I have just signed up to ESA, can someone please explain the job process. Is the screen empty unless there are jobs in my area?? I had a looked last night and it said 400+ opportunities but nothing showing on my screen, is it simply a case that there is nothing in my area at the moment.
Many thanks in advance

Have you clicked on the "Open Opportunities" text in the "My Stuff" box ? This will show available jobs in your specified area.

You can extend or change the area you search by changing the filter options at the top of the page.

I have just carried out the best assignment ever...in a bed store!
OMG The SA was a real hunk.I had to stop my self when asked "Do you need any help?" I felt like saying "Thankyou god!!".... I couldn`t wait to try out the beds! Am sure I spluttered my way through the enquiry. As I left the store and said my goodbyes I was told "The pleasure was all mine"
If only....;)

I think everyone gets the Irish jobs, I do and I like in Cumbria. If there's nothing else there it just means all the jobs in your area have gone, you just have to keep checking. ESA jobs are ones that seem to go in a flash.

Log in then go to my settings, then click on edit profile, then click on details where you can set your search area.
Everyone sees the irish jobs because there are no postcodes,

Thank you both, I shall just have to keep checking, any ideas when they get updated or is there no set time?

Am a total Mystery Shopping Newbie, but have just signed up with Gap Buster, after reading that it is often a good one to start off with.
I've got the email straight away with Shopper Number and Password, but I can't get to Login. When I load the page to login, under where it says 'Welcome Shoppers', there is a red box stating "Cookie is disabled in your Internet browser. Please enable cookie in your Internet browser."
I've gone to my Internet Options, and changed the Cookies setting to "Accept all Cookies" under the privacy tab. But this still doesn't seem to be enough.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do!!

Also, a more general question - and appologies if it's been discussed or asked already somewhere on here, but there is soooo much to read through and I've made it through lots of it, but can't read every comment and couldn't find anything when I searched, but what is the situation when it comes to doing Mystery Shopping jobs with a baby in tow!?!? I'm on Maternity Leave at the moment, so have DS (4 months old) to look after during the day. Would this limit what I could do? Or should I just not mention it at all to the MS companies, and take him along anyway. He's very good (for now anyway, and touch wood that continues!), so never really causes any problems when we're out, and often sleeps when he's in the pushchair anyway.

Thanks

I have seen that discussed before. For some companies this is very much a no! Although others.don't mind. Those that have the same situation shall be along soon to let you know. I think you may have to ring and ask the company what there preference is.
