I did my first job today where you have to reveal yourself, I scared the living daylights out of the staff, do you think I misunderstood the term 'reveal' was I just supose to explain what I was doing, not strip off!:rotfl:

Seriously I'm not sure who was more nervous me or the member of staff, she was new to the job (3 weeks) and normally works in a different location. However she was fab!

I wanted to give her a big hug when we had finished (not very proffessional of me though, so I didn;t!);)

Was this a Gfk job per chance?

I wonder - I've only done one job so far for RE, got a couple coming up. NO longer probationary but don't seem to get manyjobs appearing - is it a gradual thing, that you have to prove yourself over time and you get offered more? or am I just being unlucky?

Basically, the RE website pleases itself. Generally, different people can see different jobs - and there doesn't seem to be any logical pattern to it.

I'm registered with them, and I don't seem to remember doing any trial visit. Perchance I made it up? :shhh:

TPAx

I'm stupid, Optimum Contact requires a trial visit before starting up..yes?/No? I think I need to lie down.

Hi

How did you find out about the Opt Contact calls? Was it by email, as I cannot see any when I log in. Want to do these!

I'm doing a mobile broadband enquiry for RE today. Spot the deliberate mistake. Last question says : "Please give a description of your overall visit, this must be a minimum of 1000 words which is about 250 words."

Tell them you are deducting 2 points for poor spelling!!!

When I joined OC I never had to do a trial visit.

Don't worry about it - they're used to it, and know what to do...
