Re GFK emails

The last box on the coversheet of mine under data entry requirements 3

Says " Then wait for the requisite amount of time before completing the rest of the questionnaire ie when you receive a full response or 10 working days from sending your email - whichever comes first"

Hope that helps

Yay! I just got my most recent report back from bare and I got 9/10! That's really cheered up me for the day, hopefully having an average of 9 will mean I get offered more jobs now.

Now I have 3 to do today, all in my horrible little town (!!!) so not too much travelling for me to do.

GRRRRRRRRRRR. Just tried to submit 2 reports to GAP. They both told me I had errors, but they were correct answers about the description of the staff member. I left them blank and the form submitted but now there are answers left blank which you would not think would submit!! Anyway I have emailed them to explain./ Do you think that is sufficient cos the jobs were quite far and i dont want to not get paid!!

If you emailed to explain, and emailed them with the descriptions - I imagine that would be fine. They've just updated the WebExpress system haven't they so maybe there are a few teething problems. You did the report right, and have provided them with all the information so think you stand in a good position.

Well done but I have an average of 9 and it doesn't seem to have made a difference for me

Ditto for me - I actually have an average of 10 and it hasn't brought me anything...

I have my first BARE job tomorrow so I'm hoping I get a good score on my report - I'm definitley going to give it my all. Can't see them being a huge contributor to my MS'ing work though as it'll be rare I can get jobs with them. I'm too young for most of them - car circuits in particular - and I'd probably have to travel a lot to do any jobs for them anyway.

I guess I'll wait and see. Some people do amazingly well with them and they do seem to pay quite well. I'd like to do more although that depends on how well tomorrow goes!

Everyone ruins my fun with getting good marks!!

Got another question now!
I'm doing a big supermarket later for TNS again and i'm slightly confused with one aspect. I have the 3 or 4 areas which i'm asking questions in, but in the report it says other areas in which the questionnaire asks if they gave correct response, the name of staff etc. So what do you tick for these? Or are you just expected not to assess those and just do the ones you've been given to focus on?

Edit: I just read them again and it all seems a lot clearer now i've read them 100 times! I just don't know what to tick for the departments i'm not required to assess (the different rotation options). Oh well, guess it will be obvious when I fill the form in later!.

On the proper on line questionaire only the departments you have to assess appear. To check you are visiting all the relevant departments have a look at the (I think) second page of your link. It will say something like, "departments present at this store" and then "departments required to visit" you have to do someting in all these departments. I really don't like the wording of this, and rather than "present at this store" I think it should read something like "departments which always form part of an MS" and then "extra departments to visit on this occasion". You do always have to go to CS and check the noticeboards!

Good God, it would appear that RE have more than 12,000 shoppers on their books! No wonder all the jobs get snapped up so quickly. If you read their message regarding the results of one of their recent surveys, they say that they received over 12000 results - and that's just the shoppers that took part in the survey. I wonder how many more there are that didn't do it! :eek:
