  • Yes I have - people on here have clearly stated that they get loads of jobs with Bare, and then others like me hardly get any - that seems to me to be proof wouldn't you say? :confused:

    I dont think thats proof Lisa ..... maybe a call or email to Bare would remind that you are still about and looking for work , have you been registered with them long ?
    I registered in March and have had on average one job a month, 2 have been car circuits admittedly so look like more than one job , but I certainly dont get all the jobs I apply for.

    Hardly. :rolleyes:

    Believing the written typed word of faceless people isn't proof IMHO.

    Why don't you ring BARE and ask :confused:

    you beat me to it... !

    I have spoken to them, and I still don't get jobs - other people have had the same problem including some people who I know personally who aren't on these boards. I know you aren't trying to critise me but I have been with Bare for many years and never done well with them so I won't be chasing them up when I can get work with other companies.
    That is proof enough for me, even if its not enough for others.

    Some people are a bit blunt on here - not you - and I am glad you are getting work but that is not the experience me and my friends have with Bare.

    Nope was definately not criticising , just trying to help, I can understand that must be frustrating if youve been registered with them for years and been in touch with them too. I do try to come across OK on the boards here ... its not always easy though is it , the way you say the words in your head are not always the way other people interpret them ...

    Have to say i totally agree there, if you are trying to help someone, they then interpret a very different way.......sometimes use capital letters which can be deemed as "SHOUTING"!! :rolleyes:

    Anyway, with regards to Bare, i have only had about 3 jobs with them i normally find that they only call me and ask me to do a job at the end date, to me that seem as though someone has let them down last minute......could be wrong though... :confused:

    Bare *are* odd.
    I don't think it's anything personal though-just they allocate differently.
    Even after doing a job for them they rang and asked me to do-I got nothing from months-then suddenly jobs started getting confirmed-for no apparent reason. I don't think it's playing favourites though-as I did nothing different and the jobs suddenly started coming. At least their jobs are transparent unlike other companies who hold jobs back as bribes.

    If it's the question I got stuck on, you need to ask their name.

    Actually they do:rolleyes:

    I was hoping to get a drinks visit a while back (decent pay and reimbursement). It was pending, so I rang up to ask if I was going to get it as I'd done several of these elsewhere without a problem.

    I was told that if I did another job (poorly paid, miles away and inconvenient) I would be given the drinks job.

    I declined.

    What really !!!!!! me of about this kind of underhand behaviour by some MS companies, noticeably "Gap" is that it blows open their "excuse" for poor fees. The fee is low (so they say) because you should be passing by there anyway so no need to make that special journey.

    So the reason I don't take the low fee inconvenient job is that I'm not passing there. So why should it be pushed on me so that I get given the job which I will be passing by anyway!
