Oh well another RE !!!! up, should be used to it by now.

Have they had a mass cull of staff as everytime I phone up to have a rant I get told "i'm just a temp"

It does accept, but you have to answer one of the questions incorrectly!

My one has a fee and a reimbursement.

The question to get wrong is 'Do you have to approach a staff member immediately?. The answer you need to put is 'YES'

RE have student accommodation assignments, where you have to phone up and then visit.

Please don't accept these as I did them last year and the fee was three times what they are offering this time! It really really is not worth doing them for the fee on offer. Hopefully nobody will accept them and they'll then have to increase the fee.

I know I'm stupid to even think that! But please, don't accept these jobs as they're just taking the mick.

Hi

Can anyone help me with some questions please...pm me if need be:

I have been a shopper for a while now and just joined esa. Can I apply for jobs in bulk? or do I have to apply for them individually?

Also - what sort of wording should I put in to back my reason up for doing the shop?

What are "egg" shops?

Thanks for your help.

Can anyone tell me when RE money is expected in as well - not sure if its due Mon or Tues??

Yes apply in bulk, you have as much (or as little) chance of getting any assigned.

Put whatever you want for your reason, it seems to make little difference as far as we can tell. The last one I got I had just put "I will be in this town on this date and can do the assignment. I have read and understood the instructions". Others have put in mini CVs and still not got the jobs. They are a law unto themselves!:)

Some shops which have a specific purchase requirement are often referred to on this thread by what the item is. You will see what the specified purchase is on the job notes. (usually;))

Don't know about RE money, I hardly ever do anything for them, better fish to fry and all that jazz.:j

Egg shops are jobs for the above client where you have to buy eggs as part of the brief. RE money is showing in my account today but its actually dated monday and I usually put something like 'this is close to my home/work and i can complete on time' or words to that effect

I've applied for 37 of the ESA egg shops!! Only ever done one travel agent for them before, and have applied for over 300 jobs, so not holding out much hope!!

Just off to check if RE money has hit my account too .....

I've just applied for 127 ESA jobs....... I'm off on holiday for the next couple of weeks so figured I might as well go for it!

What's the bet I'll probably get assigned 3.....
