    I have a couple of stamp jobs tomorrow but only seem able to print out the first 2 pages of the brief even though I can see the pages? The rest print out blank, anyone else had this problem? Is there a way around it short of writing it out by hand?


    I use bullzip, which puts all my briefs & questionnaires to pdf without any prob. It sets itself on your pc as a printer. You click print, select bullzip & it transforms the doc into pdf which you save on your pc. Its free & fab!

    Afternoon all

    Just a quick query to you old timers (in the MS way obviously!) is there an pattern to the timing of posting jobs with various companies? or do they actually post stuff at the most random times to try and fool us:confused:

    Thanks

    Totally and utterly random, it's the luck of the draw whether you're online when the "good" jobs come on, esp with RE

    RE often seem to post from 8pm onwards from Monday - Thursday.

    Gap did seem to have a pattern for the stamp shops (Sunday mornings about 4 weeks apart) but have changed that in recent months.

    Abai post in batches during the week. With ABai they sometimes put different clients on on the same day, so if you've seen an alert for one client then worth checking the other clients later that day.

    Grassroots post individual jobs during weekdays, worth a look at around 10am and 3pm I find.

    GFK - keep checking as often as you can as their jobs come and go quickly. However if you've been offered a bank that's a distance away then hang on and you will quite likely be offered a nearer one if you wait a few hours.

    Just my own findings and definitely not guaranteed, your best bet is to keep an eye on the alerts thread.

  • And I was just thinking Gap were taking some sort of break over the holiday season and not releasing any jobs, when all of a sudden we get stamps sandwiches and burgers all at once. All we need now is a few bookies and i'm a happy girl :D

    I think I've got fewer sitting in my applications folder, but haven't been assigned any yet. But you're right it is getting close, fingers crossed they are assigned tomorrow.
