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?

I seem to remember one of them is a tricky double negative, making you think it was the wrong answer. HTH

I've got about a 60% success rate for getting jobs from ESA. Most of the ones I haven't got have been a distance away. Was actually surprised to see a job for the next town up the road vanish from my allocations.

But then I've never been allocated a job from Bare or React. 0% success rate with them. I know some shoppers do well with these companies but they're the ones that I'm thinking of giving up on.

Hey Borders,

I think I did a lot of the egg jobs down your way last week - Eyemouth across to Melrose and everything in-between. Some nice countryside down your way!

Yes, as Mharz says most of them should be on the front page of this thread, if you are missing any, list them on here - asking for a loist of everyone would take ages!

Are you having to re-request your password for every site or can you remember them? I was lost when I got my Netbook, 'cos my laptop stores my passwords, didn't know a single one of them, LOL!!!

I have got to the login page through the links on this thread but so far just have 5 of them - TNS i just cant see anywhere and a few others. I'm signed up to 25 though! Have 5 core ones so am back in the game a little now!

Same here with passwords. You just never know them when you let the computer store them all. New pc arriving 16th so gotta retrieve all my logins and move onto this laptop till then. such grief!

I have all my passwords saved on an excel spreadsheet with the links stored on my memory stick. Its handy for between classes at uni just to do a quick check for jobs. Don't know how I would manage without it because my spreadsheet is on the same spreadsheet so I always know what I've already got booked.

I even bought the memory stick on an MS job so its defo paid for itsself HTH

I've gone from 7 active applications last night to 3... and not been allocated any of them. One was a paint job very close to home (second time I've applied for this one in the space of a couple of weeks! Not sure if it's a weekly thing or someone has let them down... can't remember what dates were specified the first time, so not sure if it's actually the same or not).

The others I didn't get were mainly travel agents & also a clothes one, none too close to home, but I have a few jobs to do for REACT in another town, so was hoping to tie them in. Never mind... was worth a try!

The three I have left are clothing type ones - one in my home town, and the other two in the next closest town... don't think there's a great deal of competition for this one as I seem to get a fair bit of work there!

Re. egg shops - I've noticed a couple have appeared again that I did over the weekend, but the job number / description is slightly different. Def. not re-shops as one of them was already there on Friday (before I'd actually done the job).

Just a quick plea - my motherboard has died and on an ancient laptop till new pc arrives. I cant retrieve the data from my drives until then.

thanks!

Hope you got yourself sorted out.

I have just spent the last half-hour making hard, and back up copies of all my passwords.

Forewarned is forearmed.

And I was up doing the Midlothian and Peebleshire ones about three weeks ago.:)

Would be good if they were a regular shop. Some nice circuits doing them. I think over the last 2 months I've managed to do every egg shop in the Borders except Eyemouth and Chirnside. Still got 3 boxes left in the fridge.
