Hi can anyone tell me if FF only have 1 company (pizza)?

Also I've just accepted my first RE job (even though it's a real ale :rolleyes:) as I went to get off probationary status, hopefully after that, I will be able to see more jobs.

Quick question - if you fail an orientation on Gap, how long do you have to wait until you can redo it? My 2 year old decided to finish it for me when I answered the phone midway through one. It says one attempt per session. What's a session?

When I did assignments for FF they had a credit card company, and some dry cleaning and photo development shops, but that was a couple of years ago so I don't know for sure. They used to have some pizzas and chicken, which later were snapped up by Gap, with a decrease (elimination) of the fee.

This happened to me when i first registered, rushed through it in all the excitement. i did contact them and ask them, but in the end waited and i got to try again in 3 months ish

I had a similar problem - I did two jobs where you had to buy a pint of Guinness. I did this, and a large coke (I was driving and I don't like Guinness!), drank the coke, but left the Guinness.

Thanks cookingmummy & Becles for your replies and everyone else that commented. It really helped You're right, I need to try different things to see what works best for me. I did my first phone shop and used a crib sheet and that went well. My first bank visit was harder trying to remember times, names & descriptions plus trying to wander round a small branch without looking obvious! I used my iPhone for notes and the timer on it for times but flicking between the screens didn't work so well...... maybe I'll just note the times instead next time.

I had some pizza places near me for the 1st time on Gap this afternoon......and by the time I'd done the test they were gone! Frustrating, but at least they're done now and I'll be ok for next time.....

I had this. I emailed them on the ask a question bit of the site and put the topic as "other". they emailed me back quickly and said it had been reset and would take 4 weeks. After 4 weeks I sent a few more emails to ask what was happening and again it was the "other" option that worked! it was only another week and I re did it.
