    I think I just went on their website (www.ukims.co.uk http://www.ukims.co.uk/recruitment/field-team-application/) and registered my interest a long time ago. They dropped me an email saying they had some really urgent jobs that needed doing 3 years after I had registered my interest, I took 2 on and then I became a fully fledged member. HTH.

    re the bet jobs with no fee

    they are hoping people will take two
    do a matched bet, and you get a pay out that way guaranteed
    they get two jobs covered.

    Care to explain how you can match bet with this scenario?

    Anyone know what I can do about this?

    I did a Gap Pizza job today and ran out of printer paper when printing out the notes and the last 2 pages didn't print out so I don't have the Web Express code. I've gone to do the report and can't open the paperwork because its past the timeframe of the job :(

    Does anyone know what I can do?
    Release the job so I can have it. I've been waiting for weeks until the premium was added even refusing the begging phone calls but I was at work all day and someone else took it away from me.

    Unfortunately there isn't much you can do. Try looking through your cached downlaoded files and you might have it. Always save the paperwork rather than view it on screen. I learnt that one a while ago when I did exactly the same thing.

    Bet on matches on two different days. Lay the first match as a normal correct score bet and if you win at the bookie you will need to lay the second match for the sum of the first match loss and the bet. It's rather complex and the return will probably be about £8 or less but at least it's something....and you'll need quite a large amount of money to lay correctly. My bet could return £400 if it wins so I would need £392 placed on the lay in total to win £8.

    Now good news is my £2 free bet on the machines won me £5...

    HappyMJ, mate, that makes no sense.

    It's a correct score double. Getting one correct score is hard enough. Two is nigh on impossible. How do you guarantee an £8 return?

    It's a rediculous assignmnet. And if you get nothing out of the bandits, you've effectively paid the bookies £2 to do an assignment for them. Mental!!

    I just cancelled the RE shop, DPJames you're right, getting one is hard enough, getting two the chances must be less than 5%.

    Don't bother, is my advice. Unless you are never, ever ill, in which case go right ahead. I had to cancel a job once as I wasn't well, they put me on to a manager who spent half an hour berating and patronising me until I was on the verge of tears. Horrible company, couldn't be happier to see them lose a client. Too bad it was to MF, but at least it wasn't RA!
