Just read the changes to the Think 21 jobs... not impressed. And what is the point of specifying the other items you buy - I always assumed the point of having you buy the other things was to avoid drawing attention to the alcohol, by mixing it in with other items. Now it'll look like you've just come in to get alcohol and they'll be more likely to ID you IMO...

Did you get paid for the jobs where you made that mistake though?

i realised and rectified so i dont know what you can do, probably best to email them and then they can just change it as its a genuine error.

Has anyone tried rescheduling a shop on GAP today? The site seems to freeze everytime I click the submit button and I've been trying all day! Starting to get worried that I won't be able to reschedule it so it won't get done and I'll get a bad mark against me.

I am now worried did some jobs between 16-28 june and I was not sent invoices for these to complete. is it normal for them to go over to end of july???

They do two pay runs a month. You may be sent invoices for these around 10th July with payment sent around the 15th.

Yeah exactly. and a 'light snack!' the main advantage of doing these was for some shopping. I am not going to answer to their please near the end of the month and travel all over the place to do them now...their loss:mad:

I've just been offered my first job with OC, but when I look at it, the briefing seems really...well....brief!! I've read it a couple of times now, and i'm not really sure what they're asking me to do! Has anyone else had any experience with them? I didn't really want to turn it down as its a really good fee!

If youre not sure call them. But having had experience of them you need to write a lot of detail on their scorecards!

I think I'll probably still do them, but I'll dig my heels a bit more at the end of the month and point out that I'm not impressed with the change of scenario and I'll just need a bit more of an extra fee, won't I?
