Arggh this is annoying - I wonder if I have my phone number in my details - maybe there is an issue there.

Edit - no just checked, they have all 3 of my phone numbers.

I did one of the phone calls lat night but can't see any others. Then again when I filled in teh census extra questions I noticed I wasn't saying yes to many things, so they are prob looking for different people.

Just out of interest...has anyone got MSPA Shopper Certification? I notice that a few companies ask for it and wondered if you get any benefits from having it? It looks like it's predominently a US thing, could be wrong though!

I used to have an airside pass for Heathrow for two different terminals-wish I still had it now. Took ages to get and until I got it had to be escorted through security by another member of staff after getting a temp pass every shift. Eventually I got an appointment to be security cleared and weirdly one of the other thirty or so people waiting I'd met at an OU summer school a few years earlier. He worked in an entirely different part of the airport and I never knew he was there too.
I'd think anyone living near an airport who can pick up a part time job in duty free would do very nicely out of airside shops with their pass.

Sometimes companies must put a postcode on an assessment (whether it's a call, email or visit) in order for it to be put on their automated allocation systems, it might just be that your postcode does not fall in the x miles radius of the call postcodes.

Bare I didn't get anything for ages-then they rang me with a last moment job -which I did hoping it would kick start things....it didn't. It took another 5 months of applying and then it suddenly I started getting jobs with them and this month I've earned £80 in fees on completed jobs so far -so really not sure what to tell you except don't assume doing one job for them will improve things (The first job I got a 9 so it certainly wasn't the quality of my work that stopped me getting work from them)

They are a bit of a mare to get started with arent they, still once you get odd ones I find that they are pretty good at allocating me two or three jobs in one location on the semi rare occasions they allocate me any.
