I think the crisps and eggs jobs are one and the same. Correct me if I'm wrong folks!

I think the crisp jobs are for an auditing company.

Not sure if it's exactly the same job, but they just phoned me to do one and I said just that

The location is less than 400m from my house so I listened. Then I found it in involved a phone call, a visit and two reports for a tiny fee. I laughed and said it's not worth my time.

It's the kind of money I used to earn on my paper round back in the 80s.:rotfl: I'd 'earn' more money if I turned the heating down and put a jumper on for a few hours.

Good on you. Gosh they don't often phone people begging them to do jobs. What did they say...did they say "Sorry we cannot increase the fee"

You should have said the bit about cutting the heating down!!!

What do they tell said client "E'hm the job wasn't done cos no one was desperaite enough to earn a pittance."

If only MS'rs didn't keep accepting the rubbish RE throw at them we would all be better off. The Woolworth's of the Mystery Shopping world. that lot are.

I've just had a wee panic because I've only got crib sheets for 16.....and then I remember I moved a meal one to Sunday.....phew!!!

So, only 16 to do.....a doddle lol.

I hope it's worth your while and that you don't have to eat too much on these jobs!:eek:

Just out of interest, have you worked out how much you're going to make doing all these assignments?

I have to sit in a nursing home tomorrow and do beauty treatments for the residents for three hours. It's going to make me £80 so I'm not complaining as there's no driving around, finding parking or bleeding reports! A nice respite from MSing for me.

Good Luck anyway, in most cases I'm never that bothered if the job comes up I think the big problem with ESA was the start dates are tomorrow & its a wee bit cheeky leaving it till the very last minute:mad::mad:, can't work that out i've only had 1 job with them & the allocating seems to leave a lot to be desired.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Nup wasn't me that got the jobs. They phoned me an hour ago asking if I will do a travel agent. It is my local one so I said I would do it. I said "Oh funny that I applied for that very one and didn't get it" Oh she said someone else got it but didn't do it. "Oh well" I said maybe you need to look at allocating jobs to shoppers that have never let you down"

Just checked there and the fashion shop ones have all vanished. I am !!!!ed off at them. Hope they peek at this forum as they will know who I am. I once drove all the bloody way up to Fort William and Oban. All I got was petrol for it. No profit or anything. Left at 8am and got back at 6pm...knackered.

So don't anyone think you'll do a job as a favour...cos they are too stupid to appreciate loyalty and certainly dont deserve it. I ain't applying for any more. I have better things to waste time on.

I won't be doing any fast food.....I've never done those types of jobs.

I'll make a fair bit, less petrol and parking.....and grabbing something to eat which I'll have to pay for!:)

That's exactly how I feel about them. I posted a few days ago saying that I did them a favour and received nothing in return. They can go to h*ll! :mad:

I've come to the conclusion that waiting for ESA to allocate jobs is like waiting for my lottery numbers to come up. Hmm.........

My number came up! Got allocated a women's clothing store. 1 out of 350+ !!!!

Is there a reason you are being a pedantic a-hole?? This is a forum for support and help.

I find your post rather nasty, I have stuck to the facts without name calling!

At end of day, an assessor has failed to complete the assignment as per the brief, then asked on a forum to send them a photo of SOMEONE ELSE'S product,

.............now is that the correct and professional thing to thing to do???

NO! :eek::eek:

I will help anyone and have many times on this forum, but there is a big difference between, a newbie posting on wrong area on a forum, or mentioning a name by mistake.

This is totally different, an assessor is trying to cover up a job which was done incorrectly and expecting to be paid for it!!!

Very unprofessional!

ESA have just allocated loads of jobs so the jobs open number has fallen dramatically - hopefully we all get assigned some:)

well done TG!


I used to work for the no name company but found the stuff I was given was lots of work little reward, I then came down with depression and cancelled a job at last minute and said I wasn't working anymore....not sure of it worth trying again. I don't like letting people down so am not sure if I will have a black mark against my name.


Does anyone work for Amber Arch? I used to get nice jobs from them but all of a sudden things have dried up so I sent an email to the allocator and had no reply hmmm
