    Yes, that is a "feature" of their reports.

    Make sure you read the brief well and you should be OK.

    They ask for Left and Right so make a note of that!

    Good tip- I had a bank job yesterday, looked at the left and right but didn't write it down (that kind of day!). Luckily my bus back drove past the location.

    We're obviously not looking at the same job then. The one I'm looking at says you need to covertly record the visit using provided equipment and also be prepared to have a credit check. It says you need to check your credit score before applying.

    Now it may be the case that it's just an audio recording, and there won't be a credit check. However the loss would be if something messes up with the recording AND they do a credit check. Not easy to then re-do and still get paid.

    thats the same one i read. plus i would not trust banks to not ciredt check. i was in mine a while ago as i had a large sum of money to pay in and they told me to go to desk to get account upgraded. i did they sai certainly i stood and waited and then they told me they couldnt as i had just failed a credit check :mad::mad::mad:i was exceptionally annoyed as i had not even asked to have account upgraded and i had definitely not agreed to a credit check. my other bank did the same thing the same week so it seems to be standard policy that if you ask for account to be upgraded (or if they decided)
    they credit check you.

    Morning all,

    Just after a bit of reassurance - I've just printed off my briefing notes for my first ABAI job, and it all seems deceptively simple!

    Are they just a reasonable company or am I missing something? I don;t seem to be able to access more than the first page of the questionnaire without completing it, so I'm imagining pages of odd questions!

    Can someone please put my mind at rest?

    I've only done one job for them and it was wonderful - so straightforward! Unfortunately I don't get to see many of them in this area, but will go for them if possible. You'll be fine!

    that is incorrect i cannot self assign as they say i have not done enough jobs. i am not able to see the egg jobs etc. only onces i have seen recently are DIY| which I did , irish cinemas, leather goods in other parts of the country. so i am not allowed to see the freezers of eggs tea etc and it will be the same for anyone else who cannot self assign as we are now not allowed to see the work :(:(:(

    I can't see any jobs apart from Irish supermarkets and posh face cream in London. I've applied for various jobs with them last Autumn and never got anything. I certainly haven't seen the egg, freezer or tea jobs so you're not alone Angel13.

    I used to do loads of jobs for ESA and RE but I haven't done anything for them for a few months. I suppose it just depends who has the jobs and where they are.... :rotfl::rotfl:

    Has anyone done cheap designer store jobs or mobile phone shops for ABAi recently? Since last November, I have not seen or done any of those jobs.
