Is it me or does anything else think the fee for GR bank jobs isn't that great - just comparing it to GFK really. Kinda wish I hadn't taken the job now I've seen the questionnaire.......

No, I've thought this too, Roxy, ever since I saw them. In fact I've been disappointed by all of their fees since I had thought they were a high paying company, but I think the bank ones peeps generally refer to are the credit check ones...

I have not seen anything my way on GFK or RE (apart from the Pharmacy ones which I won't do) for a few weeks now. Are things slow generally or is it just here on the South Coast? Have just applied for a phone job on Bare which is my first ever so let's hope I at least get that one.

homeworkgirl - the ALERTS thread is NO CHAT!

So, I will reply on here. Kern are ok, they are not as prolific with work as the gyps gfks and re's of this world, and the pay is ok.

You can sign up here.

Glad its not just me I was kinda hoping that the job would be a simpler one that it is. It's not horrendous but I wish you knew more about the job beforehand.....live and learn I guess :rolleyes:

At least its not a bank I've shopped before so might be a new experience :rotfl:

I've just signed up with Kern - have the strangest feeling I've already registered but it's accepted me so I guess I can't have. Maybe it's just that they use the same software as Bare! Anyway, I've now come to a page where they are asking for extra info like what is my shopper ID with Gap and GfK and others. Surely this info is confidential???

Did one of these last week and thought it was easy. The questionnaire was really simple mainly yes or no and hardly any writing. Doing another today. did a supermarket for TNS with lots of questions and was in there for abot 50 mins for not much more fee.

There's a system called Sassie and a number of MS companies use it. Tern, Storecheckers and some others use it too.

There's another system called Prophet that a number of companies use too.
