Hi, I have my first job coming up with RE, an energy one and wondered if I have to be on my own when I go or can someone be with me but stand quietly!!

Thanks.

They do not specify. I'd say ring them to check. I went alone but as a compromise, you could go with someone and leave him or her in another part of the shop while you do what you need to and then meet up again after.

Hi, thanks for answering my question, I emailed and they said it was fine to take someone with me.

I thought I'd posted, but doesn't look like it went on! I was jsut wondering when BARE pay, as I thought it was the 15th and checked the bank but nothing in, I'm expecting quite a lot too!!!
Oh, and on their job allocation thing, I jsut got allocated ones that had disappeared weeks ago, I don't understand them at all!

Out of interest what MS companies did you use?

TNS has some supermarket jobs at the mo, but the visit brief states 'Note you MUST NOT request this visit if you have worked on the last 4 waves of this job (approx. 4 months).'

Does anyone know if they mean if you've done an assignment at that particular store in the last 4 months, or if you've done *any* supermarket jobs (for that chain) in the last 4 months?

I'm not sure - but they the system will not allocate you the job if they don't want you to do it. This can be overridden later on if there isn't anyone to do the job!!

Just email your area manager and explain the situation; they don't bite

I used (and still use) just 5 companies all of which are discussed on this thread so not major secret trick to it all - Over the 4 years I have done in excess of 3000 Mystery Shops in total!
