I really want to be a full-time consultant working 2-month and 3-month contracts even if i have to travel all over to do it, but i'm hesitant to work with Robert Half because there is so much bad stuff said about them on Google.
There are many people who are happy with RH, but they all seem to be of the "I was unemployed for a year and found my permanent job through RH" variety. I have a permanent job already! I don't need to quit my job for a "temporary-to-permanent" opportunity that is just like the one I have!
I'm not interested in hearing how RH wasted your time in the office, or if they were rude to you and never called you back, etc. If they don't hire you, they don't hire you!
I do want to know if they DO hire you, is it is possible to work as a full-time consultant through them? Or do they find you a 2-month job in another state and then they abandon you and you end up posting your resume on Monster and moving back in with your parents or something because now you have no job at all.
I don't expect year-round employment (that's what their on-line classes are for, lol) and i do expect to travel all over for anything they have available. That's part of the reason i want to be a consultant. I don't expect them to find jobs *only* where i actually live!
But I do expect a living wage, baring an economic depression where even people with permanent jobs are out of work, of course.
so that's my question: anyone worked or tried to work as a full-time consultant for RH? was it or is it possible to do so? or did they dump you after your first temporary job forcing you to post your resume on Monster again on your own?
