    Anyone else have problems self assigning jobs on Helion? Every time I try to apply for something it says I've already accepted the maximum. Unless the max really is 0?

    Their system is absolutely awful. On the last round of these assignments all mine were left as pending until a week AFTER the fieldwork dates, they then started allocating and I had to refuse the assignments as I had other work booked by then.

    ive been in a store where a woman seemed to be taking movember pretty seriously too... had to think hard about what to include for the staff description on that one when asked for distinguishing features....

    Yeah, I'm had that few times.

    Told the lad in the phone shop my name was John Deacon. They didn't get it but it gave me a laugh.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    They don't shop every one of the jobs up there, they allocate around 25% abd spread them around is what they told me last time. A real pain when they do bother to allocate them as you get a days notice.

    I've sent bare a message . It's stupid. 2 days if the time slot lost already. Why don't they employ an allocator.

    Applied for a Bare job three weeks ago - a whole week in advance of my visit to the town in question. The day came and went - not selected for the job, which didn't shift. A fortnight later, the job is still there.

    I had thought this sort of thing was because they didn't fancy me for the job. But the last two occasions I completed an identical visit in other towns, they rated me 10 out of 10.
