    Yup, I've noticed that too. Not a fan of Zip. I seem to get the most hits on Indeed applications.

    The radio ads I always hear for Zip are always catering to the employer (find the right CANDIDATE) and never the seeker (find the right JOB).

    In our Colorado camp/motel site, there was a woman working on a travel nurse contract for Estes Park. I think she had three weeks left on a nine- or 15-week contract. I'd never even heard of that before meeting her.

    Interesting, especially for the shortness. The offer that I have (haven't accepted yet because I have one last interview in a half-hour for a full-time/permanent job that they are moving quickly on) from the state is nine months -- or shorter. So it could end at anytime.

    I have lots of friends who are nurses... One used to do this. Length of contract depends. She did year-long. If you're really invested in it and it's what you want to do, I'm told it's a great way to see lots of different places.

    One thing I have made an effort to do since I began going to restaurants and bars again is increase my tipping to no less than 30 percent

    I tip 15% or $5, whichever is more. This is for takeout, where I never tipped BC (Before Covid).

    It's only fair, to help pay the medical expenses of all those you are infecting.

    Everything I do is outside and during early hours, nothing on the weekends
    And I always wear a mask

    That's been around for years. Skilled nurses in a specialized area go on the road to a hospital with a shortage and make 50%+ more with their hotel room paid for. It's a good gig if you don't mind the travel and leaving home for months at a time.

    I never tipped for take out until Covid. I figured the restaurant was making theirs and I wasn't paying for service. Now everyone involved is just trying to hang on, so yeah, $4-5 at least.
