I have seen the GAP bookies on RE before, but as a competitor job for the usual RE bookies. If this makes sense.

Yes, me too. I've only seen the Gap bookies on RE when it's been a competitor job and usually it's linked to the original bookies that women can't do. So when I read the notes it said it had to be linked. Bit daft really, but that's RE for you!

Do you do many visits for EMS? I've only ever done two (mob phone and hardware) most of mine just seem to be online reviews. I have done several online purchases though and like these :beer:

Do you mean physical visits? They don't do them - they are solely for online stores, hence the 'e-' in 'emysteryshopper'.

That's what I was wondering, though I have done two visits to "real" shops.

how could you have done that sort of job for them if they are an online based company? I seem to be rather confused

They do catalogues as well. Of course these are rare in comparison to website reviews but I have done 1 in-store.

The physical visits pay quite well. They pay you the standard review fee (in most cases) for the feedback. Apart from this, they usually provide you with a traveling expense and a generous purchase limit of easily enabling you to make a neat fee per job! :T

can anyone give me any advice on how to be shortlisted for selection with OC? I have now tried twice unsuccessfully. This time I got what would be an automatic response instantly stating that I have been unsuccessful so it cannot be based upon what I wrote in assignment as nobody could have read it that quickly? Im in SE so if other people are having same problem here maybe they are just full - Id appreciate it if they just told me that though and not get me to do an assignment.

Good luck with it Angel113! They are really nice to work for! They pay quite promptly as well. The only hassle is they pay by cheque and not BACS.
