....i don't think we can really expect to be paid serious money for what we do.

And yet companies expect a serious level of confidentiality, attention to detail, quality of report etc etc etc etc from shoppers.
If the MS company expects anything more than a few ticky boxes on the report, then we *should* expect more than a 'free meal' and a measly couple of pounds.

Can I just ask a question about ABAi? I'm registered with them now, but whenever an alert comes up on the other thread, nothing is showing on my login! How do you check for jobs as I've only got ????????s showing and there's no jobs for them.

Sorry to hear about your loss Becles, thinking of you and your family x

It's been mentioned on here quite a few times aligerdie - but if you missed it the way to expand your client list is to ring abai. If you look under the 'contact us' tab on the website there are a list of numbers - you can ring any of them tbh. When you speak to someone just ask if they could add more clients to your list - some companies are age dependent and others can be location or sex - so you might not get the complete list.

And may I say I've just completed the two RE job questionnaires. Why the hell do they insist on having to put a damn comment each time. After 40 odd questions your thinking "are you kidding me or what!!" As I said earlier I chose these because I was already doing a job for GR and I (and DD) needed to be fed. The food itself was good - hot, tasty and filling but not sure it's worth spending ages afterwards filling in the completely annoying questionnaires. Even when I put a comment in it asks for more - I mean come on.....

I have accepted 2 computer jobs on GAP for the same shop on the same day (diff scenarios), it has let me do this, it doesn't say in the rules anything about how many shops you can do etc
Has anyone else done this (I really didn't think it would let me have it so I thought I would test it out LOL

I totally agree with you Ellie, and like you I did the jobs as I was doing another job for a less demanding company, I do not mind the tick boxes and writing an overall experience, stating everything thar was good/bad. But putting the comments in does seem to be a waste of time. Then upload photos and what not it takes the best part of an hour !

In the past I have done two for same shop diff scenarios one week apart and their attitude was well if the computer has let you choose it then its ok. Maybe just send them an email but dont expect a response.

No that was my thought!! I think I will just do the 2 together if they don't say anything!! It did however reject a stamp job as I only did the same shop the other week! Thanks for reply

You need to modify your post, ali, to take out the client name, it could be seen as a breach of confidentiality...;)
