    Have applied for a pile of jobs in the past 6 months and still need to crack my ESA cherry.

    Maybe using a song lyric could work for me - nothing else has shifted them to allocate me any jobs.

    Maybe the thing with ESA is not what you write but how you write it - capital letters, full stops, comma's in correct place etc - they may just be checking out grammar rather than content. Just a thought!;)

    Agh, I'm trying to do the test for a GFK bank job, and it's telling me that one or more of my answers is incorrect. I have read the notes a hundred times. Any idea what it could be?
    If you PM me the bank, I'll try and help.

    Check the notes on these before accepting them.

    The job involves entering leisure club for most of the locations, and then making a purchase and return.

    If you are not a member of the club in question, might be bit awkward to escape without being hijacked into a membership hard sell!!

    Great Minds think alike,:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: just spent a few moments wondering how I'd get out of that one.:eek::eek::eek:
    I think it will be very tricky even for a seasoned MSer. :)

    You may find that the store is in the foyer of the club so you do not actually enter the Gym.

    I did one of these last year (none of these locals though) and the shop was in the foyer so no need to enter the turnstyles.
    Got a nice pair of trainers-and a free Gait check on the treadmill.
    Pity I had to reurn the shoes:cool:

    I have done these many times and never had to go anywhere near the sports club people. The ones I have visited are located inside the sports club buildings, but you can use the shop freely without problems.

    The return of goods is by post to the MS company.

    Well done! I have 5 booked for Wednesday - 4 in the morning, and one pizza delivery in the evening. I'm pretty limited to Wednesday mornings right now, but can also do the odd Saturday or late afternoon. I now live 45 minutes from my old home, so everything is new - shopping centres etc. I hope that I'm getting my locations right!
