I have a couple of questions firstly how long does it take before you come out of the Provisional RE section? Secondly how do you find jobs available on there?

After your first job, you lose your probationary status.

Jobs come up at random, so you have to keep looking - you'll probably have to do a pub job to get you started...

What do pub jobs involve? I love the pub so its not sounding too bad at the moment!

You have to buy drinks from a list provided, check the toilet facilities and assess the service you receive from the staff. Some of the pub jobs involve buying food as well...

Sounds good to me, do they just randomly appear? I also emailed them with your correct email

I was wondering if there is an age restriction for the RE casino jobs. Has anyone under 25 done one, for example?

I have 1100 points on RE but have lost about 100 in my time with them due to late reports and stuff, a few cancellations too:eek:

can remember who was asking about the spread betting on gfk but i got an email today answering some of my questions i had about it.

i said i am still interested so i don't think they have picked people yet.

p.s. you get to keep any winnings and they will refund your losses upto £500.

yes, they are fairly random... some of them hang around for ages, but as you're just starting, they may only offer you a few jobs to start with...

Hiya,

Does it go against me if I have to reschedule a Gap job?

My dog is poorly and I've had to take her to London and she is staying in overnight so the chances are I won't be able to do a job I booked for tomorrow as hopefully I'll be travelling to go and get her (took 3 hours to get there this morning!)

google street maps uk has just launched great if you have forgotten what was to the right and left of a building !!
just google your address on maps then there is a little man symbol to the top left - drag that on to your address on the map and you can see a 360 degree view of the area, most cities are covered... more to come !
