I'm having problems as well. I click to apply for an assignment and an error message comes up saying that I cannot apply

I'm having the same problem. Everything I tried to apply for this evening I got an error message saying I'm not eligible for the job. Why do they show them to me in the first place then :mad:

Took one of the eye jobs for today because I had another job in the same area. I booked using a false name and address. Anyway, they found a major problem with one of my eyes and asked for my doctors details cos I really needed to get it sorted urgently! They wanted a second opinion from the hospital and needed to refer me... What a dilemma! I just said I wasn`t sure of the details cos I was a new patient and I would drop them in or give them a ring so the optremist could get in contact. I phoned the MS company and explained what had happened,cos the opticians will think it odd that I have not got back with my doctors details.
I have another MS one now booked locally for tomorrow, using my real details this time....so fingers crossed it all goes well and I can get sent to the hospital asp.:(

I hope you get it sorted quickly and find it's nothing too serious. At least you are getting a second opinion by having that other appointment booked for tomorrow.

I applied for a few jobs last week from ESA, one of which was in a area I was in today only, never got any of them !, but got home today and got a phone call asking me to do one of the jobs I had a applied for and never got !, it seems the person who got the job did not do it !, I explained that I was only in that area today and would not be back for a while, but he was very pushy with a 'Why not attitude', I told him that maybe if they had given me the job in the first place we would not be having this conversation.

Anyway I don't think I will apply for anymore ESA jobs as I like to plan my work and don't like their system of wait and see if you get the job or not !.

Well, I hope everything's OK. Let's hope the second optician picks up on the same thing and you can get it looked at.

I am only doing one optician, and with real details, for similar reasons: I already have a hospital appointment booked for minor surgery and am wondering what they will say when I have the eye test! The trouble is, when you use your real details, you get inundated with reminders for years afterwards. I now have trouble working out when I am really due for an eye test because I did so many opticians jobs at one point. I really can't remember which of may pairs of glasses came from where, either!

I did the same opticians 8 months ago for a different company and used my real details. I used the presciption to buy specs elsewhere but they are the worst ever...can`t see a bloomin thing, especially name badges! Thought I was being clever this time! I wasn`t recognised ! The Optremist I saw only works there one day a week, so now I am hoping that he doesn`t work in the one I am going to today
I am gonna go through the motions as before and hope they pick up the problem. They tested me 3 times yesterday just to make sure the test results were accurate...then sat me down in a room and explained what they had found...I was in a terrible state when I had to go through the frame choices...I just wanted to get out of the place and onto my phone. Gave them a good report for their caring attitude!

Hope all goes well for you today Squeaky, and whatever the problem is, hope you can get it sorted out quickly.

Oh dear, that's a bit of a worry - It must be good that you are having so many eye tests that they can pick it up, though.
I think if it was me, I would have pannicked, abandoned any pretence of mystery shopping and come clean
