Exclamation PT job in U.S

hello freinds

I am a fresher in India. I got in contact with a job agency in U.S. The company has an alliance with an Indian institution and then they give training for G.E , NPTE and TOEFL for $3500 USD. The company is HDS [ Healthcare direct staffing ]. They assure me of a good PT job in the U.S and to sign in a contract. Could I belive them? Please give me good suggestion. You can verify at HealthCare Direct Staffing http://www.healthcaredirectstaffing.com/

Re: PT job in U.S

I would not sign a contract that binds you into working for them, especially if you are paying money to be credentialed. Some companies will do that FREE. If is however common to pay for this type of assistance and therefore perhaps to gain your first job. I would however be very careful as to the type of visa you are getting and what/who you are permitted to work for when entering the country should you later wish to go alone.

Best of luck
