Before I joined Great Lakes Employment, I was paranoid due to one defunct agency in Florida I did business with about ten years ago.
I called the local BBB and the Attorney General in Wisconsin about Great Lakes Employment and both said that Great Lakes has a satisfactory rating.
Also, Tony of Great Lakes Employment sent me a free pre-employment package including helpful hints to be employed and copy from the BBB giving them a satisfactory rating.
Great Lakes has been accessible with long hours, honest, upbeat, informative, I would be glad to recommend them for overseas employment. Within a week after my resume was sent out to five different companies, I had an overseas offer in security.

From September 16, 2003- December 14, 2003, I was a checkpoint supervisor for Vinnell Corporation in Riyald, Saudi Arabia. Personally, I checked all vendors entering the compound and Vinnell vehicles. Supervised three gate checkpoints including other foreign nationals and locals. In June, 2003, Stephen Novak of Vinnell Corporation offered me the checkpoint position. In a few days, I went to Virginia for personal interview at their expense. He thought I would be leaving shortly in June. A week earlier, I had been contacted by DynCorp out of Ft. Worth, TX. For a security position in Quatar. Before, I left for Saudi, I received a phone call from the Northwest for a security position in the Far East.
I recommend Great Lakes Employment International for overseas positions. A must if one is serious about adventure, experience, and having a surplus of spending money. One of the best ways to start and keep excellent credit.

I’m writing this testimonial to acknowledge the personnel of Great Lakes Employment of doing a fantastic job, prior to going overseas, while overseas & even after returning from overseas.
I’m sure you all will keep up the good work. I just returned from doing electrical work and I'm waiting for a class 2 clearance from Dyncorp. For right now I'm doing basic electrical work on a government contract for PAE. I wish you all the best.
Sincerely, Chris

Greetings to you, Mr. Aude and staff.
I received the copy of my resume in the mail. It reads smooth and looks professional as promised. I also received a response from the Defense Intelligence Agency. That is the most positive response so far. I want to thank you again for your help. Sincerely, Gerhard

Mark - Vinton, VA

I received an offer from Kabul, Afghanistan and the pay has an increase of approx. 20% for 'hazard pay'. Working approximately 20 - 25 hours / week of overtime in the Maitenance industry on a NATO camp. There are bomb shelters around in case of any danger and I was issued a flak jacket when I arrived. For the 6 month contract i have a 3 week break I can take whenever I want. I'm going to try to hold off until the last month so I can just return home early. I will re-sign with this same company if they increased the pay a bit.

Ray - Pocatello, ID

Hi, Mark. Ray here, I just got an application from the Vinnell Corporation asking me to fill out the application and send them a copy of my DD Form 214 and some law enforcement and/or physical security certificates.
Is there anything I need to do with you guys prior to filling out this information and returning it to them? Any advice from you? Thanks

I will call you early in the week.
Thanks, Jeff

Dear James,
I wanted to update you on what has occured since we last communicated. On Tuesday, I was contacted by the local Wackenhut office and informed me that the only international post they had open was in Bosnia and would I be interested. When I responded "yes", they asked me to come in for a brief 1/2 hour interview on Thursday 10:00am. During the interview, one thing led to another and I ended up leaving at 4:00pm. I ended up taking a physical, drug and phsy test, the results are pending but I won't have any problems in these areas. They have also initiated my background check and I was informed that it shouldn't take long, possibly by the end of this coming week, Friday. They offered:
1. 25% "overseas differential" applied to basic hourly rate for all hours worked in Bosnia.
2. Work schedule 48 hour weeks in Bosnia.
3. Sign-on bonus $3,000.00 paid as follows: $1,000.00 in first regular payroll check; $1,000.00 after 90 days; $1,000.00 after 9 months.
4. Completion Bonus $9,000.00 per year. $750.00 per month, accured, paid at end of each full year on contract.
5. Vacation Travel Allowance $3,000.00 per year, paid in conjunction with annual home leave.
6. Vacation 4 weeks per year.
7. Holidays 10 per year, scheduled by Project Manager, concistent with mission requirements.
8. Room & Board provided at no cost to employee.
9. Sick 5 days per year.
10. This program includes a comprehensive benefits package consisting of health and dental insurance options, disability coverage and life insurance.
What I would like from you and Great Lakes Employment is to review the potential offer and get back to me as soon as you can. I would like to know, based on yours' and Great Lakes' past experience, the true value of this offer and things for me to consider. Given the sense of urgency that Wackenhut is moving on my application, your immediate response would be greatly appreciated. I have already downloaded as much information as I could find about Bosnia from the State Department/CIA's web-site as well as the C.D.C. (Center for Disease Control) about any immunizations I may need related to health cautions. In any event, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kindest regards, Eddie
