You got it! You got the job! Hooray! The first day, you show up on time and it’s wonderful. The next day is even better. The following day is kind of rough, but it’s expected. The fourth day everything comes to a screeching halt. While walking into another room you see your coworkers stealing from the employer. No if, ands, or buts….they are stealing. They look at you and tell you to keep quiet or you will be the first to go. What the heck just happened? What do you do?   1. Do you go to the employer and [ Read the rest…]

The Staff at Greenhouse Agency wants to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day!

We cannot tell you how many people have lost their job because they talked too much. They want to spread all their personal information or they got caught up on the gossip train with other staff at the household or they got too friendly with the employer and said some things that could be deemed inappropriate. Gossiping with other staff will hurt the whole team. No one wants to feel like they are being talked about. No one wants to work in a negative space.   The entire staff, the doorman, and the chauffeur should not know you just got [ Read the rest…]

Is it OK for a Personal Assistant to air the dirty laundry? What would you do if you were treated horribly and threatened by your employer? This article summarizes a scenario where an employer-employee dispute was shared on Social Media.

In life, nothing is guaranteed except death. I believe a lot of candidates feel that when they meet with a staffing company that it automatically guarantees them a job. THIS is not true for many reasons. A staffing company can meet with you and present you to an employer that they feel you are suitable for. They can assist you with your resume, give you interview pointers, help with your presentation, etc. However, they cannot be YOU. If, and I mean if the employer decides to meet you, the only person walking into that interview is you. The energy you [ Read the rest…]

The Staff at Greenhouse Agency wants to wish everyone a Prosperous, Healthy, and Happy New Year!

I bet the majority of you thought you were going to see a smokin’ hot housekeeper, chef, butler, or nanny huh? Sorry to lead you on, but this “smokin’” is in reference to the “smoker”; you know the one that smokes cigarettes (Newport, Marlboro, Lucky Strike, etc.). Anyway, we get many clients that call us and request that whatever candidate we send be a non-smoker. We have actually had people that were right for the job, had a great personality and the perfect fit lose out because they smoked. The client will say, “I smelled them as soon as they [ Read the rest…]

As a household staffing employee, your relationship with your placement specialist in an agency is crucial to both parties. YOU need the specialist to find the best job for you; one that has great pay, schedule, and benefits. THEY need you to have all the top qualifications that our clients are looking for; flexibility, long term experience, can live-in, and drive. When the two meet it is a wonderful thing.
