Is any one else taking part in the optimum contact telephone surveys ?

How are you finding it... good.. or pulling your hair out like me because most of the bus calls are unobtainable/ unanswered, and the residentials are all answer machines ?

given the cost of calls to the recorded line, is it worth continuing with them ?

Has anyone else found it really quiet at the mo?

It tends to have a bit of a lull from mid-Feb to April. My personal opinion is that everyone is counting the pennies remaining in this year's budgets!

Very quiet atm, end of month too so appears worse than it is... or does it...

Just wondering if it is acceptable to do ms jobs where I appear to have made a loss on paper due to the mileage? I've done quite a few in the last week where the mileage outstrips the income.

I've found it to be a really quiet couple of weeks. Got a travel agent and a few bookies lined up but nothing at all this weekend

sounds ok to me - the mileage is what it is its not like you are extracting the urine claiming for costs that have not been incurred or anything.

ive actually been really busy last and this week done approx 28 shops. next week i am fully booked at least 3 jobs a day mon - sun. got 22 booking lined up to take me to mid march. Still some last minute ones coming through, ive picked up another two for tomorrow today, some one must have dropped out. keep your eyes peeled, sign up to as many agencies as possible and dont worry if you make the odd paper loss on a job
