... Ok what do you guys think?

there was a job posting for an hotel, with a fee advertised on the other MS forum. So I emailed.. she said its gone for Sept but good for October. I said ok great.. Filled out the application she said right ill allocate it to you for Oct.


I said Um... Do I get the details about the job (like where im going etc)... she said "its too early for that"

!!!!!!? I thought i never accept visits with out knowing where im going. Doesn't it seem weird what if its a hotel Ive just been to etc. Or a scuzzy brothel style.

Just kinda miffed but maybe this is the norm... incase she thinks im a spy?

Sounds like the audit I got allocated today.

Email - this audit is available
Me - what does it involve
Email - Congratulations it's yours! More info to follow.

The reason we don't see them is because our business email hasn't been approved. They all go into a collective pool waiting to be marked as ok (no order to this) and when they have time they randomly go through it. Hence we don't see them.

See now I'm confused, I have completed business calls for RE before and have a business email which has been used before for the business calls.

Me too... I picked a business call up yesterday and since then my RE has gone a bit strange and not showing anything! Jen advised me just to ring them to get it sorted.

I received this from RE about the issues with Business Calls, Hotels and other things.


"In answer to your question, at this moment in time there are not that many available jobs on-line. As most weekdays there are new assignments being scheduled, the best advice I can offer is that you continue to login and "watch this space". Unfortunately, as with most businesses we experience "peaks and troughs" with our workload, as we are very much dependent on the needs of our clients who, to ensure that their staff have no idea at which time of the month they are to be shopped, like to vary the times of the month for their assignments. Sometimes this means that a great many assignments appear all at once, and naturally there are then times, like now, when very few assignments are available, but we are currently publishing on average around 9,000 assignments each month. In order to see these assignments you need to have your profile completed, that is the “About me%u201D questions on your home page. Once these are all set at 100% you will see 100% of the jobs for which you meet the profile. Also check that your “defined areas%u201D, under the heading of Details are up to date.
In addition, all of our clients have strict rotation limitations on their jobs, but each client has imposed different restrictions. Basically this means that for each client you are only able to undertake a certain number of jobs at any one time, again so many during a given time period and further still cannot undertake the specific location for yet another set period of time. Once you have reached any of those limits, the jobs for that specific client will not appear again until the expiry of that time-scale, which can be anything from 3 - 12 months."

Yeh it is, have you done them before?

How strange. I do NOT want to do any business calls for them, I have even unticked it. All I seem to see when I log on are business calls. How annoying.

I think I have now realised that they put certain jobs on RE later than they do everywhere else. If an alert comes up for PETS on RE, they tend to appear a few hours later for me. Perhaps it's because I am in Yorkshire. LOL.

No, I haven't. Got no idea what's involved or how long it will take. Don't even know what day I'm meant to do it on yet.

Mine's been approved. Apparently the filters only let you do 1 every 9 months, but in the past this has been manually overridden. Clearly not anymore .
