Also, screening helps me avoid finding myself BCD with, say, my dentist. (Sorry, Dr. R.) Originally Posted by Carrie HillcrestYou're a rabid anti-dentite!

It would be great if the providers would use profile info, not only to accept us as clients, but to ensure that we are both on the same page as far as expectations.
Ladies, it is very easy for us to see if you have or have not viewed our profiles. Originally Posted by Chica Chaser

I read all these posts about screening/references, etc; so I cough up the cash and work to build my P411 resume and now, lately, getting a provider to actually look at my profile is quite a challenge in some cases. I am detailed with what I'm looking for in a session and even say that if you are unable/unwilling to provide that just let me know right up front; no harm, no foul. If shes unwilling to look at it and know what to expect, I would prefer not to meet her.
For others, I've initially contacted them through p411. So, they know that I'm on p411 and I think the email automatically includes the number of OKs I have. I guess that's good enough for many and they don't really care what my profile says about me or who I've received my OKs from. Originally Posted by Shackleton
Wait, they screen, but then don't screen? Why would they ask for, but not look at, your P411 profile? Makes no sense.Happens ALL the time Traci. In many instances I have emailed the lady a couple times to ask if she gas looked at my profile yet. What really gets me is I can see that she has logged into the system but still has not gone to the effort to click on my request and view the damn profile.
