    But just about all the MS companies stipulate that we have to keep the paperwork for at least 3 months. This is the reason why, so we can trawl through it all at a moments notice should an enquiry come up.

    Yeh I think this is it really. I wouldn't be deliberately unhelpful to the company, but I appreciate it is annoying. Normally RE will say "you said this - xxxxxx can you clarify x" if they haven't I would ask them to provide you with what you wrote at the time as it will help you to remember things. It's not fair on them to force you to use your memory recall as you could intepret your notes wrong etc etc which doesn't help anyone!

    If you ignore them then you may find yourself sacked.

    I'd also ask for a copy of ur original report. They can send it to u as a pdf via email quite simply and it might then jog ur (and their) memory :D

    I think it also depends on what they are asking?

    Can you give us a clue?
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    I have been emailed a form from RA regarding 'overnight stays' one of the questions is...'in NO less than 750 words explain why you should be chosen?' has any one done these before? Thought I'd get an idea before I spend a couple of hours on this one!!! To see if it was worth it.

    Seems to be standard for them.

    I filled one out a while back and found I was waffling after about 500 words :o

    Never got offered the jobs though!

    Wow! Just realised I can link up t new abai petrol job to the tns supermarket and t react coffee tomorrow and get paid 3 times for effectively the same visit. Would it be cheeky to use the same receipt for react and tns?

    What on earth can you talk about for 750 words??
    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

    I could probably do 750 words detailing a whole experience, but this is just "why you should be chosen"!! I'm struggling with more than 50.
