quick question

thanks angela

I did 3 the Wednesday before last. A jewellery audit and 2 x fat'n'frumpy clothes shops. Was paid for the jewellery audit Wednesdya just gone, still waiting for the others.

I am starting to think about my first mystery shop. Perhaps someone could help with the following questions...

Would it be possible to pay using a credit card rather then cash and use that reciept to claim back the costs?

At what point will the questionairre become available to fill in on RE? On the day of the assignment perhaps?

How detailed does the questionairre have to be?

How long does it usually take to fill out these questionairres?

I am thinking of printing off the assignment notes and Questionairre and then making notes on the day under each question and then coming back and typing up my notes on the pc. This should'nt be a problem right?

If i can get 5 of these done in say 5 hours incl report writing then i would be reasonably happy.

What is the highest anyone has been paid from an assignment on RE?

As long as you have a receipt unless told to pay a certain way it doesnt matter (but it has to be a til receipt you submit not a card machine reciept).

At what point will the questionairre become available to fill in on RE? On the day of the assignment perhaps?
It's there all along.

How detailed does the questionairre have to be?
Read it, different jobs different levels of detail.

How long does it usually take to fill out these questionairres?
Depends on the job.

Its probably to be recommended!

If i can get 5 of these done in say 5 hours incl report writing then i would be reasonably happy.
Good luck.

What is the highest anyone has been paid from an assignment on RE?
Different jobs different fees different reimbursements - none of which can be discussed in detail because of the confidentiality clause you agreed to when you signed up.

Hope that helps.

At what point will the questionairre become available to fill in on RE? On the day of the assignment perhaps? It is available as soon as you accept the job.

How detailed does the questionairre have to be? How long is a piece of string. It varies but RE do want quite a bit of detail, sometimes the questions are very repetitive.

How long does it usually take to fill out these questionairres? For RE I'd say minimum 20 minutes including uploading photos.

I am thinking of printing off the assignment notes and Questionairre and then making notes on the day under each question and then coming back and typing up my notes on the pc. This should'nt be a problem right? That's fine.

If i can get 5 of these done in say 5 hours incl report writing then i would be reasonably happy. Not sure how you're going to get 5 RE jobs in 5 hours but good luck trying.

What is the highest anyone has been paid from an assignment on RE? Sorry but we're not allowed to discuss rates of pay on here due to the confidentality agreement we have all signed with RE.

I plan to get 5 jobs done in 5 hours by trying to do them in the same location. There were a number of jobs posted all in the same location yesterday.

I am also going to try and do ones that are very convenient, 30 mins or so from home. Not going to take up jobs with a longer commute then that due to time.

As for the questionairre being available, I can't seem to type anything in the fields, they are all blanked out nor can i fill in any of the tick boxes.

What costs am I allowed to offset against my earnings?

Yes, maybe, but you'll find with RE jobs, once you've accepted one of a specific brand you are ineligible for the others and the disappear from your available jobs.

I am also going to try and do ones that are very convenient, 30 mins or so from home. Not going to take up jobs with a longer commute then that due to time. I hope they fall in your lap as easily as you think they will.

As for the questionairre being available, I can't seem to type anything in the fields, they are all blanked out nor can i fill in any of the tick boxes. Well you can read it - how can you fill it in before you've done the job?

What costs am I allowed to offset against my earnings?Depends what you are expected to purchase.[/QUOTE]

So you think that 5 jobs are going to fall into your lap, on the same day in the same place. Dream on!!!

Yup. You can add individual users to your ignore list through the user control panel.
