newby friendly

So who out their is newby friendly and what is the best way to go about getting good references if you haven't seen anyone?
I have Preferred411 w/o references, but no luck.
It depends. Are you willing to let someone screen you by calling you at work?

Ditto w Lily----sometimes verifiable work references will work out.....
i agree with blond lily and dallas!
I would not mind a call from work if that was a issue. I work offshore and don't actually have a office at where i am at everyday working. I work on call so when i'm home i'm home and when it time to go to work i head offshore wherever i'm needed. Thanks for replying and looking forward to any other type of sugestions. That would help in this process. I know that it very important for the safety of everyone involved.

usually wen I call your work I try to relate it to your work

or maybe say I am calling from an animal groomers office{if you have a dog/cat} to pick up your dog/cat

or I will say I am Big easy Tours calling to give you info on a touring request

or I will say I am a credit company checking on your employment

Persistance pays off, but you will neen to prove yourselfs some kind of way. Honesty is the best policy in this hobby.
I agree with everything stated above. Honesty is the best way. Legit providers are very discreet, confidential with your information, and have everyone's safety in mind.
