I got the Spanish Archer from GYP about 2 years ago but I am pretty sure that there was a separate orientation for the audits. When I done them they sent you out a photo ID card and stuff before you done the first one as you have to sign in when you arrive.

They ask for it back when they sack you along with the scales and stuff for the coffee shop.

Don't think they do ID cards anymore. I was told to use my passport. Yeah right...

Always managed with just the letter it's never been queried the less people that see the 9 year old passport photo the better!!

Can't help then. It was 2 years ago and I never really thought they were worth the money due to the time they took to do.

I know what you mean about the PP picture. Mine was only redone in 2006 and its scary already lol.

I don't mind them apart from having to dress up for them. That might be because I can fly through the bulk of it and normally end up stood for quarter of an hour drinking coffee with the staff waiting for the gap between temperature readings lol.

Done far too many of these audits now just find them boring

My current passport photo looks nothing like me now pleased I'm due a new one!!

- charming, GAP have got rid of me, I'd only done one assignment, Not sure it's worth doing it if there's no GAP jobs, I'm gutted!

I honestly can't think what I did wrong, although I think my second timing may have been a few seconds out as I struggled to reset my timer. I've done 2 for react now and got one 9/10 and one 10/10, so surely I can't be that bad! I can't even email as they've deleted my account!

Oh well, I'll sign up with a few more perhaps, then may look into doing some phone work. Does anyone else think it's worth doing without GAP jobs? I'm in SE London/ NW Kent area.

:rotfl:There is loads of work without GAP! They are not worth worrying about. Sign up with all the comapanies on page 1 and you will get plenty to keep you busy

I've just cancelled a load of old stones/mill shops in the Dundee/Fife area for GFK over next couple of weeks as I've got flu and ear/throat infection!

I hope you feel better soon :grouphug:

I have just seen some fuel audits on Gap (in the Glasgow/Stirling Area) for their existing fuel client but open audits which have not seen before. I applied for a few of them but they have all been rejected. Anyone any theories why.. I have done a few reports for this client and not had any issues before??

Who knows with GAP? I was fired after doing 4 successful jobs with them. I live in a very rural area so hopefully it will backfire on them :rotfl::rotfl: However I don't miss them at all and can't imagine why people put themselves through the stress of a burger job. I never did them because I don't eat meat but I still manage to get enough work to keep me busy

I've just started doing these and they are very simple.
You're given a list of shops and products to look for. Then look for certain batch codes/sell by dates etc etc. Just find them and buy them- easy peasy.

Yes I love audits - no lies, no returns

s-a-h-

Has the fee for "stamp shops within a shop" for ESA increased slightly as it is nearly due or am I imagining it?

Well after weeks of being busy inbetween the day job! I have looked at the diary to find the grand sum of 5 small jobs for October! Never mind that's life!
