Hi everyone.
What do people do as other jobs while in the hunt for acting jobs??
There must be other things we all do apart from call centres and supply teaching.

Hi ya
This is a fab thread! What's an internet researcher? Why do you need to do it at weekend evenings?

well ,(basically) people send a question via text to the company that I work for. I log on to the system and am presented with a long list of questions to answer. You don't get to choose the questions, although you are allowed to skip a certain amount per month. You then have 30 minutes to research the question and send a reply.
We get paid per question.
The hardest thing is that the grammer and spelling/punctuation have to be 100% perfect and even though I got an A in English, I still struggle with that!
The most questions come in on Friday and Saturday nights when everyone is at the pub, so you have to work then to get the most work.

WOW! I had no idea such things existed!

The Internet stuff sounds like my kind of job, although I imagine the answers have to kept short and sweet! :)
It was once suggested that I should get paid with coming up with extensive replies to CCP type posts, but no-one has offered to take me on for that yet...
As to the life modelling (yes, I know we've moved on a bit), fair play, Alan. £10 an hour for what is, in effect, temp work is a very, very good rate, and reflects, I suppose, the perceived 'toughness' of the assignment. On the other hand, my question has to be: how many hours are you generally asked to do it for? That tends to be the way with temping - working for 5 hours at £6 an hour will net you the same amount as working for 3 hours at £10 an hour (obviously), but working for 7 hours at £6 an hour will make you (slightly) more. The question then becomes which is preferable: less hours or less pay, with the prospect of more continuous work, eventually equalling more pay?
The good thing about life-modelling is that you more or less call the shots and you can break when you like.
Promotional work is great, even though it usually involves a hell of a lot of smiling.
