    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.....

    3 is more than 0! Which is probably what I'll get out of the 53 I've applied for!!!:mad:

  • 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 .....

    No RE money for me, but I don't think my bank (Halifax) updates at weekends

    You will get three, but they will be three that are furthest away from each other and your home.

    They rang me this week to do an urgent job, and left a message on my home phone but not my mobile. Bit daft as it was too late by the time I got home :mad:
    Happy New Year :beer:
  • Grrr what a completely wasted day. I've got 1 MS to do, plus it's my mums birthday, but instead i'm sitting here waiting for a Sky engineer to turn up. 9-11am he said. My !!!! 9-11, it's now 1pm and i'm still waiting. :mad:
  • Just spotted VERY nice London Hotel visit on RE for 2nite . . . room, meals, drinks and breakfast, all reimbursed. GO FOR IT ! :D
    Shame I can't do....

    I'm with Halifax - sometimes I get credits on a sunday - so may check tomorrow or just hope its there Monday as they I am waiting for quite a bit.
  • I did my first two jobs yesterday and today and found them quite tough. I hope it gets easier with experience???!!!
    I also found that the questions asked on the brief were not the same on the questionnaire. Lucky I was observant but I could so easily needed to go back into the shop!

    Are there any companies that you know of who do football stadium experiences? I know that clubs do employ MS but would like to know how I go about getting the jobs please.

    I am not having any luck with RE, is that because I am on probation? Hope I can get a job soon.

    Thanks for the help so far :rotfl:

    I've applied for 9 egg jobs - out of the other 11 in my area I did 9 last time and two are over the west where i never have reason to go. This time i've put on the note 'I can do this job if done with job XY99 9YX postcode to cover costs' and vice versa for the other job .... see if that works!

    Once your first job has been accepted your status will change to 'active' then you can get as frustrated as everyone else :D

    for the torso shop on RE can you use a voucher to help pay for the purchase. The daily telegraph is offering a £5 voucher for any purchase with no minimum spend. The voucher is valid until 21/02/10.
