Don't know how well I've done with TNS as I got the questions wrong a few times.

Is there any way you can be told if an upload has been done do you know?

I've looked on BARE and I'm too old for the mobile phone jobs and now I've signed up for the eDigital Research I've had to put myself into the 41-50 age range - it broke my heart sniff sniff!!!!

I know how you feel. Just turned 41! Agghh. Far too old to be pushing a stroller.
You should also sign up for Corporate Research International. They are an American based company and regularly want shoppers to do nursing home viewing visits under the assumption you have an elderly relative needing care. You need to be over 43 for these visits but they let me off when I put in an email request. The pay is astronomical! They are based in the USA so you need a paypal account in order to get your money but they are very easy assignments, easy reports and they pay within 4 weeks. I have done two of these assignments and received a top score on both. I have also received my payment which has now been spent!

I need a little bit of advice I am due to do my first large supermarket for TNS today, and have been asked to assess/ask questions at some of the counters and areas of the store, however when I look at the questionnaire there is a huge list of staff members that I need to ask questions to which are not on the list that I have - how do I fill in the questionnaire when I am not asking questions in these areas?

Thanks for all your advice.

When you enter your report, only the relevant departments that you were suppose to visit will show up on the online report.

From Alerts thread:

red store ABA-i

Which red store is it? I've checked the three red ones that I have but can't see that any more have been added

Update: Ah, don't worry I think it's the W one?! None my way though...

I've just done my first underground sandwich job and for the first time I made a boo-boo :mad:

I forgot to check if there were toilets!!!!!

I haven't set the date for the assignment yet as I only got it this morning, I guess I'll have to do it at the weekend again.

So annoyed with myself!! :rolleyes:

This is because they are expecting you and are trying to suss out who the MSer is. I always say "Oh, um, yeah ok, sure" in a confused way.

The staff are not told when the MS'er will be on site. The site manager will know roughly what period, but even they are not told specifics just in case they tell the staff.

It's annoying but I bet you remember to check next time!

I've been doing this for years and forgot to do a left and right yesterday Luckily I'd parked just past the shop, and was filling in the report before I left, so it was no hassle to go back and check.

I did that with a dine in dinner job the other day and ended up having to cancel the job after spending £20 on dinner as I couldn't face doing it again!
