I did my first shop on New Years day. It was fun and a nightmare at the same time. I accepted the job at about 1045 in the morning and it had to be completed by 130. It was a 30 minute drive. I downloaded all the information, filled out a profile on their site, printed the surveys and took all their tests on their site and quickly showered and dressed appropriately. Trouble started when I got in my car and entered the address in my GPS. NOT FOUND. I double checked the address and entered it again, still not found. It was now 1130. I ran back in the house and checked the address again, there were two addresses with one digit difference. I called the contact number * no one there, New Years day of course. I tried the number of the shop to get directions. All I got was a high pitched beep - like a fax number. I was on the verge of panic and almost canceled the job but thought of one more thing. I map quested the address and got a response . For some reason it wouldn't let me print. I quickly wrote the directions down - it was now 1200. I raced back to the car and had time to calm down on the 30 minute drive. All the rest was enjoyable. Lesson number one - never accept a job that won't allow you time to grt questions answered from your contact. Lesson number two, update my GPS.

Well done and congratulations!

It gets easier the more you do! There are always nitches and glitches in the system but most run smooth.

Thanks. I think I need to work out my own routine and get better organized next time. Really like this.

Thank you. I've done 3 shops now and things do get easier. I am starting to venture into other areas. Haven't really earned any money because I have accepted jobs further away just to get experience. I only got $5-7 per job and some were 30 miles away. Can't afford to operate at a loss but it was well worth it for the experience. Haven't received any feedback so I assume my reports were acceptable. Not as scary as I thought it would be.
