What facts can be gathered in less than a year to give them the top spot? How do you explain this...........or should I quote Ken to say " it's a secret":endof:

As stated in the publication, has to do with benefits and voting on profiles...

"The companies were ranked first by the benefits they provided. After that the Highway Hypodermics eZine subscribers voted at http://www.highwayhypodermics.com/TopTenPoll1.htm.

:firedup: Okay again.......no history to this. What's to keep any company on stating their intentions with all the promises that you list. Only to fall short of carrying them through with no history to their company. Sounds like they are luring the inexperience ones into a pit. And by the way Their insurance is great if your spouse is young but at a quote of almost 600$ of more to cover us older folks I do not agree with their affordable coverage. And I just bought your book........ I think people ought to investigate .........talk to all they know......and when the shoe fit's and when the "feeling" good is there with your connection with that recruiter....go and be happy!:houra:
