yes i have read all the briefing over 10 times now and even with the help of other on this forum i still cant get it to accept the answers. it also doesnt tell you which or exactly how many are actual wrong so it is difficult to tell where i have gone wrong

I've done a few of these jobs and dont remember a problem with the test. Cant remember any 'sticky' questions.

I've had this before on a type of job I do quite often. My brain just couldnt get the right answers. Ended up releasing it as I had already spent too much time on it.

Think they only let you do more than that if they get really desperate and no one else does them when it's almost the deadline. Email the allocator. PS. Are you really doing these for the fee they offer?

I've applied for some of these as they're the only jobs I can do at the moment !. I'm not expecting to get any as I never get anything from them

The university outfitters that tern used to have is now with RE and the fee is 75% less. There is a reimbursement but I doubt it would cover any of the clothes in the shop.

It JUST ABOUT covers a pair of socks.. :j

It looks like three or four big circuits have just been dumped back in the areas I cover.

The discontinuation of reimbursement is ridiculous: the client is calling the shots with the purchase requirements.

I have just perused some of my old accounts. I have been doing these jobs for donkey's years (when they were with two other agencies). In 2004, I was getting over twice the money that ESA is offering now. For one brief period in 2006, I was making a good living from egg shops (30+ per wave, plus full travel expenses).

ESA can take a running jump .....

Hi can anyone help me. Last night I got an email from Gap about a job in my area so I applied for my first GAP job, it came back with the status in red rejected/cancelled. Have tried again this morning and it immediately came back with the same status. Am I doing something wrong?

I had same problem. Check to see that your bank details are there. This solved my problem

Hmm, my first BARE job (jewellery) is showing as "received" and it has been rated and had a positive comment, but under "shop fees" it says:
Shop Fee: 0.00
Expenses: 0.00
TOTAL: 0.00
Which can't be right, surely?

Also, if there is a limit of one shop per round of shops, does that mean all of the same brand, or just the ones with the same due date?

I think it said that this would happen in the job notes but you can always email them if you're worried. I've found them quite quick to respond

Same happened to mine last time round, but it was updated before the payment due date and paid without issues (and current wave job is also currently 0.00)

Does that mean you have already done one? If it is SELF ASSIGN, the first one you apply for gets allocated straight away. Then they all go into pending. You can SELF ASSIGN 1 WEEKDAY (Mon to Thu) visit and 1 WEEKEND (Fri - Sat) visit on your own. Everything else will pend. Last wave, I did 2, and then they got very desperate and allowed me to do 2 more.
