The way I save my search on GAP is by typing the following:

http://www.xec.gapbuster.com/WebSelect3/SearchAssignment.aspx?q=search&flag=true&f1=TOWN1,TOWN2,TOWN3,f2=&f3=&c=&a=&start=&end=&premiumOnly=false&pageSize=25&pageIndex=0

Where it says town 1 etc,just type in all the towns you can think of. Any with a space in, just stick %20 in instead of the space. Put a comma (and no spaces) between town names... If you then save this link in your favourites, you can search with ease just by clicking on it.

HTH

Edit to say the MSE site shortens this link. You need to click on it, then it'll be in your address bar for you to edit.

I'm sorry but I'm stuck again! When I click on the link it says 'Object moved to here', with the word 'here' underlined and clickable - but when I click on 'here' nothing happens. I'm really sorry about this - I'm sure it's just me being dim, I'm not that good with computers etc. Can you explain this in idiot-speak for me please?

I've seen that, I think it means that there are jobs available in that town, but not available to you, because you're not entitled to do them for some reason.

You get this as well, when it shows more jobs being available than you can see, e.g. petrol station (24) then when you look you can only see 5 or something, even with the convenience stores. I think these may be ones they hold back to offer people when they can't get jobs done. I.e. We'll offer you this petrol station if you do a nearby greasy burger job for us!

Just wondering what Retail Maxim are like to work for, I've been waiting ages for them to be recruiting in my area

Beautiful day, huh?:cool:

I've registered with Retail Maxim but have never been offered any work.

They're very good with their pay and the briefs but so unreliable at getting any work. I can only assume they have favourite shoppers in certain areas and those of us who are new (well, newer than their faves!) don't get any work because of it. I've probably been with them 18 months and had about 5/6 shops from them, in fits and starts, presumably when their fave goes on holiday!

hmmm
sounds like someone will have to die before I get the chance to apply then...

I couldn't get on to TNS this morning for about an hour, so I thought that they were updating and would have zillions of jobs ........ i kept checking (when I should have been doing other things LOL) and then finally it's working but no extra jobs, talk about getting my hopes up, or maybe I just need to get out more

doesnt seem to be a monday morning frenzy of new jobs... but I have some cool new sportswear thanks to some work for RE over the weekend!!

Very quiet, well I have done a few today but these were long standing ones that I had pencilled in for today, all done now though.

Only a few supermarket visits for TNS at the minute, nothing much else.
