I find it easier.

I know others have said the same I just don’t get it though. There is no need it just makes it harder IMHO. If they clock you they just run around trying to put the signs up etc its quite funny

Record it on your mobile as you walk along the tills. "Till 1, 2 people waiting, till 2n unmanned, till 3 one person waiting, till 4 closed, till 5 two people waiting etc"

I must admit, that is exactly the way I do it too. Its much quicker than looking down at a form. I then transcribe on to the form once I'm at home.

I did try the form once but it is really hard to write on something without leaning on a table or something.

Exactly! That's why I use the phone.

I've got a very nice perfume visit tomorrow and asked my friend if she wanted to come into town with me (we live rurally and she could do some shopping at the same time). When I told her what the job was she told me that it was one of her favourites and that I was 'jammy'. She really sounded quite miffed but when I suggested she try MS'ing she told me her husband wouldn't approve. I give up.

I've got one of these too, well impressed with myself! Worth the trip out at lunch

Help! I'm having a nightmare with RE, I tried to take a couple of jobs last night but all the dates were showing greyed out - unavailable. I just tried to take another job tonight and was having the same problem so I tried about 4 different jobs and NONE of them had available days!

I've been with RE for years and never had this problem before, I presume its just a problem with my individual account and will phone them tomorrow but was just wondering if anyone else had had seen this before?

I'm really miffed as I've missed out on about a dozen jobs in the last 2 days

Are you changing the month to December?:)

I think everyone is nervous of that GR checkout job initially! I asked the same questions and got good advice from the forum.

I print off the form as per the brief, grab a clipboard and it takes no time at all. For me I have far greater chance of typos and errors trying to use a mobile phone and it would take much longer so that option wouldn't be good for me. Use what works best for you and if you are a whizz on the mobile use it but there is no need to be covert, just get on with it and the staff are usually too busy to notice in any case.

Yes, I've skipped forward and back through the months and a message comes up saying -

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately there are no available dates on this assignment and it has expired.
You will not be able to proceed with accepting this assignment until these dates have been extended.
Please contact .....

I've checked the timescale on the assignments and they haven't expired at all, its happening on every job I apply for!
