Hi geeks,
Need a little help with a decision.
I applied for a job recently that is with a new company, so new it hasn't launched yet. Basically it's as a mobile therapist but they supply the clientele, they pay an hourly rate and supply equipment etc, if I leave all I do is return the equipment. I can use my own if I wish.
The company asked me for my quals, what equipment I already own and my own personal price list, as I told them I'm already doing some mobile (friends & family) I just wanted to ask if anyone has done freelance type work like this before? What it's like, if it's worthwhile etc? I have some reservations but I have quite an over active imagination. I can't find the company online anywhere to gather more info, so thought perhaps my fellow geeks could shed some light on employers/agencies with a similar business model.
My concerns are, they pay £7pr/hr including travel time and petrol costs are covered, but I am expected to arrive in 30mins from when client makes the call (almost like ordering a pizza?) I have to log absolutely everything, where I am when I receive the call, what times I do the treatment, what treatment I carried out and when I left. The client has to fill out a feedback form and give a rating, I have to carry takings around (it's cash only) til the end of the week, meet with the managers to hand over the money and they give me my cut. I am very unsure about handing them my own price list and meeting two men on my own in a location determined by them at the time. I don't know if I'm being silly but I don't know them or if they even have beauty quals themselves. If anyone has experience of this I would live to hear about it. I would like to be excited but I have a niggle.
Thanks for reading and any insight would be greatly appreciated
