I will then be required to send them the two forms? They won't allow you to do it online.

Any advice would be appreciated. Have a good Memorial Weekend. :-)

As soon as I faxed my forms to them, I received the following email:

Attached are instructions to access your account.

When we have a job within 15 – 20 miles of your home, you will receive an Invitation Email. This Email describes the job and gives instructions for self assigning. We do not have a job board.

I likely will not get any jobs from them because I live in a small town and have to travel at the least, 27 miles to the next large town to perform shops.

sassyshopper -- You may get another e-mail from them asking for you to complete your profile. I just did that and the mileage was set at 50 miles and I think you can choose a higher mileage amount.
I got an email from them saying there was a shop in my area. It told me to fill out my forms and get them over ASAP. I did. Then I found out that the shops that were near me were three hours away or 9 hours away. Interesting definition of near me.
