I applied through the job centre for retail maxim ,got an email saying my application had been accepted ....that was 2 weeks ago have not had any communication since
Is this normal?

Hey. I signed up to them online not at the job centre but if it makes you feel better they don't actually give newbies a sign-in for their job site until they build up a rep with them and carry out at least two-three jobs. The best thing to do is give them a call and see if they have anything in your area...it's worked for me...hope that helps:o

When I joined RM, it was weeks before I was offered any work with them and all my jobs, so far, have been offered by either an e-mail or a phone call.

Although, I have just been given my login details so I can now self assign via their website.

No mention in email that i had to do either of the above ....it says i have placed on their records ,first booking will be by telephone ..thats what i have been waiting for
Ps not waiting to be spoon fed - not a mind reader either

Cool, give them a ring and ask them to send you details to log on to their site, they may want you to prove yourself with a couple of selected jobs first, they normally send out emails to say when jobs have been loaded or if there are any jobs they need completing in a hurry.

Where are you in the country as this will have quite an impact on the amount of jobs you may get.

If you are a recognised name on the board your questions are responded to courteously. If you are not recognised then the response is either "read the first page" or a rude and sarcastic put down.

Maybe WeeGraeme would be a better name, because bullies usually are wee men trying to act big.

I look forward to your contribution to this thread then.

Quick question for all you Scot's but has anyone carried multiple eye test shops? I have spoken to the NHS and they have said you can only have one eye test a year...has anyone else had any experience of this?

For MF jobs you get reimbursed for a private test fee, you pay for a private test.

I tend to say I wasn't happy with my last NHS test, and willing to pay for another, or I'm experiencing headaches and that seems to give you an excuse for paying for a private test. Be careful if you are visiting a few shops of the same company, some of the databases are visible in more than one shop! Good Luck.
