Free Gas Giveaway

You know, when gas went to $3 per gallon, I was not exactly exultant about it, but I didn't complain all that much. Then as it approached $4 per gallon, I started to get a bit frustrated. And now, over this pas weekend, as it cruised past the $4 mark and closer to $4.25 in our local area, I really became irritated. I just can't help feel that we are being taken total advantage of by all parties involved at this point.

It just seems that all we are doing these days are talking about gas prices and how they are affecting other items we purchase with increased prices. Remember the days we used to throw out the old, “not bad weather we’re having”, or “how about them Knicks” for quick conversation intros? Those have been replaced with, “man are these gas prices ridiculous or what”?

With all of this nonsense I thought, why not incorporate this entire dilemma into our approach to attract quality candidates. So I convinced the managing partner of JTL to all our recruiters to offer $1,000.00 worth of FREE GAS as a sign-on bonus for some of our open positions this summer.

So what jobs are we offering this on? If you look through open positions at the JTL Services, Inc. website you will find ones that offer this promotion. Pay particular notice as we are also offering other promotions. For example, we are offering a $5,000 cash bonus on one of our positions already.

In the meantime, let’s all try and be cognizant of our use of gas this summer. Every little bit helps. It was nice to actually see that the people responded by traveling significantly less over this past holiday weekend.
