    RE is back up - but can't say it's flooded with new jobs, sadly!

    No, just a thousand sandwich jobs, half a dozen bookies and a couple of pubs... The same things that have been there for ages... :rolleyes:

    Yeah i noticed :mad:

    Not to change the subject just wanted to aske anyone who is with Bare, i have recntly done a visit for a phone shop and was wondering if anyone else has, i have a small query, when they are asking you to record what the staff member actually said about the model are you meant to type it up as the conversation happened between us like this below?
    Conversation example:
    Shopper: "I'm looking for a new phone, what's a good phone
    with plenty of features?"
    Sales Assistant: "What kind of features do you require?” /
    "What do you use your current phone for?"
    Shopper: "I want to be able to store and listen to music, take
    good quality photos and use the internet "


    Thanks! ;)

    Anyone else notice the fee on the London clubbing jobs has gone from
    0 to the usual fee they do to double the fee........they finally get the message that we are not going to work for couple of over priced drinks. Now I would consider them if I was out at that time of night......a hot chocolate at home suits me.

    RE is down for maintenance continually. Can't they figure out a better website? They should just go with the one BARE and Tern uses - they are never down for maintenance.

    Does anyone know how long it takes edigital to pay you once you have raised an invoice?

    Cheques are written on 20th of the month and are usually delivered a few days after.

    I put down what the assistant said, not what I said, as that was pretty much from the script. So it was things like, "My personal favourite is Nokia, I have tried Samsung, but found them unreliable. The battery life is good with Samsung though. Sony Ericcson are a good brand too."

    jsut signed up to gapbuster. Colchester and Reading don't appear in the suburbs list. Can anyone advise if its just me, or if its them, or if its a case of there aren't any jobs on offer in those areas at the minute?

    The names only appear when there are jobs in the area; however there are always spelling mistakes and things under "high street" or "back lane" etc!
    I saw the oracle on there a couple of days ago.

    Probably just because of a lack of jobs at the moment but if you click through to another suburb you'll see a drop down list which you can use to search again - I find quite often my local suburbs are in there but not the main search list.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    Another question about the Abai petrol jobs, for anyone that has done one where you don't buy fuel.

    I have to buy something from shop and drink from cafe but have to spend x amount, is the drink included in this amount, i would think it is but later in brief it says go to till spending x amount and then ask for hot drink, which would take it over the amount.

    Don't really want to spend more than I have to, does this make sense and can anyone help?
