Intellishop / Job Requirements Not Fully Disclosed

I recently accepted some daycare shops with Intellishop. On the job requirements, it states to visit the daycare online and call them. Then, visit the facility. I applied for these shops and was accepted. This afternoon, I printed out the full report for the facilities since this was my first time working these shops.

It was only when you are able to view the full report, that you find out that you must have a high end luxury vehicle or a late model vehicle to perform these shops. It is a high end daycare. Then, it states that you also have to take screenshots with the date and time showing. My cellphone and computer are not capable of doing this. I discussed this with Intellishop when I accepted a car dealership that also wanted screenshots with date and timestamps.

I informed Intellishop that I will not be working anymore shops for them. In the past, I had a 9 or 10 rating with them. This is a waste of my time accepting shops and then finding out that the job requirements were not fully disclosed. In my opinion, this is a deceptive practice. I wonder how many shoppers work the assignment and then find out their job has not been approved because of not reading all the undisclosed requirements.

Are you sure you can't take screen shots on the computer? This functionality has been around a while.

Hit alt+print screen, open Paint or Word, then right click and hit "paste" or on a keyboard hit control +v and it will paste.

Unless it's a really old cell phone most have a way to do a screenshot as well or there are apps you can use for that.

The luxury or later model car should have absolutely been disclosed though.

I am sorry for you that you are disenchanted over the late revealed details.
FYI, a free APP called Timestamp camera is what is often recommended to take the required picture with the day/date stamp. One may also easily input the site if desired. It is easy to use. The pictures load to your usual photos.

Tex, it dawned in my mind that different versions of Windows might need other directions. I use Win7; below are concise steps:

1-Hit "Print Screen"
2-Open Paint
3-Left click Paste
4-Left click the Floppy/Rigid icon near the upper left to save
5-Name and the shot will be in your pics folder

As to a time stamp, my strength is narrative, so I skip those shops.

Newer versions of Window have a clip it tool that will take screenshot just make sure to include the date and time in the bottom right corner in the scan.

An option for your phone is to download an app called "timestamp camera" that many here use including me.

This has to be a SCREENSHOT ONLY. I do have a timestamp camera app and a geo verify. I will not get caught up in a discussion about my phone or computer again. I took both devices to the Bestbuy geek squad. They tried for 45 minutes to get a screenshot to display the time and date. It is not possible. This topic is about not disclosing the job requirements up front before accepting the job.

They will accept SCREENSHOTS only. These have to have the date and time displayed on them. It can't be a picture.

ok, take the screen shot from your computer.. just as Bob said (never thought Bob would be giving tech advise). on the screen, on my WINDOWS computer the tool bar at the bottom shows the time and date. And it shows up in the screen shot when you paste it into Paint (used to be called MS Paint). It comes native in ALL versions of Windows.

On my Android devices, when I take a screen shot, the date and time are displayed at the top of the screen, and when I take a screenshot, they are in the picture.

There may be settings on your devices that you have changed so that these things won't show, and therefore won't be in a screen shot. But that isn't the norm.

My cellphone can't display BOTH date and time over a webpage or any other app. It will display the time only. It will display dates only on settings or notifications pages, but not times. It's an Android phone. So I understand what Texans is/are going through.

My desktop and laptop display both, so it's easy to make required screenshots on them.

When it comes to making screenshots of text messages and phone calls, I wait until the day after the text/call, when Android has to add a date and time to each text/call so you'll know when it happened.

I recall some months ago a big MS company would warn us in advance to do their shops (that required screenshots) on a desktop/laptop, not on a cellphone. I guess this company has been negligent about informing shoppers about all the details needed for a shop.

You are coming across very aggressively, people are only trying to help you.
Your cell phone may not be able to take a screenshot of the date/ time, but your desktop 100% can.
Not all requirements are in the summary, many only appear in guidelines. If you would have requested the guidelines before accepting you would have seen this luxury vehicle requirement. The 'summary' would be far too long if it included the guidelines.

I have seen many emails from Intellishop about the daycare shop. In the email it clearly states the luxury car detail. It should have been listed as a requirement before accepting the job though. The boars head job make me answer a question before accepting so im sure they can do the same for the car.

Morledzep, I have been online since 02/97 and I love my computer as a vehicle for profit, to increase my knowledge and as a means of communication. Cell phones, though, for me are a worthless device I loath. I have attempted to overcome that hatred, but have had no more success than ridding myself of my ice cream, premium only, addiction. I am aware I am leaving dollars on the table.

I have been using Android phones since they became available 20 (?) years ago. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S24. The screen does not display the date. The time is "always" available at the top. I just tried opening a variety of apps out of curiosity, and the time appears, but not the date. There are some apps such as weather apps which display the date, but not many. The Firefox browser does not. Chrome does not.

I agree with VIV's comment concerning the aggressiveness of the OP. It did not bother me, but I would refrain from offering assistance in the future.

@Texans Please ignore this post since it has to do with how to get the date and time to show on every Android screen.

@Anyone who may be interested in adding the date to an Android phone's status bar, go to the Google Play Store and search for "date and status bar." Then, choose an app and install.

Thanks. I looked and found a few that will add the date.

For Android users, there is a free app called date in status bar that you can download out of the Play store that then gives you your date and time in the upper left hand corner.
