through your site ?

JoobsToday primarily enrolls university
and college students from various cities and towns in the U.S. We also enroll
part-time and flex-time workers who have expressed their interest to provide
services and earn extra money. as a customer, you have a choice of choosing the
type of worker that will respond to your posting. If you choose Students only,
then your posting will only be emailed to students in your neighborhood. The
decision of whom to hire is entirely your choice. Students may be better for
some jobs, whereas for other jobs requiring special skills, it may be
preferable to hire from the general outside market.

| Should I be concerned
about the people I engage for my services ? |
|
In general, you should always exercise
caution. all students and workers are registered on our system, but Joobstoday
has no way of knowing if they have provided us with the accurate information.
However, in all cases JoobsToday has their email addresses including their
student emails as well as their phone contact information, so we can track them
on our system. It's a good idea to see a copy of their Drivers License or other
Government I.D. and note down the details when you're engaging a new worker.
However, there is no need to worry if you follow some simple steps as outlined
below. |

| What is the most
economical way to use the system ?
|
|
although it is more expensive to try a
single job, we urge you to try the system for yourself and experience how it
works. Once you're satisfied, you may buy a larger block of jobs, which will be
the most economical. When paying for the actual job, you can specify that you
want to receive quotes from people who are interested in your job. This way,
you can make people bid for your job and if price is the only parameter you're
concerned for that job, you will be in a position to choose the lowest
bidder.In the long run, the Unlimited job pack is the most economical. This
way, you can post any job, however small they are, and not worry about
additional costs

| How much should I pay
for services ?
|
|
Although JoobsToday does not set any
rates for any job, we give you an estimate. Most jobs are between $8 / hr to
$20 /hr. Some jobs like with special talent such as Home Networking or working
with kids with special needs may cost more. The actual rate that you pay is
negotiated between you and the person you're thinking of engaging. Feel free to
use our system to receive the lowest bids from respondents.
