How do others work round e*a ??? i apply for loads of jobs, an quite a few are well in advance of the date to be carried out, they don't let you know till a few days before most of the time weather you have them or not, which is really annoying as you cant plan your days/weeks/mths properly , ( i do like to plan ahead ) ...like this mth I applied for quite a few, and they gradually disappeard until I only 5 left, while checking through my other ms company's i found a few jobs for those dates, so thinking the rest of my jobs from them would disappear ... I think you can guess the rest.... oh yes .. later that day they allocated me all 5 , sod's law, so i had to reject them as there was know way I could fit them in, which was really annoying as if i had known earlier I could of worked round them...Grrrr what do others do ?? i don't suppose there's nothing really you can do, just wish they would allocate earlier...

Ooops, apologies for punctuation/spelling...:o just checked it quickly now it's submitted should of checked BEFORE I submitted,

Some of my areas go very quickly and others hang around. Then I get the begging phone calls so can up the anti a bit! I was told that in one of the areas there is not a single shopper. Might be worth me moving....lol

As far as I'm aware no travel costs are reimbursed. Just the fee and the reimbursement for purchase.

I must learn to type quicker...!!!

Thanks. I had someone phone me, not very clear as their english wasn't great. Booked me in for 2 travel Agent ms and didn't let me know where they were. Looks like it'll cost me more to do them than I'll get paid after travel and parking.

CONFIDENTIALITY is something MSers really need to bear in mind. Please don't mention fees or client names on this thread as neither the MSing company nor the client being shopped will be very happy about their names being discussed on here.

The fundamental issue with this is that MSing is a very competitive business and if an MSing company finds out which company shops a particular client (and even for how much) then it puts that contract in jeopardy. This, therefore means that the competition between companies will always mean lower fees for us, the shopper.

I didn't mention how much or the client, I was just asking a genuine question as I needed help :think:

Woohoo, I am a happy bunny! Just been allocated 4 egg jobs!!!! Wow 4!!! I can join the egg gang now! I kept the day free, keeping my fingers crossed that I may be allocated at least one of the jobs. Got a job with RE on the same day which ties in nicely with one of the towns I'll be in.
