I see, for Feb's wave, you now have to apply for the TNS phone jobs now.

At least this will prevent the annoying e-mails asking/telling you to change your visit date.

I saw that an am confused as already got five in my shop log with dates I have given. These were picked up 2/3 days ago - there are some more been released so not sure it applies only to these only or includes the ones in my log which are part of the same wave. What a mess....

Best thing to do is drop them an email, I'm not sure what they are doing at the moment.

I just put it in the breast pocket of my coat with the mic pointed forward and up. It's not something I'd submit for an audio shop, mainly due to pocket rustle, but it's by far good enough for my own reference when typing reports or answering queries. If a point were argued, then it's probably good enough to submit for that purpose.

Well I've just bought it. Got a late night burger tonight, so I'll give it a go then.

Yep, I meant React . Talking about RA, they have never offered mileage to me, not even 8 p per mile!

RA are phoning me daily about the same job, I keep giving them the same response- pay me 45p per mile plus the shop fee and I'll do it for you. They can't put the phone down fast enough. Today they told me I'm self-employed so it's my responsibility to pay for the wear and tear on my vehicle, all they will give me is 24p per mile. No wonder no-one will take their jobs, their pay is an absolute pittance. I'm not doing their work at my own expense!!!! All their jobs round here just sit on their website, I think people are getting wiser.

Can anyone recommend a good SD card for video shopping.

I need a 32GB one.

Thanks

is it necessary to be so big ? is it for a long job ?

multiple smaller ones are better if possible and less chance of losing a lot of footage if things go wrong
go for class 10 anyhow

memorybits.co.uk have a sale on some microsd with sd adaptors too

I agree Wizzbang they keep calling me too if they were prepared to increase the fee or offer travel I would be willing to do some of the assignments but they just expect for them to be done at a pittance of a fee!

I just tried to change the dates of the phones. Most of the week they want don't show up as available on SASSIE. This is going to be fun.

Indeed, that is around 5 or 6 hours HD video.
Smaller cards, one for each job are the way to go. Less chance of losing one or if one fails you don't lose load of jobs.

I've had no luck this time round with these jobs, the App just didn't work. At least last time round it worked 2 out of 3 times.
