Sorry, first time I have posted in this forum. Not very friendly is it - first impressions and all that!
Tatty - welcome.
You're right, it's not very friendly. It certainly used to be a great place. Maybe later in the month it might be a little better...
As others have said though, two of the main rules are not to mention client names (which includes not being too obvious in your "clues" as to which client) or mentioning fees that could tie up to clients.
Mentioning MS company names is fine though.0 -
All my home and clothes shops have disappeared from my applications, so they must have been allocated. I've not been allocated any, but worth checking your account to see if you've got lucky.0

Many thanks for all those who replied to this impolite comment. I politely asked for the client name to be removed and gave quick answer - that's all I have done. But, I am going to leave it at that with no further comment.0 -

FWIW, I don't think you were being rude/impolite...heck, you even asked nicely which many others wouldn't (not that they have to, mind).0 -
Could somebody kindly explain a little more about these Bare Exams. Have read the breif but a little confused. Whats the exam on? and what type of dates/times (i work full time).
Don't want to apply and waste their time if i cannot do it.I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!0 -

Have you tried using the contact email at the bottom of the job notes? I'm sure they'll be happy to help...0 -
Deedee - if you give them a call and explain that you work Mon - Fri and could do x number of jobs on saturday if they extended the date you might find them very accomodating
I did exactly that last week. I was doing a burger job for Gap, so I phoned ESA and said that if they could extend the dates on some of the egg jobs in the area I was heading for and I had noticed they had been hanging around then I would do all of them on the Saturday. I even negotiated a bit extra on the fee....give it a go!0 -

I don't think it really matters what the subject of the exam is, as you don't need to revise for it (read the briefing again and you'll see why I say this).
Not sure of days/dates/times - i'm awaiting clarification myself.0 -
Have emailed them to ask.I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!0
