The ice cream jobs (and the cookie jobs) have gone elsewhere. I am led to believe that the phone company programme has ended! There is really not much on CRI for me at the mo, but the care home jobs are lucrative: as I've said before, the fees are creeping up and by next week a lot of them may well be quite impressive! :)

I gathered they had as I check the site every so often and haven't seen them for ages and know others do the phone ones.

Oh well, thanks anyway - might as well delete them then!

The other one I had down was a shop that did "fancy arrangements that you could eat" and it was only open for a few months here - must delete that one too then!

Thanks for that anyway!

The one job I can see is the independent phone manufacturer thats name is a fruit....
And that is the only client they have in my area, the care homes are too far away.

You have let me down.;) I was really looking forward to seeing the outcome. I just cannot understand your reluctance to continue with the assignment. :rotfl:

Yeah I know, sorry. Next time if there's one about a five minute drive from my house I'll do it but otherwise I can't see the point. Would love a pizza job as we order them every weekend!

I'm still struggling with the test .....earlier someone said one was about not asking unnecessary questions.....that's not even one of the option in the test I' m doing lol!

UPDATE......finally passed.....and I'm not even sure how lol.


FURTHER UPDATE.........it let me put in all my personal details, but won't let me search for jobs as it says I haven't passed the test.!!!

Perish the thought that they might get a bit better.

I did an energy drink visit for them to a well known pub chain last week for a decent fee and a reimbursement which actually covered the cost of my lunch there.

The report took about 15 minutes to do it was so straightforward.

A few weeks ago they sent me to a shop on a day it was closed and paid me a double fee for a revisit - WITHOUT ME EVEN ASKING FOR IT!

Apart from that I agree they are crap.

I can see all the care homes throughout the UK but no fruity phones anywhere - and haven't for ages so maybe I'm too old now as I've definitely seen them in the past which is why I pre-assigned them....

I may just keep that info on there then just in case.........:)

It was only the ice cream/cookie ones that I ever got the emails about though, and a few emails about referring other shoppers, but that was last year.

I must have the same test as you Deedee - I thought I was losing the plot when I couldn't see that answer!
I'm going to have another attempt at it when I get back from work later tonight. It doesn't help that for some reason my computer won't open the information I need to answer the test questions...:(

There are two tests!

The one we struggled with and then another one with the "unnecessary questions" bit.

If you need any help, pm me.
