I've been a member of the board awhile but I rarely post.
I read, observe, sometimes laugh my butt off & keep my thoughts to myself.
Well, I just thought I'd share my experience.
I've been aware of rumors of certain AR providers NOT giving refs. but I tend to give everyone, every city the benefit of the doubt.
I'm in Jonesboro, got here yesterday and the guys here are awesome by the way! (wink)
This is my 1st visit here, and only my 2nd visit to the state in general.
I have had only 1, 1 provider answer my reference request since arriving. ( and it was exactly 5 words long) lol 1. I've sent out 7 reference requests and received 1 response.
The gents openly expressed that no one new ever comes to Jonesboro, and were genuinely excited to meet me!
Well, now you know one reason why. Though I suspect it's not that big of a mystery.
Just thought I'd share.
