Regarding my comment about 'filing charges'...I'm sorry, but I was just kidding, as they say.
I had the same concern when I ran into the same problem a few years back. It p__sed me off! But, as one ms shopper said on this forum, once she talked to the scheduler, she saw that she could do it after all was said and done. My main lesson was: FOLLOW DIRECTIONS....READ THE 'SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS'. for some reason, in the beginning, I didn't. I thought I did, I knew I should..geez! After I completed the report, I would see that I had did it wrong..because of something I didn't read. Then, instead of waiting for them..I would email and tell them what I did wrong. They have always been very understanding. The main thing I saw was that they liked that I just told the truth and didn't try to slide anything by them. There was one job that I didn't get paid for...and I don't believe that I should have.
The whole reason for the shop was to find out if the leasing agent tried to find out from me,the person who may rent from them, where I found the information from..was it Rent.com, was it forRent.com or was it rentguides.com. blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I didn't read that part and told them I was referred to the property by a friend. I knew I wouldn't get paid and that taught me a lesson. I try to use mistakes I make as 'a learning tool'
. It works.
Well, now I have talked so much, I have 'dry-mouth' and am sick of myself!
Good Luck!

I've really learned to take everything with a couple of grains of salt. If I don't like the company, I don't work for them. I used to get so into what every company did wrong or right..and it's a huge waste of your precious energy. I decided to work for the highest paying apartment shops I could find and become an expert at it and that's what I did.
Now I am going to start video taping for them (epms) Here in Northern CA, that pays $60 per job. The report is only 2 pages long, instead of 12 or 13. I love writing, so the report is sort of fun to do (sometimes) But, I wouldn't mind not doing it!!
If there are any video experts out there, doing apartment shops, I would Love to hear from you. Is it really much easier?
Thanks for any input...
