Hi,
There are some pub jobs on RE, states would suit a male - does anyone know whether this usually mean females are excluded or just that men are preferred.

Not sure if they have all gone or not but you must be between 30-65, I can't see any but not sure if this is because I have booked my quota.

With the RE jobs, I have booked these before if taking DH but probably wouldn't book it for an all girl meal as it probably means you will stick out like a sore thumb

Not exactly MSing but I just got picked to do research for a womens mag I don't often buy...I get it fre for 6 months in return for filing out a monthly survey on it.

I'm just coming to the end of my six month stint (I think it's the same mag as you will be doing, as I saw it advertised again recently). Haven't won one of the monthly prizes yet, but maybe this month....!!

I also do another one for a different company, and that's a weekly magazine, for six weeks, though it seems to have gone on for a lot longer - with that one you get a £10 voucher at the end of it. Only problem is, they appear to have forgotten to send out the final weeks copy - hmmm!

I emailed & they apologised, saying everyone should be receiving the final one soon, then the voucher just afterwards.

No, I am female and I have done a lot of these, and I am also not 25-55 as they recommend; I turn 23 next month and was 21 when I did my first one.

I did one for the mag which shares its name with a cocktail and am now doing one for a mag with a very brief title..only 3 letters.

Hey all

I just did a MS job for RE for a sports shop. As part of the job I was supposed to ask the staff to recommend an item. I was initially browsing the shop for 20 minutes and no staff came to ask if I needed help. Lots of teeneage staff just chatting and flirting with each other. None came to ask me if I was okay.

Even in the dept where I was supposed to ask the scenario question the staff ignored me. I approached him to ask the question and did the various things lke trying on the item etc.

But once that happened the attitude of the staff in the entire shop changed completely. Whereever I went I was approached by some one or other asking if I was okay or needed help.

I have a feeling that RE have held mystery shopping at same store very recently and made the shopper go through the same scenario. This probably compromised me completely. I am a bit miffed at this. I suppose it makes sense to give different scenarios for the same shop.
