How to Ask Assignors for Work

[Back In The Saddle]

To the newbie, some things that may help:

Talk to the assigner. Tell him that you're concerned that you've not gotten any games. Ask him if there's a problem and also what you could realistically expect your first year. Keep it all positive and upbeat.

Then keep your bag in your car, packed. Let your assigner know that you're available for last minute cancellations.

I had one assigner who was on IM during the day, so I'd check in a couple of times a week just to see if he's got anything. I got some cancellations merely because it was more convenient to give them to me ('cuz I was right there) than to go online and re-assign them.
