How do I find locations MSC service before signing up?

I feel like I've signed up for too many companies that end up not having shops in my area. I live in RI and also service lower MA.

You could sign up with JobSlinger, where jobs are listed by location. When you find a job listed in your area, sign up with the company. The jobs on JobSlinger are outdated, so probably the job itself will be gone by the time you sign up, but you would know that the company does have jobs in your area. Other than things like JobSlinger, signing up with companies is the answer. Very, very few companies will tell you their clients or the locations of their clients until you register with them and sign their confidentiality agreement.

I have registered with something like 75 companies not knowing if there would be shops in my area. I have used 20 MSCs so far. I use Jobslinger but I also spend a lot of time checking individual websites. At this point in my life I have the spare time to do these searches so its not a big deal to me. I will be checking out the links isaiah58 mentions.

I get that they won't tell you the client list but it would be helpful and less time wasting for all if they told you the states they serviced.

The problem is the MSC works wherever their client has locations.

Jewels, To add to what LisaSTL said above, the clients the MSP has THIS month may NOT be the same clients they have NEXT month!! It can be frustrating when clients switch MSPs, which seems to happen rather frequently. However, you just never know when an MSP will be hired for a client in your area. So it IS a good idea to sign up with as many companies as you can, because one day, they may have jobs in your area! Good luck!
