    Does anyone know how long expenses for hotel jobs on RE take to come through? I've been given 2 points for completing on initial date but the job is not marked as completed.

    Got accepted by Gap after second application and completed orientation. Looking for jobs now but does the fee include your expenses? You guys are right you can't make much from these jobs then if that's the case!

    No Samtastic the questionnaire is a pain. I did a mobile phone shop and answered every q like was I welcomed with xx minutes, was everything explained, was I shown a handset etc etc etc THEN they asked for a 250 word summary of the visit.

    And a national chain pub has 81 questions. One is were the plants well cared for. That's a joke...the plants are plastic!!!! So in the questions just answer yes no or N/A as you'll be covering it all in the summary. I only did one job saying I was probationary. They give you marks for completing it and submitting it on time, then subtract if they have to phone you and query something, subtract marks for spelling mistakes. Your score gradually creeps up. Min is now 254. Don't know what difference the score makes though.

    So your not alone.

    And see the pub one. In Scotland you have to do 2 of them!! But you get 2 fees.:beer:

    you got it in one. lol some jobs rea not worth doing unless you are in the area anyway, and it is not getting any better.. and dont forget you can spend maybe an hour submitting the report and sometimes it repeats the questions and wont let you submit so you have to over ride it photgraph reciept and send them. it not what you call easy money you need you wits about you. I forget theres the paper and ink from the printing

    have a pub one booked will look at questions, the fee will not cover food and drinks so with petrol may not be worth the hassle.
