A few stamp jobs left, too far from me though:mad:

I'm getting thoroughly fed up with RE, not because the jobs they offer are rubbish, but because they don't offer me any jobs. I'm in Yorkshire and the only job they keep showing is a pub at Stanstead airport!!!! I'll never get off the probation status at this rate!

On the other hand, Gfk and Bare have been great so far. :beer:

Pass a few Gfk jobs my way - i've just accepted my first job from them since last September - I was starting to think they didn't love me anymore...

Also, many people have trouble getting jobs from Bare, so you've done well there.

As you're getting jobs from 2 of the better MS Co's, I wouldn't worry too much about RE...;)

That's a good way to look at it, thanks

I just get fed up of logging onto 10 different sites each day with jobs only on 2 of them. But you're right, at least I'm getting what sound to be some of the better jobs for my newbie status.

The RE jobs will come - you'll probably have to start off with a manky pub job, and once you're off probation you should be able to see more...

I got the first one I applied for. And then the second.

Just to be annoying.

Are the stamp jobs really on RE? I can't see them. And surely stamp jobs belong on GAP!?!

Its not stamps really, its info only. You're not missing much. Fee is not great and there is no purchase.

RE have had these type of jobs at stamp shops before. The jobs with Gap that are done there are about the services that the shop offer, whereas these ones are a different department or even a different business now - it's the same firm who do Premium Bonds, XX&X, if that helps. I've done some of these in the past and they are 2 minute jobs, with a mercifully brief questionnaire!

It probably depends too, on how far you're willing to travel. I was visiting friends about 100 miles away last weekend so added that to my areas and will be going to London in a few weeks time, so have added that in advance.

If you want to see some of the other jobs, you can always add a few more locations & put up to 50 miles on them and you'll probably see more, even if you can't do them - not sure whether that might be more frustrating tho!
