Good evening. Doing my first jewellery audit for React tomorrow (in a supermarket). How long should I give myself? The notes make it look very complicated :eek:, but I'm hoping it will become obvious when I actually see the stuff in front of me!

Hoping I can squeeze in a coffee job too before I have to pick the little one up from playgroup!

Thanks

I've got my first one tomorrow as well. Know what you mean about the notes, they ran my ink cartridge out, grr!

Just wondering, do I have to tell the staff what I'm doing if they don't really notice what I'm doing IYSWIM?

Had my first hotel visit on Friday. As a mum of six, those single person visits suit me just fine, first bath of over half an hour I've had in about 10 years! Bliss!

You are supposed to sign into the store for these audits. They are overt audits with letters of authority.

The first batch of these jobs I did, I signed in, which sometimes took ages to find the right person, then be escorted to the back area where the book is, then finding them again at the end and signing back out, I have to admit that the last ones I did, I didn't bother to sign in. The jobs are really easy to do and you just look as if you are browsing.

Thanks for that, do you reckon I could get away with that for my first job? Otherwise I have to go and get an ink cartridge first as all the pictures of the stands ran out my colour and black. Arrgghh!

Quick question. Do Bare usually take years to allocate jobs? I applied for one to be done by the 15th, but was hoping to do it tomorrow if I get it, but haven't heard anything yet.

Quite honestly I'd do it "properly" the first time and sign in! once you've done a few hundred of the jobs and know what you're doing and what to look for and can do them quickly I'd not bother to sign in.

I didn't sign in for mine, there were plenty of staff around and no one asked me what I was doing, so I guess they're used to it.
