I have also just accepted a phone call on GFK - I too thought that I was answering the test correctly and failing it, but you have to read the notes closely as a couple of the points seem to be dealing with the same thing, when in fact they are mention 2 different outcomes/options, including the answer to the test question!

Thanks! I thought I must be wrong somewhere!

Oh that's rubbish, I live in Hampshire and there was quite a few new ones on mine. They're all Think 25 ones, not sure if that makes a difference!

That's probably why then! I'm well over 25!

I'm 23, does that mean i'm not allowed to do them? Saying that I can usually see the ones that i'm not old enough to do! :rolleyes:

Update on the closed phone stores:

A woman from GAP just called me to ask about a closed store that I couldn't do last saturday, after I had also told them I couldn't do one the week before as the site didn't exist.

She said that they've been having problems recently with the phone stores providing incorrect details and not updating shop times and locations.

I did 2 stores that were closed and she confirmed - via phone and then by email - athat I would receive £3 as a closed shop visit fee aand they have also rescheduled the assignment to an open time for me, so if I do that I will get the usual fee as well.

Thought it would be helpful for those thinking about doing stores that they suspect/know will be closed.

I've been on TNS for a week and until this morning I couldn't see any assignments anywhere in the entire country - and I'm only 22!

I saw 1 job this morning in my area, but I couldn't do it. Now I see none again.

That's a bit strange! Not to mention annoying! :rolleyes: I've been with them for just over a week and managed to bag 2 jobs.

Why don't you give them a call? They might sort it out for you.

It is rare that the MSUK Work available has jobs that are not advertised here and\or on the Office.

If you are with the Office then you'll be covered.

Addendum to this.

I posted another source of Work available a while back here it is again.

Agree with much of what you say.

FWIW, I've been asked to re-write the intro to this thread, which I'm doing, steadily, but it is taking much longer than I thought as my sparetime is somewhat limited atm.

I'm thinking of splitting it by MS company and having info such as how to release jobs on RE, how to add ABAi clients, etc etc.

Well I look forward to reading that with eager anticipation.

you're welcome.

Now, about my "MS The Office" account that has been suspended...

I'm sorry you have got me there. I don't know anything about any of your accounts nor do I know what "MS The Office" refers to.

I am surprised that someone who answers questions here with such tremendous courtesy and patience should have an account suspended. What a shame.
