    Beyon Hello (www.beyondhello.com) are looking to expand in th UK so now might be a good time to get in there & register! I started to apply a couple of weeks ago, but when I tried to fill in the Postcodes that I could work in their Area Code boxes, it kept coming up error - yet the Application Form is identical to Bare Associates, & I put Postcodes in there no problem & it went through OK. I emailed BH in America & they got back to say the boxes are for US phone Area Codes,(didn't think of that!) so to just leave them blank, which I did & registered no problem. They only have a handful of jobs on the board at the moment, two High End Retail Stores in London & one in Oxfordshire & one in Manchester. Sushi ones in London were on but have been nabbed already! Erin, the Scheduler, said they were expanding so hopefully there'll be more jobs soon (Glasgow please!!) They seem to work just like Bare so some will be Self-Assign & others you apply for. Don't know the details yet of when they pay etc. I've had emails through today about the jobs mentioned - shame they're too far away! Hopefully someone else on here can do them!

    Thought I may as well stick my name down for this. Filled out the form and now wondering if I stuck the right info in. e.g. did they want income in dollars? and were the dress sizes American? Oh well, can't have thought it will make that much difference!

    I thought it was a bit confusing too!

    I put income down in Dollars (& their Fee is quoted in Dollars) so I assume that's right. Dress sizes seem to be American - on the job board the ones they have for the Retail Stores say you have to be a size 2 -10, so they are American sizings.

    The pay isn't that great if it IS in Dollars, & you have to have Paypal, but I would email Erin at Beyond Hello if anyone has any queries - she was really helpful & seemed keen for more people to sign up.

    I think it's worth registering & I'm going to keep checking just in case they have anything available up here!

    BTW, I meant the Fee for Jobs, not a Fee for joining them!!

    "The search for assignments function may bring up different assignments as it is designed to do so and will always be more up to date than your defined areas function. New jobs will always appear on the defined area at the time of scheduling, as long as they are appropriate to your profile. "

    That's what I've been advised :)

    Loads more show up for me this way - many thanks for this!

    I have a booked assignment for a fast food place for two weeks time with gap. On the jobs available they are offering a premium to do the same site on Saturday - can i be greedy and do both?

    Cookinmummy, I think on the bottom of the requirements it says how many times in a row you can do the same site (and how many in a month) - it does on a few I was looking at anyway :)

    I have signed up for my first fast food place on Gap in a couple weeks time - am quite excited (I know, quite silly really!)

    I've just completed my first MS assignment for RE (sports shop) - I was excited and determined to get it right so wrote loads in the report - I hope it's OK! Fingers crossed it gets processed OK...

    Got a few more lined up in the next couple of weeks too, but quite spaced out so i don't burn out too fast - ha ha!

    No, their rules about doing the same site are quite complicated.

    As I understand it

    You can't visit the same site 2 months running, or twice in the same month. Sometimes they will ignore this rule if they ring you and are desperate.

    You can't visit the same site unless another shopper has been there since you last shopped it. They never seem to ignore this rule even if they ARE desperate. :p

    I signed up and got accepted to a couple of companies, but I seem to be in a dilemma in that I cant see how it is cost effective for me mostly, as the ones that only pay a few quid cost more than that in fuel to get to.

    Am I overlooking something?
