Hi Jedi Teacher
I have noticed recently that sometimes the RE reports go through straight away and others seem to sit in my account for a week. I always think they are going to raise a query on them. I think they are taking so long due to the day that you are due to submit your report i.e. if it is a Monday they have all the weekends report to check and I have been told by them that Wednesday's is client day so they do alot of the checking on Wednesday's.

Thanks. Hopefully they'll be checked today.

Hi, please could anyone help me? I have 3 assignments for gap today and they want me to fill in pre-experience and profiling questions before I visit. The problem is I can't find them anywhere!!! How do I do this? Very grateful....

I have one that's been pending more than a week. Normally they're done within a couple of days. Perhaps the proofreaders are on holidays:cool:

I had one that was pending for over a week and I sent a casual email querying if there was anything wrong with the assignment as I hadn't heard anything. Give them a call or send them an email. I've found them to be very helpful so far. Payment has now been approved.

Click on the orientation section as you will need to complete the tests. If you have already done this, click on the ? symbol as you might have to answer around 5 questions.

This section is at the beginning of the report and I always fill it in when I do the report after the visit and have never had any queries. It is very confusing in the notes.

Thanks, I have been trying to find it for ages - tried the orientation bit and seem to have completed that so will have to do it after the shop. Had one I didn't get paid for yesterday so hopefully this will not be a problem! Otherwise might have to hang up my MS hat!! Thanks so much you two x

Anyone else find it hard to stay in a bookie shop for 15 minutes? I had 2 on saturday and the shops were empty and found it difficult to sit about and look busy for that time. I've another to do today.

This is my biggest bugbear with RE bookie visits, if the shop is empty and they frequently are, you are finished the scenario and the checks within 5 inutes and are then supposed to stand around for another 10 minutes. :rolleyes:

Anyone else just got a load of spam from TNS? FIVE separate emails about the same new project?

And does anyone else think the fee is not good enough for a 90 minute interview... and then having to complete a report afterwards? Or am I getting too picky these days?

That is so organised:A Do you want to come and sort all mine out for me:D

I do keep everything but in a heap on my desk for a couple of weeks then they all get thrown into a big box:o

Tesco have a good deal on expanding files at the moment, £3.50 and a range of colours.
I have a different pocket for each MS company and as long as I always put the new ones to the front they are stored automatically in date order.
At the end of the tax year they are all bundled together and put in a box with the tax return on the front.
This way is not so much hard work I lose interest but efficient enough if I need to find something. HTH

one of the emails send to disregard the previous email but I did receive three all together. It is a long time for a small fee and probably the reason they are sending out emails to generate interest.

Speaking of TNS, does anyone still get emails from the AM, I thought they were made redundant.
