    React - Clothing jobs this weekend

    Hi I'm confused!

    Is anyone doing any of the winter clothing jobs this weekend. I've just been reading the info and can't work out if I do or don't need to make a purchase!
    How does anyone else read it?

    You do not need to make a purchase. I emailed them to check this last week. Hope that helps!
  • I can't believe how easy it is to register as self-employed! A lovely guy on the phone, 2 mins, done! Why didn't I do this years ago?!

    I never get them either


    Sorry it could be me. I have done about 9 in the last few months.
  • Quick bingo question. I've got a evening session with GFK tonight, I take it I don't need to ask for receipts for the books/food/bar etc?

    The briefing notes don't specifiy I need to upload or collect anything but i've never done job before where I havn't needed some sort of evidence i'd been (especially for the amount GFK are paying) so I thought i'd just double check.

    No receipts needed. I`ve always been paid so is not a problem.

    Hi- I am new to Mystery Shopping and have a bit of a query.

    I accepted a job with Assosia this Sunday after they sent out an email. I have been told I can do the job but should have received an authorisation letter and a list of products, and I have received neither.
    In one of the e-mails it says they need to be downloaded from the project site but when I go in, it says under construction? It also says I should have a text message but didn't get one!

    Does anyone have any experience with this company? Am I doing something wrong?

    Please be gently with me if I have posted on the wrong thread.

    Thanks so much.

    Hi

    I would ring them and explain this to them. This company takes confidentiality very seriously and does not like to be discussed at all on the internet so sorry I can’t be much more help.

    Make a note of the key points in the brief that you have to remember on your mobile phone notes or in a draft message (or on a piece of paper in your pocket/bag) That way if your brain becomes dead (as mine does on occasions) you can check in the changing rooms and make a note of what you have done and what you haven't.

    Thank you to Rosy Violet and other MSE's who have given me advice I will let you know how I get on! :beer:

    Well, it certainly isn't me either although I have just been allocated one today!! This will be my 3rd job for them after applying for LOADS. So I don't seem to be hogging them all :confused:

    Give them a ring on the mobile phone number you've been given and they will sort it out. They're nice and won't mind you ringing. Red fox is right in saying they prefer you to contact them direct rather than discuss them on forums.
    Here I go again on my own....
