Well, sometimes they do not really tell you how much in total you will be receiving for a project, especially if it is a mutli day theatre shop. Was I surprised to receive much more than I expected for what I thought was only a $12 per day and change. Since I did 2 auditoriums, I took that into consideration. During those time I was able to do some shops in between in another mall or another part of town. I barely stayed in the theatre for 20 minutes at a time. I regretted having accepted that shop when I had to go home late one night. I overlooked that part in the Instructions.
I just received a check, which considering the exchange rate, made that shop worth more than I expected. I pat myself in the back and took it easy for a while.
Adshelto, are you getting the CFA site? Click on search and see what is available. There are threatre jobs where they will tell you that someone will call you if you got the job, if you are new to the assignment. Trailer checks are usually self assign. Are you not getting those in your search?
There are very few shops available for this Friday as they had been on board weeks ago. Watch for the next ones starting today. They may come up.
No, I don't think I had your problem when I started many years ago. Can you contact them? They are usually very receptive to questions.
