Absolutely! That's exactly what I've done. Just so happened I did a jewellery shop and used that for my Tern report

Thanks Nads I'll do that then, will save me having to traipse into town today. Just didn't want to get the sack from them before I've even started! Hope they're as good as everyone says now :beer:

They are GG. I love them. A tip for you though as they are very strict about how you word things. Especially that you don't lead the salesperson.

So if MOS shows you gold jewelrey. Don't say something like "There was nothing in the display he showed me that I liked so I asked for something in say silver."

At the end of each section where you summarise that bit refer to every question in the section and make a reference to it in your summary.

They are big on Justify your score. So if you give only Yes (or good) answers to 5 out of 6 questions in your summary mention why you didn't give full score.

Mine came back with entire sentances with a red pen through them and the reason why I shouldn't have said this or that. But I did learn a lot from it.

Thanks Hollypear, that's really helpful to know I'm a bit scared now, as only been MS'ing for a couple of months so I'm not sure whether I will be 'good' enough for Tern... but there's only one way to find out isn't there! I'll bear all your advice in mind, thanks!

Is the reimbursement for the Spanish restaurant on RE a good amount or are the meals going to be super expensive. I've never been there before and have wanted to try it but I can't really afford to be eating out so I thought this would be a good way for us to have a meal out, but now I'm wondering if the reimbursement covers the meal. We're suppose to get at least 3 items and then some wine. Has anyone done one of these before?

I think others have covered this now but yes, the reimbursement CAN cover the meal if you're careful I've done a few of these now and the bill usually comes to around £50 by the time we've ordered additional dishes and a few extra glasses of wine/beer, but I don't mind it going over, the way I see it the meal only costs us the £15 we've gone over the reimbursement amount, so it's a bargain of a night out.

That said, if you're careful and only order the minimum requirement of the assignment plus a couple of extra dishes and a basket of bread, you can have a lovely meal within the reimbursement amount. Have a look at the menu online and plan in advance what you're going to order. Enjoy!

Hi guys!

I had an email last week from a lday at Mystery Outsource who said she was allocating jobs "on behalf of Amber Arch". I completed to two jobs at the weekend and submitted the reports to her. She acknowledged them but I haven't heard any more. Does anyone have experience of this?

Shall I submit an invoice on Amber Arch website - no jobs are showing as completed?

Confused!

Does anyone here do recorded mystery telephone calls on a monthly basis for a company with the initials DS? I have just been offered a job with them and was wondering how many calls people get allocated per month?
PM me if you wish. Many thanks!

were you checking your eyes at the weekend?

I have done visits for MO/AA this way. I fyou have registered with AA or MO your payment details should be held already at the time of registration.
i have done two visits so far and had the email from MO and posted items to AA. Havent checked pay as they were this month and its usually a 4 week turn around i think. jobs were outsourced, so wont show on the AA website

Thanks for the info whitelabel - funnily enough the lady who emailed me the jobs replied to me just now telling me I would be reimbursed without having to submit any invoice.

No, I wasn't having my eyes checked... I did a jewellers and a shoe shop.

Thanks again!

I'm doing a job -job checking leaflets today but despite checking and double checking the test keeps saying I'm incorrect. Obviously don't want to post the Qs here but if anyone can help I'd appreciate it rather than ring G#K

EDIT Ignore please-blonde moment has passed

superhez

M'mm think I'm having a blonde moment now, went to sign up with the company just mentioned for mothers day flowers on the alert thread EMS, but it says I have already signed up (which I may well have done), but cant see anywhere to login.

Can anyone pm me a link to the actual login part of there website?
