I have the same problem I cannot get past 5 points to get any jobs. How do you get a job to get you past 5 points to ge jobs, catch 22.
I cant find the native speaker test section or who to call?

FRUSTRATED......

Email them and ask about it. I can't remember if there is a specific place on the website - I *think* you need one of the people at Bare to put it in your shop log. That's how I got mine sorted anyway.

I also emaile to get a first job so my points were up after trying with no luck at 5 points for a couple of months. Once you have 1 job it gets easier!

I was with a client (not MS related) the other night and she said that she has a friend who does MSing for a certain supermarket - every week. Yes, the same branch every week! He has to go in and do his weekly shop and visit the deli counter and cake counter etc and interract with the staff and then he gets his shopping for free. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? Sounds odd. Comments please!

Before you all start PMing me and asking what Supermarket it is, I'll give you a clue. It's the former Prime Minister's wife's surname. You should all know that one.

i must be thick - i don't know which supermarket - any more clues??

Make that three of us. Just googled her maiden name and the supermarket in question is up North. I am down South, so have never heard of it. :rolleyes:

They don't send cheques - they send cash in the post which is even more worrying. I haven't received payment for the ones I have done earlier this month either.

The reason I asked is because I got payment for a petrol job yesterday. The petrol job was done on the 15th. I'd done another job on the 15th for a different client (also ABA-i) but that hasn't arrived yet. The payment for the job done on the 7th also hasn't arrived.

I wish they wouldn't send cash in the post, I've had cash sent that way pinched before!

If it's the one I'm thinking of they are only in the north west (I think)! Just google for Til Death Us Do Part... Cherie's father played the son in law, and it's his surname that is the same as the shop (ie Cherie's maiden name)

It's a nice little Supermarket - wish they had them in Glasgow!

I know a lot of companies do their own "in house" Mystery Shopping - maybe they do that, where they just use people known to them or it could be through a MS company.

Off out to Glasgow now for three more coffees, enquire about Digital TV and book ANOTHER holiday to Greece! (I wish!!)
