    I don't get ESA either. I'm in Kent. Have my distance set to 15 miles from my postcode. So why are all the jobs that are showing up in ruddy Ireland ?!!!!!

    Evening....

    Received a call from a company I rarely use offering work buying shoes and returning them again. The shoe company begins with a B and ends in an O

    Anyone know who the MS company is as I cannot find the email confirming the work to me.

    Can't think of what shoe company you mean, sorry!

    It wasn't Amber Arch was it, they are the only company I can think of who I've done a shoe shop with, but that one had the same name as a George Michael song and begins with F and ends with H !!!

    Saw an explanation on here that it is because Ireland doesn't have postcodes. Are you not reading the thread ! (lol)

    We all get those something to do with postcodes I think but not sure. Its the allocation system I really don't understand, it helps to plan ahead and make sure there are a few jobs close together to save on travel costs etc:)

    The bare jobs that require tests to be failed, fees are showing as zero on job details, assume their error?

    I really don't "get" ESA! Apply for loads of jobs tell them why you should be considered and the date you can do the job, have a 100% record on hitting deadlines and have never cancelled a job YET the jobs don't get allocated then the deadline approaches, passes, and then the job is on the board again waiting for shoppers to apply!!!!!!

    I tried emailing stating xxx jobs approaching deadline and not yet allocated, I can do them on xxx day - no reply!

    Can I rate the ESA system for job allocation? They need to be mystery shopped!

    Rant over

    I can see a job in my area thats come back in for the 4th time. If I'd ever applied for it I would be ranting as well.

    Wonder when they'll get desperate enough to treble the fee?
  • Hi Guys, anyone know anything about the optician jobs through T**n? Having had the glasses specially made up for you they want them sending with receipts. Do you get to have them back? I'm guessing not but seems a bit of a waste......

    Thanks for your wisdom in anticipation!
