I'll keep everyone posted. I finally heard back on the bank shop I applied for. They got the "go-ahead" on Monday and wanted the shops done immediately. I agreed to do it Wednesday but both the instructions and the e-mail directions from the scheduler were incorrect. By the time I got straightened out what the correct instructions should be Friday was the best I could do - and it was the last possible day to do them shop. They use a Shopmetrics platform and they require you to print out the worksheet, fill it in immediately after the shop, and e-mail it to them after completing the report. They made a point of saying in the instructions that you don't get paid unless you send them your handwritten notes on the worksheet. I got my shop submitted fine, but when I e-mailed the worksheet, I got an undeliverable e-mail, so I forwarded to the scheduler. I'm curious to see if I'll get paid. The report wasn't onerous but the hurry-up-and-wait, wrong instructions, short turnaround, and e-mail problems gave me a bad feeling. I couldn't find a contact number or e-mail on their website. The instructions say payment in 28 days. I'll post the results.
