Well the posh make-up is gone out of my applications already! Are you supposed to click somewhere else to self allocated (ie not the apply button??)

I got rejected as well
These jobs were not on self allocation.
I'm going to sit back and see how this pans out now....

I think the HMRC might be very interested if he is declaring income under false names - if he is earning over a certain amount, he might be eligable for a higher tax band than he is currently in. Also, if any of the MS companies found out he would almost certainly be sacked.

I don't know all the facts but I know the bank accounts are all in his name and address and are all correct, the MS companies don't ask for a account name just Sort Code and Account number (At least on mines they don't), and he is declaring the income under his name and I also know he only makes about £100 Per Week doing MS as its only part time few days a week, so we are not talking mega bucks, its just the principle of the thing I feel is wrong. He also appears to be doing it to 3 companies.

Also, I was told the big contract they have for golden eggs, banks, travel and dead places are not being put up until after Easter..........:eek:
So there won't be that much on this next week or so, maybe a few licence jobs and stuff.

Hopefully they'll put the historical and coffee up in the meantime though, I can't remember seeing either of these for a while. And maybe this will mean im in with a chance of actually getting one of the historicals for once!

TERN have asked me if I know any contact lens wearers under age 45 with a current prescription under two years old.

They are desperately short of shoppers to visit an outlet and allow a trainee to test their eyes for contacts.

Anyone who wants the email address for the allocator of these shops feel free to PM me.

What is the point in having a business mystery shopped and then disputing the findings?

Head office dictates that every store be MS to see how service/customer levels are. This impacts on sales etc.

A bad report reflects the store badly. It indicates that 1) staff are not being trained properly 2) not enough staff are employed and 3) the managers of the store are responsible.

All staff are on 'per hour', the store manager is salaried. Anything to do with the store comes back to the store manager. A good store manager gets promotion, the company car, sabaticals, better holidays etc. Things get sweeter for the store manager if they get a good report. However if they receive a bad report then rather blame THEMSELVES they blame staff at the till, the window cleaner, the MS.

However, I used to work for a company that was MS by GYP. The MS lied in thier report as we looked at CCTV footage following a bad report. I was working that shift and KNOW for a fact everything was good. The time frames were wrong. At the time the person said they were at the till they werent as it was a young lad of 10 getting an ice cream!. I remember it well as he dropped the cone on the floor and our DA staff slipped on it and I had to fill out a accident form with the time on. No one came to the till point for a good 4-5 minutes after that as it was a quiet afternoon. The report came back void. I dont know how they got away with it as Im sure for burger jobs you have to submit a receipt?

So, does anyone know of any other companies who want to employ youngsters like me?

Nah, you've got all the good ones there. I miss being young enough to do those jobs so so badly - used to make a small fortune out of it.

I picked up a TA job yesterday with GR and also missed out on one on Tuesday for a bank. I couldn't have done the bank one anyway as Im not a customer.
