Thanks again, managed to upload them both.

i do have another question, on ESA have long does it take them to email and say you have the assignment?

it usually takes them about a week i have found and they normally email you to tell you, luckily they usually give me the ones i apply for i was lucky with esa as i had just joined and they needed people urgently to do two think 25 jobs which i agreed to do so now i supose they give me stuff as i have done jobs before for them.

tern on the other hand :mad: they have some fantastic jobs and they never accept me! i joined a few weeks ago and have applied for about 5 but they always go to someone else. although most of them you can only shop once every few months so eventually i might get a shot! :rotfl:

Hello everyone,

It's been a few months since I was on here, it's nice to see some of the old faces and lots of new ones too :hello:. I had time off for summer hols and then a big operation so I am just starting to pick up work again, which is nice.
Started off today with a burger breakfast which was well worth getting up for, superb floor show, the only thing missing was the fireworks :rotfl:. One poor chap nearly got bowled off his feet because the staff member was so enthusiastic about opening the door for him. I'm sure she must have been an olympic hurdler the way she legged it across the restaurant to get to the door, and all this while she was smiling at me :rotfl:.
The whole thing was so false that the husband of the couple on the next table asked his wife what on earth was going on. She told him that they must be having checks done lol. What a farce but it was worth it for pure entertainment value as always lol.

I have got 2 catalogue shops for ABAi and 2 shops for GFK this weekend. I am hoping to do them all today but if not there's always tomorrow!

Have a good weekend everyone x

tern rejected my application.

thats strange, is the esa job still showing in your applications? it will move to the inbox if you have been accepted. i usually apply the day they go on and as they dates are a few weeks away, even with them taking a week to accept me i still know well in advance

i like abai, they are prob my fave

My theory with esa is they keep your application there in case the person it is allocated to drops the jobs; you are kept as reserve along with who ever else has applied.
I have been lucky with them and wonder if what you put in the application box is a factor. I always put the day I can complete it and the key facts from the brief and I also reckon that if you can do it earlier rather than later in their required times, then you have more success. oops!...I might be limiting my future work with them.....

It's still showing in my applications, will just have to wait and see if it moves. I'm going to apply for a couple more with them fingers crossed.

Do Abai only offer jobs in large cities? I have been signed up for a while now but not a single job in a radius of 20 miles from me. I have a few smaller towns I can easily visit but no city locally.

Most of the jobs are main town centres but not all are large cities. Some of the companies are high street and others are on edge of town retail parks. some petrol jobs are in smaller community areas. You just have to keep logging in and looking what's near you and tie them in with other work if possible, although not always fortunate that happens. Don't forget you can look at the booked visits; you might see some in your area and you can set yourself as a reserve shopper - sometimes pays off.
