Can't believe how many social media jobs keep coming on the GFK board. Doing 10 of those is lot easier than doing the dreaded blue and yellow torture chambers, which appeared last weekend. Mega surprised they got snapped so quickly last weekend.
The only ESA train jobs I have seen are too far away, so hoping the more local ones appear.0 -

The brief will normally tell you. Usually there is some wording around not knowing anybody in the shop or having worked for the company for X years or know anybody who works for the company.0 -
RA are very hard to contact. no one picks up the phone0

Has anyone seen the French style restaurants or posh sandwiches on MF? Usually they are shopped every week and I haven't seen them on the shop list for the past 2 weeks. I guess they will only be shopped once or twice a month now.

I did a posh sandwich shop on Monday and I'm doing one this Monday too. We no longer have the "French" Restaurant here.0 -
New to this as just signed up with one that cannot be named. I see that lots of abbreviations are used. Hopefully it won't take me long to get the hang of them!
Before I try a few more could you suggest a select few for me to register with first & if you have a referral code please post so I can help a little.
Thank you.0 -

It always seems to be quiet in the summer. Some students do MS work over their summer break, so there's more people looking for work.Here I go again on my own....0 -
