    hi tractor girl... can you please tell me the good abai jobs!

    karamelRose i too went to Warwick Business School and honestly LOVEDDDDDDDd it!

    Awww wow! That's good to hear! It seems like a lovely place to be anyway, I think I knew it was the place for me from the first time I went - it just felt like home even back then!

    I'm a little worried I'll find the first few weeks tedious, as I'm a bit older than most Uni students from school and I've lived away from home before and from visiting my friends when they started Uni - it seems the first few weeks of "newfound freedom" can be a bit wild.

    I'm a bit old-at-heart and feel past my wild days but I'm sure I'll get back into the swing of things! Drag the boyfriend along too!
    TWBM 2010 Wishlist:
    1. Nintendo Wii
    2. An MP3 Player for my Boyfriend
    3. Some nice food!

    I'm guessing it's pretty much like one I did recently-in which case I'm envious. It was fun and very well paid.
    These jobs usually get offered once you have a record with the company rather than you apply for them though for those wondering.

    Yep that's the one. Only I've not been offered Bluewater this month - who's got it????!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Thanks Angel - just picked up a fashion store to coincide with the three jobs I already have in the same shopping centre on Saturday!!!!
    VERY EXCITED! 4 is the most jobs I've done in one day before, beating my previous record of 3 on Sunday!

    Where are you from Angel I think from what you have said before you must be quite close to me? I am near to canterbury so would only really do bluewater if I get a shed load for one day .....which might be possible at the end of July it seems ;)

    Im in Ashford - got my day in canterbury on thursday though (just got another job:j so now back up to 8!!). Debthater is also in ashford.

    Yep, they screen you via the other jobs and if you fit certain criteria they will contact you and offer the jobs to you.

    I can pass new names on to them but as most of you are regsitered with ABAi anyway there isnt really any point and its a waste of everyones time.

    Just hang on in there and keep doing the "usual" ABAi jobs!

    I think you'll struggle to spend more than 15 minutes in these! I've done a few and really love these jobs as they are so straight-forward. Even when I walk right round the entire place twice and buy a number of items I still manage it in less than 15 minutes - usually around 10-12 minutes.

    I hope so as I have tons of these booked and I am worried they will be horrendous especially as I dont know lots of the supermarkets! :o

    Oh I thought we were all meant to be helping each other out on this forum, my mistake.

    try ABAi as well - but bear in mind i for example have used them for food and you do not get a reimbursement. fine if you are there doing other work though :)

    New Bank calls on GFK look suspiciously like those Goddam awful ones on TNS the other month!

    ETA: And I'm definitely not going to do them, they expect us to call our own bank, discuss our own financial details, and then record it so they can listen to it? For that measley fee, NOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!!!!
