Comments? Good co-workers but bad management, not given any food/drinks and dont get breaks (horrible to do a 8-9 hour shift without sitting down)

I thought that they have to give you a 15mins break every 4 hours by law, but this site suggests 20mins if over 6 hours. 15mins could be if you're under 18.

Where do you apply for jobs like that.

I've just done my first year without a job. Loan and overdraft gone. Definately need a job next year.

I've done work with FSM and Business Blueprint and they seem pretty reliable. As Giddytimes said, register with as many as possible so you have the best chance of getting the work. They give out the list of visits for the following month on either the first or last week of every month. Make sure you ring them on the day they come out and you'll be at the top of the list. If you're under 25, you can do clothes shop visits and pub visits etc, but if you're over 25 you can do hotel visits as well.

The website for FSM is http://www.fsmarketing.uk.com/ and you can find the number to call there. Can't find Business Blueprint, but try googling it and if you still can't find it then let me know and I'll see if anyone I know has it.

I quit my job a few weeks ago, because I'm going to France to work as a campsite courier for the summer, but here's what I did all this year:

So what do you do? Sales Associate for a mobile phone network
Full/part time? Part time
How's the pay? £6.92 p/h + 15% performance-related bonus
Enjoy the job? Yes
Comments? A lot of money, for doing very little - we had very few customers despite our city-centre location.
Best job you ever had? This one
What's the easiest job for the best pay? This has only been my second job, but this one.
How do you juggle your studies? I only worked on Saturdays and Sundays, leaving the rest of the week for uni
What's the max hrs per week you can cope with? I did 16 hours per week with this one, but I don't think I could cope with much more.
