Remembered it, how hard did other people find it to get your first job on Bear? Been applying for jobs since December now and not been assigned any. Is it worth phoning them to ask or should I just keep applying and waiting?

ukmonkey found it easy, I think it was his first MS job!

I managed to bag a dire one last week - received a phone call for it, I think they were uber desperate as there was no fee and the reimbursement was awful for the shop. Keep accepting jobs, you probably won't get it but that's the only way they know you're active and looking.

I wasnt eligable for the car ones being a year too young, although any profits from my MS'ing at the moment is going in to my 'new car fund'. :rolleyes:
Keep applying for the 'self assign' ones but as I'm not yet qualified due to having too low a shopper score (give me the first job and I'll get that up no doubt) I have to wait to see if they assign them to me. Wouldnt mind so much if I was able to do some of their qualifying tests in the mean time. So frustrating though, some of the ones I've applied for have been sat on the shop board right until the due dates and I would have been able to do them alongside other jobs well before.

i just kept applying for jobs in my area without success and then got a phone call asking me to do 4 cars ones, a little bit out of distance., so the car ones were my first for bear too
I took them, then got a call asking me to take a no fee jeans job and if i did i would get 9 more car ones
keep trying and applying - youll get there eventually

My experience with bear has been the same. I signed up to them a short while ago, applied for a few car jobs and heard nothing but was rung this week and offered a 5 car circuit. Hope you get something soon. I'm still reading up on cars for my showroom tour tomorrow.

This afternoon, keep seeing alerts, dashing to the site and not seeing any jobs. Think it is punishment for having so many jobs already this month maybe . But I have managed to land a pizza last minute cancellation which will keep us fed after the first 4 showrooms have been done, result with that one.

My first ever MS job at all, was a jewellers for RE.

My first ever job for the grizzly one was a large car circuit - go figure!

I must've impressed them as they've called me a couple of times for my advice about the other circuits!!!

I'd want more money than that to get a credit check done!!! At least I would at the moment as I am trying to arrange a remortgage and don't want lots of checks appearing on my credit file - I'd want a really good fee to chance that!
