    Morning all. I have been offered a bingo job with gfk, it doesn't say I have to go alone so can I go with a friend or is this an unwritten rule that I be a Bingo Billy-no mates?
    I think other people have taken friends with them and not had any queries. I went on my own, and didn't feel like I stood out too much, there were lots of other people on their own.

    I did one for Gfk but had to be alone to do it. I was really nervous about going by myself but once you're there you realize that quite a few people are by themselves. Enjoy and good luck

    Oh ok, well if you just apply for the job, put any date. You may get a pop up saying date not matched with the AM nane.

    Tried that one too... no luck, just keeps saying all dates are invalid but won't tell me the AM! :D

    Not sure whether to put this on alerts, but afraid of getting shouted at, so will post on here. I've been offered (and managed to accept before anyone else) 3 jobs by GR this morning - a phone shop, electrical retailer and a bank. So worth keeping a close eye on your emails to snap them up.

    Not seen any work on any other companies all weekend or today yet.

    I went with my friend and won 80 quids. Hope you have a good time and good luck!
  • Morning everyone , hope you are all well today !
    GR - phone and electrical jobs Dorset.

    This is odd , I am most definately in Dorset and havent carried out any jobs of these types for GR and hence wont have been excluded , but I can only see Wiltshire ones ... go figure.... ! Makes you wonder how they work out who gets offered what (dont talk to me about the mileages mentioned on RE , its a good thing I know where most places are as the mileages are usually about 20 miles out!)

    Argh! I still can't see jobs that other people can see, both for GR and abai - I couldn't see a single petrol job or high end store on abai.
    And I still can't see anything (nor have ever done and i've been looking for a year) on GR despite me having all the locations full. They have never emailed me about doing a job either? :confused:

    I can't see the new jobs on abai either - I have all the clients added. I put * in the location box and nothing.... was the same for everything else other than catalogue jobs. It's so frustrating!!
