Haven't had any cancelled, as I didn't have any booked - have done loads in the last few months and wasn't eligible to visit any of them this time as I'd visited too recently. Still nnoyed to get the email telling me they'd taken me off the stamp shop jobs though - was getting a nice collection of stamps for Xmas cards!

I was annoyed as one of the jobs that they canceled was given to me because I agreed to do a last minute assignment for them. They wait for me to do the one they want then cancel that one. Another one I tried to do on Friday and it was closed so I had it rescheduled for this week and now its cancelled so it cost me! Surprise surprise they have not responded to my mail.

I did a fast food shop with gap, there are a few more in my area that I want to do, it says no more than 6 per month which would be fine as I've only done the one for them so far, however when they show up on the job search they show up as greyed out even though I have done the orientation and now a job for them. Does it mean someone has gone for it and is waiting approval or is it me? I searched different cities though (going to my mums next weekend) and I can do them there, just thought it was strange.

I know with RE you have to wait until your first job is assessed before you can do any more, so may well be the same with Gap - I joined them too long ago to remember, another newbie might know? But would suspect that is why they're greyed out for you.

Is this the one where you have to take a photo?

I'm a bit upset I emailed back and said I could do up to 3 local ones and they never replied - usually they have the decency to email back and say if they've already been allocated to someone else, but I've not had any reply at all this time.

Yes it is.
Must be a bit slack with the emails just now.

I can't even see any! I don't know if it's because there just aren't any in my area - or if I'm not allowed to see them because I haven't accepted one of the rubbish jobs first. Any thoughts? Is it true you have to do a rubbish RE job before you get to see the better ones? Problem is most of the ones I see are too far away to be worth the trip.

Also, on the Alerts thread someone has just posted that there are phone jobs on Bare - but I can't see any at all. Have they gone already or am I not allowed to see those either?

I think they are phone shops rather than phoning jobs- does that help?
Also, when I joined RE I had to do one job, which had to be looked at by someone before I got any others. My oh got caught out - he did a 6 week gym evaluation and until he had finished it no other jobs appeared for him.

I was allocated my first job with Assosia last week and they said I would get the details yesterday. I didn't, so I've emailed them this morning but still haven't got anything. Are they usually like this? It's an audit which I've never done before so I'm keen to get the details.

I got an email yesterday confirming which visit I was to do for Assossia (i.e. the one I'd applied for) and saying that job details would be sent last night - they weren't. No, they're not usually like this, but the jobs don't start til Thurs/Fri, so will prob get details tomorrow.

Same problem here, just found this thread to see if anyone else was having problems

No problems here. I've accepted one and they're letting me take more if I want them.

I have just done a fast food delivery for GAP but the driver did not take his helmet off so I cant give a description but it wont let me submit, what should I do?

Is it select from a list of hair colours etc? I'd suggest selecting the top one of each option and in a notes space explain what actually happened.

I think that's what I'd do, too Ruthiejane, It's the only way to get it submitted in time. A bit annoying to have to tick wrong boxes, but for other companies I've had to do something like this on occasion, so why not with Gap?

Actually earlier I had a prob when they wanted a number from a quote - well my 'quote' was scrawled on a bit of paper so I emailed them to let them know I could submit the report if they wanted to accept that type of quote. Call me suspicious but I think otherwise they might accept the report, use it, but not pay due to the lack of a number.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Thats sad news for me- I was kind of hoping the mistake was that no one could get them and I could get in there quick tomorrow morning:o
