I've got my first 2 jobs with Helion tomorrow - I was quite looking forward to them as they seemed straighforward, but after catching up with the thread I'm a little concerned.

I guess all I can do without any guidelines is fill in what I think and hope for the best.:(

Any tips from anyone who got good scores? Is the concensus that longer comments are better?

I've got some to type up tonight, I think I'm going to go with the theory that since the company's roots lie with Bare they're expecting a Bare-style report i.e. a sentence confirming everything in the tick box sections etc. Worth a try anyway will let you know how I get on.

I've had one returned because I'd clicked the wrong day !!!!!!... I'm going to drop Max an email because if it was any other company (even Bare) they would just correct the tick box to the right day of the week and put a little note on, not send the whole report back :mad:

Arrrggghhhhhh!!!!! :mad:car trouble slowed me up today and I didn't get a fraction of what I wanted to get done!!!!

I am very tempted just to take a day off tomorrow, I've not been feeling so good today and the jobs I have got are fairly flexible (ie can be done Sunday or Monday).

Going to double check and run it past DH and get his thoughts on it. I've been getting better slowly don't want to set my self back.

blah blah moan moan blah ...thats me done thank you for listening

I know how you feel, I've been feeling very crook yesterday and today. It explains why I ballsed up the cat job on Wed. I had to cancel three jobs for today, couldn't reschedule. The bonus is that I thought I'd cancelled my two cat jobs, but they are still showing . I'll nip out and do them tomorrow (check they are still there first though!).

OMG - I need to speak to 10 different people tomorrow and go through a scenario with each one and get their names and everything!
Good job the store is big enough for me to make notes as I go round (brief says this is OK)

I know have a notepad full of codewords that I can tick or cross!

Right..... totally off-topic here, but what does everyone think about the premise of writing to your credit card company asking for a copy of your consumer credit agreement, and if they're unable to supply it then you can supposedly get the debt (or sorry - "alleged debt") written off?

Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

I've written loads of notes in a notepad cos its the type of store you would expect to see people with pencils, paper & measuring tape!

I used the record function on my phone as I was going round the store - out of earshot of course. It looks like your just using your phone

I had a GR supermarket today and got spotted... Definitely will not do the manager enquiry first anymore as he proceeded to follow me round warning all the members of staff he could find...

Normally struggle to find a manager in these ones but for some reason there were about 10 in today :eek: and every single one of them knew who I was after I'd asked the first one where the bleach was

On the subject of GR supermarkets does anyone know how long the rotation is on them? i.e. if you do Store X how many months before you can do it again?
