QUESTION
Q. Is It obligatory to become an Executive Member if I am interested in a job through The Guild?
A. NO! You do not have to be an Executive Member. We will gladly evaluate your "suitability" for any given position. You must however be a regular member and have uploaded your Résumé to your personal account.
NOTE
We do not insist that you become an Executive Member of The Guild as a condition for finding employment through our Employment Agency. However, as we constantly advertise that we have professional Executive Members available for Temporary and Permanent positions, you will understand that clients expect us to evaluate such Executive Members first because they have been trained and/or screened by us. As such, you would stand more chance of meeting a client's requirements if you were an Executive Member.
LEGAL
The International Guild of Professional Butlers respects the right of any individual to submit their personal details to The Guild free of charge, for the purpose of finding employment on the mutual understanding that he or she does not wish to become Executive Member and that The Guild retains its right to give preference and/or priority to its Executive Members without any explanation being given.
