Comments:
I registered with ASA in January of 1998. I scored in the high 80's low 90's on all of the tests. They did not call me back. I delt with Arnie- who could not even remember my name even though I sat at his desk for a little over an hour. He promised to find me the best DTP jobs in the city but never called. I originally had an appointment with Ilyssa who was not there the day of my appointment. Nor did she even bother to let me know. I waited in the lobby for two hours before I met with Arnie. I arrived during lunch time (which was when my appointment was scheduled) and was treated very badly by the receptionist who obviously lacked people skills. It left a bad impression on me. Even if ASA DID call me I would never take an assignment from then and anyone that I come across I STRONGLY advise them to go to another agency because ASA is not worth the time.

Note that all reviews are individual contributions and do not represent the opinion of the site administrator. They have not been independently verified, so there is nothing to stop someone from posting a pack of lies. Some agencies with great reviews may be really bad, and some agencies with bad reviews may be really great. As with everything online, be careful and don't believe everything you read.
