Can someone please give me a link to the TNS site to look for jobs? I am registered with them and get e mails from them but have lost the link to look for myself.

This is the website that I'm on to look for jobs - hope it works:-

[SIZE=-1]When is the exception to the rule, when a questionnaire should be completed on the site of an assignment? [/SIZE]

I have gone through the handbook and still can't find the answer. Any ideas please?

I think it is when asked to do so on the briefing, hth.

No, it's when you're in a hotel.

Hoop-la

I'm starting to get very worried about Blue Star and their lack of response to emails and phone calls chasing money. Has anyone received any payments from them in the last month or so?

Click on the arrow on the calendar to see the month you want!

Do you know I've never used / noticed the calendar bit on TNS! I always just leave it blank and either don't change anything so it searches for "All" or search my county and ones nearby or that I visit. I guess it's only worth using or bothering to fill in if you're looking for a specific date, otherwise why bother - or am I missing something?

Just tried it and it brings up the same jobs if you put in 10 Jan to 10 Apr as it does if you leave it blank.

I'm blocked from stamp shops as I'd done too many of them, have seem a couple of the "number" phone shops but no others for a while, I have done quite a few of them so maybe I'm blocked as well.

Hi TG, just out of curiosity how many is deemed too many? I've just had a quick count, and I've done 41 stamp jobs - maybe that'll be me for the chop on those soon :eek:

Is it ok to have a photo ID for retail eyes and does anyone do it?

Sorry, another question -

I have a pub job which is £15 reimbursement for food and drinks plus £5 fee. I called the pub to confirm what times they serve food, and at the moment they are not serving food. I called the agency who said I should treat it as a "drinks only" visit and put N/A for food related questions. I asked whether the payment would be the same and she said I'd still get the same and "feel free to have a couple of drinks rather than just one". Also, she said that I don't need to get a receipt as it would look odd asking for a receipt for a drink in a pub.

Now I'm not sure whether she meant that my payment would be the same ie I'll get £20 total for the visit OR that my fee would be the same ie I'll get £5 plus reimbursement for any expenses. Anybody any ideas???

Thanks

you'll get £5 plus any reimbursements. hence the idea to have a couple of drinks!
