An egg job appeared on the job board for the same site as 1 that was allocated to me but was yet to be done. So maybe they are not re-shops ??

Yep, I noticed this too - I notice it still has not been allocated, though.

I made an assumption :rotfl:
Thanks for letting me know.
How did you get on with the phone's?
I found the main shops easy but the shop within a shop very difficult to get evidence without risking arrest lol!

I had 5 phones and there was sooooo much to take note of . I made my self a list and stood outside ticking of the ones I could see then went in. I told the MOS that I wanted to research the best phone for me so I made notes as I went along otherwise I would have had them all mixed up in my head. Reports were a doddle to fill in once I had the required info. The photos were ok as they were all in mall. I just whipped my camera out quick and took a quick snap!

The mall job was relatively easy to complete but taking a photo inside another shop, next to the checkouts, with a long queue is not a good look :rotfl:

Hmmm... new alerts thread - but no acknowledgement or thanks to Timne who started off the original...

I spoke to a nice guy this morning and asked specifically about the application process.

Key points were:

They do read the application notes, and will take note of requests
(eg can do if three visits in XX postcode).

Specify the dates that you can do. (All available dates OK)

He did say that "some people seem to apply for everything !" suggesting that if you apply for them all you get nothing.

Allocation dates he was more vague about. No set pattern, but usually just before the start dates.

Just noticed that I didn't get any of the new ESA allocations, oh dear. I didn't apply for all of them just a few that I knew I could do. On another note I've not got any React ones yet, didn't get the sports one

I've just amended the OP of THIS thread to thank him where it gives the link to the Alert thread.

I applied for 17 and they have all disappeared from my account this afternoon, so someone must have!

I'm really annoyed - that must be nigh on 350 jobs I've applied for now with a zero percent success rate. And then they have the AUDACITY to send me an email saying "There are jobs in your area" ... and they're ruddy miles away!

I know I keep saying I'm going to give up and tell them to stuff it but I keep thinking I'll give them one more chance. What DO I have to do!!!! :mad::mad: .

I agree. I have emailed them tonight to say, basically, do you want me to do the jobs or not because I am trying to organise my week!! I'll probably be sacked but if they aren't giving out the jobs, it doesn't matter lol.
