That list changes, if your city/town isnt listed it means no jobs in that area

Also have you checked under the shopping centre or street name as sometimes they are not under the town name.

Thanks DebtHater - just managed to pick up my first GR job!!!! Coincides with another job I have in that area that day so bonus. Only downside is that it's a travel agents... and I'm so desperate to go on holiday but other half can't get time off work so I'll be getting my hopes up over nothing!

Thanks again though!

No problem

Only reason I didnt take it for myself is I have already done that branch twice and thought they might recognise me if I keep going in there

A tip though, give them a fake phone number otherwise all you will have for 2 weeks after is them phoning up to see if you have made a decision.

Only noticed it by chance too - the GR email was a bit delayed this time

I've just applied for my first BARE jobs. Fingers crossed. I know I haven't done any assignments for them but I'm hoping because I've done the first training test for them that they might have some faith in me... will do the English test tonight to increase my chances!

Good luck ! Hope you get an assignment with them . My first job with them was a 'throw her in the deep end first' car circuit ..... pretty cruel of them I think ! :rotfl:
Ive applied for a couple today too , really trying to drum up some work for July....

In the job search box? If so, it'll only show up if there is a visit available in that area...I think!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too then. I'm too young at the moment to do Car Circuits (trying to get my other half to have a go!) but that's does sound like a nerve-wracking first shop! Might need a bit more resilience from salesmen before I do that (and a few added years of course!).

The ones just gone up sound interesting though... fingers crossed I get one.

I've applied for the coffee ones as well. Fingers crossed. I never get anything from them :mad:

And I've just picked up another GR job - double check if you didn't pick up a job an hour or two ago as it looks like new jobs (still travel agents) have popped up too.

Now I have another booked in the same shopping centre, on the same day! Mystery Shopping Assignment Aligning - love it!
