Okay thank you, I just thought it strange as sometimes the suburbs I want are in the list and other times they're not so I assumed if they were in the list there would be jobs that I could accept for them. Thank you again!

I think, if the suburb appears in the list there are jobs there, but maybe ones you cannot accept for some reason. I actually find it much easier to search my client first.

Hi everyone I was wondering if you'd be able to help me, I keep seeing jobs for RE in the ALERTS thread in my area and phone calls which I assume have no bearing on your location, but when I go into RE and log into my home page it says no avaliable assignments? Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry if I'm being a bit stupid!

Many thanks Naomi

I have another question, sorry to be a pain! But I've just signed up to Abai and was wondering how I looked for jobs on the website? I'm probably being incredibly dense I know!

On the homepage, you should see a list of clients. You click on the client, then do a search to find available assignments. If you want to see all areas, then put * in the search box.

If you don't see any clients on the front page, then PM me and I will send you some links to set them up.

It might be that there aren't any jobs in your areas, also they do tend to go quite quickly (apart from the rubbish pubs). Have you done your first job for RE yet? If not, then your status will be Probationary, and this limits the jobs that are available to you.

Sometimes the jobs go on in waves as well, so you might see a job a bit later than in other areas. Keep looking, and you will see some jobs eventually. If you are Probationary, it is best to snap up the first bearable job that you see, just to get it over and done with, then you will be able to see more work.

Hi thank you for your response, I only have one client on there but there isn't any jobs with them unfortunately but I've seen other people talking about a whole host of other clients so if there's any links you could send me that would be amazing! :j

Thank you very much, yes I am probationary so must be that, I live in Southampton (south east) doesn't appear to be much work in this area. Boo hoo. I am looking in the right place then I guess? Homepage - avaliable assignments?

Thanks again

Uhm ... "Unexpected error" ????? As all regulars on this thread know, with RE this error is totally EXPECTED!!!!!

They should change that TG to:-

Due to the fact our IT staff haven't got a clue we are experiencing our daily server down. Anyone with results still to go on....tuff. Anyone who had almost completed a report and it has vanished....mega tuff. And don't bother phoning to complain as we will just repeat the mantra....I shall forward your comments to the It department. ( who will do hee haw about it)

I've got 3 to do for them today, one to a bank and 2 to power suppliers.

I'm struggling with the Test for the bank job though. I know I've put the right answers as I've got the briefing notes open in a different window but it keeps telling me I've got at least one wrong. Can anyone help me?

ETA: Don't worry - I've done it now!

TG is that the business account bank job. I am about to do the test now so if I get stuck you can sort me out.:beer:
How to you put the results on GfK now for bank jobs as you now have to enter the results and wait for your follow up telephone call.
