    I have been told that the jobs you can see depend on your AVERAGE score per job, not the total number of points. For example, if you lose 2 points on average for each job, your average score would be 10 and you will not be able to see clients requring a score of 11 or 12.

    I've heard that too, but although my average must be fairly low (I have released a few jobs recently), I still seem to see most jobs. Think it is just one of those things, tricky to work out.

    Well, I try my best but have ended up losing points recently. For example, picking up assignments in a hurry (before they disappear) and then having to release them because the dates available on the front page dont match the briefing notes. Also late reports and silly spelling errors :(

    My average score is, and always has been 12 :o but I don't get to see lots of the jobs talked about on here - sometimes think it's 'cos I'm too old... :confused:

    I can't work out how/if the points system works... I don't know if anyone has contacted RE to ask? :rolleyes:

    10 for doing a job
    2 for doing on due date
    -2 for not filing on time (although this can rise to -10, no idea what criteria are used :confused:)
    -2 for releasing a job

    So if you are averaging 12 you must be perfect :A :)

    I was told that mine was 11 recently, but I am not sure if it has slipped further. I can see the Italian Restaurants and hotels - I wonder are there any more brilliant jobs for the perfect MSers on RE?

    Yup... Never released a job, always done the job & completed the report on time - in fact my average will be more than 12 as I've completed the surveys and got a few extra points for those... :D

    Never seen the Italian restaurants and only ever seen 2 hotel jobs - one of which I managed to get...

    You lose a point for every 10 words they have to change in your report as well I think, and you also lose points if they can't get hold of you when they need to (think they deduct points if they have to leave 3 messages).

    I've only completed two jobs for RE (such a newbie!), but both were done on the original date and completed on time so recieved full marks! And done a few surveys.

    Hopefully the job I did last night will go through okay and then that'll be three jobs successfully completed! Although I did reschedule this one once.
