Perhaps we could say 'employment centre'?

A little advice needed on RE please -

I completed my first job on Friday night, submitted the results by 12:00 on Saturday and have just found a job that I can do however it won't let me take it as "Sorry, as a probationary shopper you may only partake in one assignment at a time."

So even though my first job is no longer showing as active is it still umm "active" until they have checked it over or this is a mistake that I should possible contact them about? I don't fancy missing out on a free meal by waiting only to find it's an error.

Thanks muchly!

You need to wait for them to check it, leave it for a day or two and you should be moved to an Active shopper if the report is good enough

I fail to see how else I can post that?

And its not the full client name anyway

Oh, sorry, you missed "plus" off of the end of the name. does that make it ok?

Aside from the debate about there being no point posting alerts for Gfk and GrassRoots jobs (as we get emails from them when jobs are available, and we can't all see the same jobs at the same time like most sites) why not simply post it as "new jobs on Gfk".

Personally, I'd prefer GR and Gfk job alerts not to be posted at all, but that's me.

It is good that you're making an effort to contribute to the community, so please don't think I'm being too hard on you! :beer:

So what about my 'employment agency' idea then?

Mumto2

I've been ms'ing for 4 years now. I'm a full time mum, so for the past 2 years it's been my only source of income.

I've just had a letter from HMRC telling me not to submit any more tax returns.

I feel a bit offended :rolleyes:, my (little) income means a lot to me & I (bizarrely) enjoy filling in the tax returns, surely they could just humour me??

.... runs off to the corner, feeling very insigificant.... :rotfl:
