Where have all the jobs gone? I have logged on to all sites I am registered with (quite a few) and cannot find any work! Naturally there are some fast food but need other jobs to go with these to make some money!!!:eek:

Even the ESA which is usually loaded with opportunities seem to have gone very quiet...

suggestions please:)

I wondered about ESA - being new to MS'ing I wasn't sure how often new jobs came up. This time last week there were over 2000 jobs, now just over 200.

I'm still waiting for 2 companies to approve me so I can check them but guess as I joined up over the weekend it's gonna be next week now.

I think it's because there are so many new MSers signing up with companies that the jobs go really quickly now. Another reason may be because we're nearing the end of the financial year - it was quiet this time last year too. It will hopefully hot up again mid April.

How I wish I'd known about MSing when I worked at Heathrow and had an airside pass for two different (and the busiest) terminals for my part time job.

I used to work in an airport as well and do often think the same things. However, I also remember that one of the terms of an airside security pass is that you agree only to use it for the actual reason why you have it in the first place. So with hindsight I appreciate I probably wouldn't have bothered with any of the decent jobs because they'd be really tricky to do with an airside pass... But we can dream!

How wonderfully condescending:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


Glad to see you've appointed yourself as the arbiter of what is acceptable to Gap & RE (I only took those as examples as I thought they were odd on favourite that more posters were or had at some time been registered with those 2 companies than any others.)

Not disagreeing with your points re: keeping confidentiality just reiterating what I said in the earlier post if ABAI are likely to close this thread due to a poster saying they have a new supermarket client(The original post by Angel13), then 'theoretically' its an odds on certainty they'll close it due to the google link in the opening post, as to be honest you might as well post an actual list of ABAI's clients.

No, just trying :cool: to re-iterate what others have said in that everyone has signed up to a confidentialltiy agreement.

Now, if you do not heed this and Blab about what fees you get and what client you shop for a particular MS CO then their rivals will have this info (without a staff member signing up for the rival ) at no cost and up to date.

The rival will then have info to approach client and undercut to get the contract.

Result is
No FEE
No FUEL
140 Q's job and
an expense allowance that is a "contribution" to the required spend.

Not rocket Science

Hi

can I ask a question regarding fuel costs again please?

I was using the Michelin route planner website yesterday and came across a handy tool. it seems you can add an option to see how much fuel you will use on your journey. For example it asks you the current price of fuel per litre and your size of car. it automatically tells you the cost 1 way.

Would you say that this is an accurate way to record for tax purposes. Does anyone use this as a guide?

A few people have told me how to calculate fuel costs but it's going over my head to be honest. My car does 50 miles to the gallon. other than that I'm leaving the costs blank at the minute.

Can anyone please answer the following question- thanks!

If a job pays a fee and has a minimum spend of £25, is the spend reimbursed? Or is it wishful thinking.....?

it depends on the company and job and it should make it clear whether it is. i know abai do some visits where there is a minimum spend and the fee does not cover it. only worthwhile therefore if its something you want anyway or are allowed to take back for a refund!
