OMG. Getting so fed up with RE. They have docked points because I did not fully answer a question about a person's gender and appearance. I said she had short blonde hair, provided her name, said she was small and slim and had a non-british accent.

They say they can't use 'non british accent'. Why not? Wouldn't it be offensive to say Spanish if she was Portugese or something? They also say I didn't mention gender. Hello? What does 'she' mean then??!

Grrrrrrrr

OMG how petty.

If you gave her name, IMHO unless it was a common name there shouldn't be a need for a description, but I guess it depends on the size of the outlet.

YIPPEEE finally got first job with BARE :T. They phoned me for one that I applied for ages ago apparently lol. But hay ho, it is done & dusted and gets me off the ground with them :j.

Do I remember someone saying ages ago that you need to do a spoken test with BARE (or was it another company)? I can't find anything about it & wondered if someone could point me in the right direction please?

Thank you x

It was a tiny outlet. Her name was so unusual I'd never heard of it before and had to check it several times when I was MSing to make sure I'd got it right.

I joined RE based on the number of alerts there are on the alert thread for it, but I think I may stop accepting their jobs. Pay's low too.

i did my first job with them last saturday and i have not done a spoken test. but after completing the assignment i had to do a quiz which if right then gives you an activation code you need to get your report in. but when i went to do this i then had to do a second different quiz. so lots of tests before i could actually enter the data from my shop.

I've just registered and can log in but can't see any threads on the forum. What have I done wrong?
