Has anyone done a job with AmberArch, joined many moons ago but no assignments coming up at all.

I've done about 10 jobs for them over the past six months or so. They email the lists to you and you reply saying what you want. You do need to be quick replying I find.

To be honest their fees are on the low side so I wouldn't worry about not having visits from them.

If you're anywhere near the Trafford Centre, Manchester, there is a job at a department store with yellow bags where you have to spend £5.00 at the food counter and you get £10.00 incentive.

If you don't know the MS company for this client here's the clue:- Mama Mia & Waterloo.

I have also posted this on the Alerts thread.

Hi all,

I registered with GrassRoots on Tuesday, and they offered me my first job today! But gutted though, as I was in a meeting so they left a voicemail for me to call back. By the time I called it had been allocated to someone else

And I had checked the website about 10 minutes before they left the message and there were no jobs on there

Bit of a shame as it looked like a nice easy 1st job!

Fingers crossed for next time...

GR have a fastest finger first approach, when they put things up you'll get an email usually to log in and have a look but I find unless you go as soon as the email arrives its gone.

I think it would have been easier if they told me which questions I didn't have to clarify. (Never had this problem with any other company)

me too apparently

Has anyone done a hotel stay where the hotel is only 1 1/2 miles from home?
I am not sure whether to use my mums address to avoid suspicion because wherever you might be going, a taxi home is cheaper than a hotel overnight! If you get my drift lol.

I did one a few weeks ago which is just 15 mins from my home - I live in Glasgow but am from Merseyside originally so just gave my parents address but it probably doesn't really matter. You could be having work done in your house or anything. Mine was a single visit business trip though so I went in business dress & just thought it was best to give an address further than 15 mins away!

TNS sure are offering peanut money for the new coffee and cake evaluations. One's just a mile away from my home, but I still wouldn't bother, as it wouldn't be worth it after considering the time, parking hassle, reporting etc.

Lol thanks for that brryssn, didn't think about having work done on the house, that's a good one. It's just handy incase you are asked!

I thought that - are they seriously paying nothing, for the privilege of a coffee?

I thought TNS were better than this; they're stooping to new lows.
