    I think even if you do just one burger job you will be in the draw. Guess they are sick of calling shoppers to do them every month :rolleyes:!

    Ha anyone 'applied' for jobs on ESA, and then they've been removed? What's that all about? Is it to do with what you write in the little box that comes up? What does everyone else put? I just put that I was experienced in this kind of environment and that I was very close by, was this not what they wanted to hear, I wonder???:confused:
  • Woohoo :j

    Just booked a hotel job on RE. Looking forward to a lovely evening on my own with NO KIDS!! (can you tell they have been winding me up today?:mad:)

    Can't wait.

    It means they have been allocated to someone else, I find ESA a bit hit and miss, last month I applied of 7 pharmacies and got 6 this month zero from 10.

    When you do a phone call job you need to call an 0870 number in order to let them record your phone call. I think that's what they're talking about.

    I suspect it goes towards paying for the recording, but don't see why should we have to pay it. Remember to show it as an additional cost on your s/sheet tho.

    Yes, I've applied for them, they've disappeared, and then the next day I get an email telling me the job is available again! I've yet to be accepted for one yet!
