It's business.
If the money (or other benefits) aren't good enough, say no, and they might make them better next time.0 -
Aside from the Companies on the front page, are there any other good ones that people regularly use?0

Does anyone have much experience with PIP? I have my first bank job with them on Sat and really don't want to cancel it, but am feeling really worst for wear at the moment and can't see me being better by the weekend. What are they like if you cancel a job?0

I think with Swine Flu going round, the MS Companies are going to expect that some jobs are going to be cancelled last minute due to sickness at the moment. Surely its to be expected?
My instinct says your health should ALWAYS come before any job.TWBM 2010 Wishlist:

Many thanks for all your replies. Much appreciated. :beer:
I never did a test for them I believe I had to fill in a questionnaire in a fair amount of detail.'Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.' :cool:

Does anyone else get frustrated that when most MS companies ring you, it comes up as Private Number? I hate answering calls from Private Numbers - especially when I'm at work. I rarely answer, and figure that if it's that important, they'll leave a message.
I imagine I'm probably missing out on job offers, but I'd probably only end up turning them down anyway.TWBM 2010 Wishlist:
