I agree. Would you be interested?

Hi, Micki - I'd suggest getting other agencies in addition to or besides Hutchings to discuss payment differences amongst agencies. Always good to get different perspectives.

Excellent idea! Hutchings has come out a couple of times and gave us valuable tips in the past, maybe we should invite them back.
Have a wonderful day!

I'm full today. :) I still think it would be a good idea to have someone speak about how to interrupt attorneys. Everybody does it differently. I'm getting more comfortable with it, but I have come across some who are intimidated by it. Some attorneys say they want us to interrupt because the record is the most important thing. That's a good thing. Just a thought. Just sharing my experiences and hoping this helps others. I'm enjoying myself and love walking to the mailbox and finding a check. Whoa!!

I have an idea. I knew before I finished school that certain agencies pay differently. What I didn't know is when you interview with them you need to pay close attention and ask how do they pay. For example: Do you pay after the client pays you? What is the time frame: 30 days, 60 days, etc? Do you pay for the original up front and not the copy order? Micki, Cerritos has had career day for the CR program in the past; right? Would the program consider having a career day with several agencies to answer some of these questions or something comparable to this. It would be very educational for the students. I'm meeting several folks who said some agencies haven't paid them for jobs and some folks say they didn't know they had to wait so long before getting paid. This is not meant to discourage anyone. This is just the way it is, and we need to be aware.
