I am a newbie freelance writer from the Philippines. Sometime in October 2008, I answered a full time writing job ad in the Internet. Few days later, I got a response email from the employer, Oliver Turner.

To make the story, he hired me and I signed a work contract agreement. He introduced me to his sis local "virtual assistant" named Rosel Mendoza. Mr. Mendoza is based in the Philippines.

From then on, we communicated through skype messaging. Most of the time, he communicated with me through voice calls.

In the first few weeks, I enjoyed working for Oliver Turner. We had a good working relationship. He earned my trust.

As my employer, I requested him one day regarding my predicament. I had a previous freelance client who owed me $240. Let me call this employer Bob. Bob was based in the US.

Bob said he could only pay me $240 through PayPal. And sadly, I have no PayPal account.

Since I was working as full time employee for Oliver Turner, I requested Oliver if he would be kind enough to accept a PayPal payment for me in his account. He can then send the PayPal money to me together with my salary.

Oliver Turner agreed.

I emailed Bob the PayPal account where he could send money. ( This PayPal account belongs to Oliver Turner). A day later, I got a screenshot of Bob's transaction that showed he just deposited $240 at the PayPal account I furnished him.

Three weeks later, Oliver Turner directed me to write additional articles for his friend. I politely declined. I pointed out to him that as per our agreement, I will only write two articles for him, write blogs, uploads images, and update his website, www.shockingdatingsecrets.com.

Oliver Turner expressed his disappointment with my refusal. As a last resort, I resigned. He accepted my resignation. We parted ways in an amicable positive, professional way.

I reminded him about my PayPal money and Oliver Turner promised to send it " soon". That was November 23, 2008.

No payment arrived at his designated date. I communicated with him through skype. Oliver Turner made several alibis. His virtual assistant Rosel Mendoza also emailed me a promise that he would help me get my PayPal money from his boss. But everything were just promises made to be forgotten.

I sent several skype messages to Oliver Turning, asking for my money. Sadly, he no longer answers my email or my skype messages.

Now, I don't know if I can still get back my PayPal money.

My name is Alice Hermosa, and I've worked with Oliver Talamayan's company.

This issue has already been resolved with the writer, Jose Gerardo. Long story short, this was a misunderstanding, that got way out of hand, and is now resolved. Here's an e-mail that we received from him recently:

    "Sir Oliver,

   Thanks for replying to the email.

     I believe that the miscommunication that occured between us was largely my fault. You see, I ignorantly thought that once an amount is deposited to a PayPal account, it can immediately be withdrawn.

   With that mindset, I expected you  to send me the PayPal money in a moment's notice-- just like the banks do.
  
    When you didn't, I interpreted it differently. Only later did I found out from my friends--- ( web writers from India, Canada, USA, etc..) that it really take some time for PayPal to release the money. I realized then how stupid I was  and that I committed a grave mistake against you.

    So it is me that ought to seek your forgiveness. I committed a mistake out of sheer ignorance of online money transaction like PayPal. I'm deeply and truly sorry. 

    Please forgive me.

    I have no grudge or anger or ill-feelings against you. I know  you are a good person, and a fair employer. I will gladly offer you my writing services again, if ever you have a  need  for it.

     Again, I am truly sorry for the stupid mistakes I committed against you.

    Sincerely yours,
     Jose"

After working for Oliver's company for 4 years, I can attest to the high level of integrity, dedication, and commitment that he has towards his staff members,
and his customers.

Here are some of the testimonials we've receive from our team members here at Staff In Seconds:

"This endeavor is not only convenient but fulfilling as well. It provides opportunity for everyone to earn, be at their best without the hassles of being out of home daily. with comprehensive and easy instructions online. Indeed, I can say that spreading how this has changed my life is worth it. A fast paced world like ours is an epitome of how people should be geared towards to.  Truly commendable!"

"Finding a greater job opportunity in the city of Manila is the reason why I left the province where I came from. Even though I dont know anything about this place and what would my life be, I still took the adventure and risks. I had this eagerness and hope that one day I will find the right job that wherein I could use my skills and at the same time learn at lot from it, a job that would help me become more stable to build my life here and live a better life. The first two months of finding a job was really a tough one. I had been through a lot of interviews and yet nothing positive happened, until one day, a friend of mine sent me a link of a home base job offer. I took the opportunity to apply and had been through a lot of tough interviews and exam, luckily I passed. I was very excited on the first day of work and even though I had started working here few days ago, I was amazed how the team works and how organize this company was, from the HR Assistance to the head of the Web Designing Department and to the whole team itself. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude, I am so glad and very honored to be a part of this company that I could dedicate my time, skills, talent and at the same time grow and learn more in this field of work."

"I have spent more than 4 years as a full time employee in one firm, but my life there is not easy for the fact that working in an area where you have to interact with your colleague is too pressure. Handling different kind of people in one area for the whole day is not easy. And another reason why I left that company because I never promoted for doing my best and contributing my whole knowledge for the progress of the firm. I decided to look for another job and I try to find a home base work, but its difficult to find a legitimate home base job. Its very hard to find a legitimate company online because I had an experienced that after 1 month of working to online work I have never been paid or I did not received a salary from them. Then I come across this company my whole sanity of view had changed. I feel the atmosphere of the HOME where peace of mind is there. I can spend lot of time with my family while enjoying my work to a friendly and helpful people. I can conclude that this is the perfect home job to spend my whole life where my whole personality and skills will progress. Its wonderful and perfect to stay. THIS IS MY DREAM JOB AND MY DREAM DREAM COMPANY!!"

"My friends often rib me about my nomadic career. Truth to tell, I never really enjoyed working for any of my previous companies. But working for Staff in Seconds changed my professional outlook greatly. The opportunity of working directly with big clients and finishing projects 10x faster than I did before gave a boost to my confidence. And the people running Staff in Seconds make sure that Im well take care of, checking me out from time to time, patiently helping me out when I encounter problems. For the first time in my career I can say that I truly believe in what Im doing. And with that  Im finally a HAPPY employee. Thanks to Staff in Seconds!"
