The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

I get all the airport jobs too, because I am registered with them as a frequent flyer for Newcastle. I wish you could turn down jobs so they stopped showing up with RE as some hang about for ages.

Grr! Just saw some pharmacy jobs on RE, including one in my home town, but when I clicked on it, it said someone else had just taken it

How strange! I just tried applying for three other pharmacy jobs (in two other towns), and each one said exactly the same as the above! Is it really usual for them to go so quickly?

IlonaRN I think with popular jobs they limit you. Lasy year when pharmacy jobs appeared where you could purchase an item of your choice as soon as you accepted one the rest vanished.

That's the weird thing. I haven't got a pharmacy job with them at all yet (that is what I was trying to get!). I have a kitchen shop lined up to do at the end of the month, and that will be my first job for them.

I just can't figure out if I'm not allowed to do the jobs (in which case, why can I see them?), or if someone really is taking them in the few seconds between the page refresh and the click on the job!

Is it because I'm still on probationary until I have done my first job for them?

You can only do one job at once with RE until you get off probationary, so yes that'll be why.

On the job board system that BARE and Tern use, how do you get to see more than one page of jobs? They're in alphabetical order for me, which means that my town is on the next page, and I can't get to it!

IlonaRN on BARE are you searching by country on county? It's best to search by country as then you will also see any email or phonecall jobs.
But at the moment they is only 1 page of jobs showing for the UK.

Hope that helps for BARE, I don't MS for Tern so hopefully someone else can help with them.

Was searching by country, as it says the county search only really works in the US.

Thankyou for your help

Hollypear - Good point about them not asking you where you were going, suppose they wouldn't? Would it be possible that the insurance company or anybody would look into seeing if you have the correct insurance and would you get in trouble if it's illegal?

Can I please PM someone about the recording date of my results, bit worried I am not going to do it on the right day and not get paid.
