You can see them right now? As far as I can tell I have all options ticked (except I don't have a business email address), and now my grand total of available jobs on RE has gone to ZERO. I wonder why I can't see clothes shops.

Could it be your age SC?

I don't KNOW, but I would imagine the clothes shops on RE are for younger people, maybe <30? Dunno how old you are, so please don't be insulted.

Great minds, Monkey!!! I've just PMd Dinah to ask which shop it is and as I was writing the PM I thought maybe I'm too old. At least that would explain it, but will have to wait and see which shop it is.

How can I be insulted? If you could only see the grey hair and bags under my eyes :eek:

Doesn't say on the assignment notes you have to be a certain age, personally they have no fee and are too expensive which is why I'm not interested!

In that case I AM insulted! :eek: How dare they just assume I'm an old hag without even knowing my age. I wonder if they've seen me on cctv on previous jobs and just thought we don't want that old bat shopping in our stores, it'll lower the tone.

Dinah, thanks for the PM. Definitely what I would consider a young shop, but if they don't take your age on RE, how do they know? I don't remember a question asking which category I fell into:

a) Trendy young chick

b) Middle-aged and harassed

c) Wrinkled old bat

d) Bag lady

If it's any consolation I can't see the clothes stores either and I cover the same area as you.

I'm trying to decide which one I should tick. I am definitely not an a):eek:

I have a RE query - alerts board just said hotels London. I have hotels selected and cover London and I am not seeing anything like this at all? Am I doing something wrong...

Well that's odd, isn't it? I'm guessing you're younger than me (most people are, sadly;)!!!), so I wonder what we did to upset them?


Anyway, stand by your beds, lads. I'm off out now to do an audit. Miserable horrid day and I really don't feel like it, but you can guarantee about half an hour after I leave the house, all the MS companies will decide to upload tons of wonderful new jobs.

Leave me a couple, please!

I never see hotels so can't help you, I've sort of given up the hope of them.

The plot thickens! I sometimes see hotels. Maybe they only want oldies???
