    Thank you both for your replies :)

    There is no other employment so I do want to list it as self employed to show that he is doing something and as you said, it makes him sound responsible. Does Independent Consumer Researcher sound off the mark, he doesn't audit so I can't use that and I'm not sure how I feel about assessor.
    Echoing the rest I would put it on the CV as self employed. I have compliance auditor as my title and that does cover both normal auditing work and mystery shopping. Also you can big it up by showing, for example, 4 companies in 1st year, 6 in year 2 etc so it shows he is in demand because of his outstanding work. Perhaps even put some score in that wont mean anything to most people but things like and average scoring of 9/10 over the last 30 jobs for X company.
    Couldn't think of anything witty to say so just keeping the space until I can :(

    thats excellent idea! I am now going to have to start adding this to my CV - if I ever apply for another job that is as I cant stand trying :mad:!! If you are new to this like me give the average score and instead of number of jobs could always do it as percentage. for example 6 jobs with Bare average rating is 8. but instead of putting that you could put 80% of jobs completed scored =>8/10. Or as 8 and 9 out of 10 are 80% and 90% put Average score for all jobs for Bare 80-90%. Something that sounds really good and obviously if they ever needed evidence that its true you have all the data they could need.

    Plus also with the companies for example with me in month 1 I worked for 2 companies and now in month 2 5 companies and now in start of month 3 I am working for 10 companies so this would sound good too :beer:

    I'm pretty sure the notes for the last one I did said you werent allowed to use the reimbursement towards livestock, might be worth checking the notes again just in case, although even if they have changed it I wouldnt trust that particular store anyway (had problems with fish from several different branches bringing infections in to my aquaria:mad:).

    Guess you could get a gift voucher tho' and get the fish later with it?

    On the alerts thread it says toy shops and sandwiches on RE, but I can't see any. Can anyone see any up North?

    Hiya, the French sandwiches are all in the SW! The toy store I think is only in London (but I could be wrong)! Sorry! :eek:

    Aww, I got so excited at all the RE alerts, dashed over there (mistyping my username in all the excitement).... to find 1 job. Miles away and a dodgy pub at that.
