My experience with them was a little while ago, not particularly recent, but judging from the other…read morereview I read here (Justin G.), it wasn't unique. I can't remember the name of the young lady I interviewed with, but she was pleasant enough, seemed competent, spent a fair amount of time reviewing my qualifications, and I left with some expectation that the results would be positive. Ah...nope. All my dreams up in smoke. Never heard back. Nothing. Just the sound of crickets chirping from over in the direction of Edison. I get it that the job market out there can be tough...especially these days...and people come to these interviews with varying degrees of ability and experience, but why waste people's time if you really can't accomplish what you advertise? And don't have the common courtesy or decency to maybe reach out and let the "client" know...well...something? Anything? "Can't find any openings right now that match your qualifications, but...hey!...they're looking for apple pickers up in Chazy, NY! Beautiful scenery, outdoor work in the country air, bonding with your fellow apple pickers, maybe a free apple or 2 come lunchtime..." Or--- "Sorry, we can't help right now--- try again later maybe." Or--- "Sorry, you're a hopeless schmuck with a crummy attitude. Listen, there's a soup kitchen on the South Side of town..." Or--- "Hey, go f... yourself and get outa this office before I call security!" (Wonder how much they're paying security these days?) I suspect I would have done better with them if I had been seeking only temporary work, something without any benefits or job security (although job security is a tenuous thing everywhere these days). I suspect a lot of these "employment agencies" exist only as mechanisms in the furtherance of exploitation. To be fair, I'm sure AppleOne isn't unique in this regard. But it was my first experience with an "employment agency" and it left a bad taste. Real bad. Thankfully, I was able to find another job on my own. A legitimate job with benefits, professional standards, and reasonable security. Have I the misfortune to ever find myself jobless again (it's a terrifying experience and I don't recommend it to anybody), I suppose I may, in desperation, have to turn to the services of some kind of employment agency. It won't be AppleOne.

It's been a month since Simone at AppleOne Edison helped me find my current full-time job, and I…read morecouldn't be more grateful. I was straight out of college and not receiving many interviews after two months of hunting. I filled out AppleOne's online application, and then Simone reached out to me. While meeting with her, she was attentive to my career interests, reviewed my resume and skills, and gauged my interest in several opportunities. It was my first time going through an agency, and even though I had a lot of (admittedly stupid) questions, she clarified them all politely and patiently. When it was interview day, she called me to check how I was doing before and after. Within the past month I've received more job offers and interview opportunities from openings I applied to independently, but the job I landed through AppleOne has better pay. I'm sorry that the last reviewer's experience didn't work out for him, but overall AppleOne was awesome for me, and basically saved me from drowning in crippling student loans. I'd recommend this agency to any of my friends.

If you're taking a computer-based assessment (professional or student) and MR Edison is listed as a…read moretesting location option, consider this agency's office as a solid local choice. If you're driving southbound on Main St., the agency's office is located inside the big brown building just past Amboy Avenue; it's two buildings down from Angies' Cafe and Bakery. There is a driveway leading to a large parking lot behind the building; the first few spots are reserved. Enter through the front of Bldg. 276, and take the flight of stairs to your left; the office will be on the left side. I did not catch her name, but the test proctor is really nice. The testing room itself is small--it has probably five or six workstations available--but it does the job; it was also clean and kept nice and cold thanks to both a fan and A/C system. There were no distractions while I was testing, but the A/C and/or fan may be loud for some; the dividers between workstations may also move every now and then due to the strong fan. Important: Unlike PearsonVUE testing centers, there are no lockers. Thus, I recommend that you bring nothing except whatever you're permitted to take into the testing area with you--no cellphones, study material, purses, wallets, or even extra articles of clothing. The proctor will provide you with paper, pencils, and earplugs should you need them.
