It took about 6 days for me to come off probation, during which time there were loads of jobs I could have done.

Now I'm off probation there's nothing on there apart from 2 pharmacies and a sandwich shop 8 miles from here!

Typical eh

Oh no! In the past 2 days I've seen clothing shops & entertainment shops come & go!

Maybe I should stop tormenting myself & stop looking.

For those asking about proof reading, its worth mentioning that the details of how they deal with the Posh sandwiches has changed. Might be worth re-reading the assignment notes again. Basically, they allow Pret 7 days to respond before they let the report go through they're processes......at least thats how I understood it

Is anyone doing the edigitial surveys ? I need to email the company I'm assessing but I'm not sure what to ask, is it a pre-determined question on the work info which I can't find or do I make up my own question.

TIA

Hiya Creaker

I'm doing those and you could use any pretext for the email questions. I usually ask the cost of international shipping to ... (let your imagination go wild) or how long will do I have before I could send something back for a refund. I used the same scenarios for the phone calls too.;)

Thanks xfive71, do you have to do a telephone call and an email or is each assignment different as I think mine only indicates an email.

Thanks

Hi all, I've recently become interested in MS and have already completed two visits for Grassroots. Can anyone recommend any other companies?

Ideally I'm looking for jobs which don't involve a purchase being made, but I know that's not always possible. I registered with some companies that do a lot of KFC/McD visits and pizza takeaways (many of you can probably guess which company I'm referring to), but the recompense seems barely worth it.

I've also registered with e-Digital, Retail Eyes, Secret Shopping Services, KSS Int'l for for one reason or another have not had the chance to undertake any visits for them.

I realise that there are a few other threads on this subject (believe me, I am slowly ploughing through them), but I wonder if, in the meantime, anyone has any really good recommendations to make.

Thanks in advance,

N

I can recommend Abai, Bare, GFK, React , ISC, ESA and TNS. I believe there are links on the first page for all of these. For those that do not require a purchase out of the ones I have mentioned Bare, GFK, React (sometimes) and ESA (sometimes) would be best. Hope that helps Nikolai and good luck !

Hiya Creaker

That could be it. Mine included a phone call as part of the survey. Not too hard really - just count the number of buttons you had to press before reaching the live operator and reporting on the quality of service.

I have been offered two car companies to do on Bare, is it 20 euros PER PLACE or in total? This is around £18.50 yes? I am quite tempted by the money, bit annoyed ther are only two though! They are a 30mins drive away from me (which the woman mentioned in the email and was concerned that i wouldnt be interested) but that shouldn't be a problem.

Hi aplaceinthesun, thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely check them out. I have recently registered with Abai, however I was rejected by TNS (no work in my area, apparently) and I think I have had the same with GFK, although I will check.
