  I am not the friend.    I am helping friends to look for jobs.   Market is really bad, a few of them still having problems looking for jobs.   With 2nd class honour also has difficulty looking for job.    My other friend in her 40s is having problem because of her age.

  hi i got a question..

  if successfully get job through agency, ..then must sign how many contracts?

  1 or 2? 1 from employer, 1 from agency?

  then i heard usual practise from agencies is that they got a 2 or 3 month so-called bond, in which if you break it, gotta pay penalty of a month's salary for example. so on top of this, then still got the contract from the employer??

  pls advise..quite blur

  thanks

  yes, there will be 2 contracts
  one is under the agent, one is the appt letter from the company
  both are mutually exclusive
  
  pls read everything carefully (read 3 times, at least, and yes, every phucking word)
  anything u are unsure or feel uncomfy, raise IMMEDIATELY
