A couple of things...
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I might want to move my bank account to a different bank in a different town from where I live?

I applied for a job with ESA and told them I would do it on a certain day, however the range is for 3 days. Do I have to stick to my chosen day, or can I do it on any of the 3?

I know you guys seem to know when certain clients are being uploaded with certain agencies - how do I get a piece of this information?

Lastly (I think), does it get busier over the lead up to Xmas, or slower?

Thanks in advance you kind peeps.

Sorry - just thought of another.....

I've had a phone call taken off me with RE. I got an emal from them to say it was given to me in error and has been taken from me at their client's request. Does anyone have a clue why? I've emailed them, becuase I would like to do these in the future, but as yet no response.

I would say you work locally to the MS bank, and you never get to visit your old bank due to your working hours.

I think you can do the job on any day within the time frame. I've jiggled jobs around on ESA and they've been fine with it.

I find that MS work slows down in December, but merchandising and auditing work stays busy, especially for high turnover stock as the clients want to make sure their displays are well stocked.

I'd go for being really unhappy with some kind of aspect of your current bank, and that you work somewhere near/spend a lot of time during the working week in the area of the new branch.

In terms of knowing when uploads are going to happen, we don't, but generally RE upload gradually from about 7-11pm sometimes later most evenings. Gap have fairly regular monthly uploads. We guess but generally subscribe to the alerts thread (somewhere around here) so when you see new jobs on any site you post there and everyone else gets and e-mail with the info and hopefully get the jobs!

Can't help with your other questions though

Thanks for your replies guys. I've managed to find the alerts thread, but how do I "sign up" to it?

I said that i was finding it hard to keep on track of my spending and when bills came out so would like a seperate account to pay some money in each month that i can spend and keep track of. i also just say that i am working in the area for a week or two.

i have a few jobs for esa that need to be done today-fri and was planning on doing them all today but ran out of time. i called them and they said that as long as they are all done by fri its fine. she said they didnt need to make a note of it.

This happened to me yesterday too, and I have previously done several for them (all paid in full), so I have no idea why. I'm sure they'll be back in a couple of months...

Edit: although mine is still showing on my current jobs list on RE, so not really sure whether it has gone or not. If it's still there is a couple of weeks I'll email them, but I've not had a reply from them about any other query yet, so I won't be holding my breath!

not sure if I'm allowed to ask, but can someone give me a referral link to a few companies please or do i need to find them myself?

Am already registerred with grassroots and just signed up to consumer intelliegence.

Thanks

Yeh, mine was showing for a day or so too, but it's gone now. I'd just like to know the reason, so I could do something about it, cos I really enjoy the phone ones.
