    Right, I've been reading this and the last thread over the last few days and have plucked up the courage to join Gap. Have done orientation for all the shops except a burger one but when I search all I get are ones for this particular burger place. Am I doing something wrong or are there just no others available at the moment?

    and with Retail Eyes, is there someone who would like to refer me for the extra money?

    Thankyou

    Laura
    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions

    Welcome! PM'd you regarding RE.

    GAP havn't released any jobs for a while so theres probably hardly any left. There's usually a few burger jobs hanging around though if you can complete that orientation

    :j As a newbie I thought it would take ages to start being accepted for jobs, but I've got 9 lined up over the next 7 days :T Three of them are for a company I did a little work for before Christmas, but the rest are new so I'm going to have to do a really good job to prove myself I think.

    Is it usual to have to do lower paid jobs initially until you've built up a reputation?

    Used to be, but unfortunately most jobs are low paid now...:mad:

    You are looking at them the wrong way round.... As the dates approach and people cancel the fees will have to go up - look at the two on GAP for a corner shop in Inverness last week - 4 times the regular fee.

    Maybe the next option is a bit of cross-recommendation between members - when you realise you cannot get to a certain area recommend a member on here who can?

    I have a stupid amber arch question. Could someone who works for them PM me? I'd rather not air in public.

    ESA still shows over 2000 jobs to be allocated. I thought the lad was a bit optimistic when he said it would be done this afternoon.

    I did that once and it tasted delicious, but I took it back in and said it tasted "off". The staff member told me that she had had one earlier and thought it was off too :rotfl::rotfl:

    D.

    Whoops - wrong quote - had meant to quote the post where he said that he was going to buy a sandwich and say that it tasted funny.
