    The same goes for ABAI. The shop that sells everything has character limits and I cannot fit all the information in. If the store does not score full marks, I like to explain why and how they could have scored higher. It's just not possible with the limit. I know they say send us an email at the end with extra information, but if you do 3 visits, it gets a bit OTT.

    I like the SASSIE systems where they allow you to write as much as you want. I don't like to waffle but if I feel something can be improved I like to give concise notes as to how this can be done.

    You can always email extra comments to ABA-i if you don't have enough room in the report itself - I do this quite a lot!!!!

  • I'm nervous for GFK petrol - I've only got 3, I'll do one now, one tonight and the other tomorrow night and this one is the most simple - no car wash, no toilets... but the 22 page instruction pdf!! I'm sure there isn't any more to remember in particular than any other petrol job, I've got stage fright even though I've done loads of them!

    This ever happen to anyone?!

    I felt like that about the computer one I had at the weekend but it looked worse than it was :)

    Was that the laptop one with Helion?? I've got that joy tomorrow evening. I think it should be ok that one, the training was long enough though!

    I think it's when I have up to half an hour to kill before I can go and do it that I get a little anxious, when I just go and do them it's fine! Right, come on brain, remember all these things to look out for, and let's go get some petrol... (I really need it, the light in my car is on!)

    They are a lot easier than they seem in the brief that's for sure.

    I did 5 of them all yesterday evening one after the other. OMG...difficult to remember everything. I had a friend accompany me but not in the shop we parked up around the corner and then answered all the questions. If I missed something he went back and had a look. I could never remember music playing...strange...Much less suspicious him going in buying a drink or something. I know it says not to be accompanied but who cares.

    Oh...you need to note what top they are wearing jacket/shirt/etc. Didn't realize I was supposed to do that so never made a note of it but it's in the questions online. I just made it up in the end. Hope it was right.

    Quite weird too asking about fuel cards. "oh no sir we were taken over last week we don't do them any more"....me "oh ok then".

    Would it be unethical to cancel one phone job for another higher paying one (same company)? They are both in the same shop so I can't do both!

    Call the compny and point out they've upped the fee for the same job and that its not fair on you to do that and you to do it at the lower rate. Some companies are reasonable that way.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Hi

    I'm registered with a few MS companies and was talking about it to Hubby last night about some of the assignments I've read on here - he would LOVE to do the car type assignments - can someone PM me and let me know which company does them!

    Thanks in advance
