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

Well there were several in one area yesterday. I would have taken them all but can't as I am still on probabtion. I think it is a case of keeping an eye out.

Please can you explain the following :

once you've accepted one of a specific brand you are ineligible for the others and the disappear from your available jobs.

Pretty much as it says - some clients want to limit one shopper to one location in any one 'wave' of jobs. So before you accept a job you might be able to see two or three but once you accept one you are not allowed to do the others so can't see them.

I agree they're not going to "fall in your lap" but it is possible *if* you register with enough companies. It just requires a lot of effort, experience and building up a good track record with companies. I had 6 hours work in one town this morning but I've worked out I've been doing this for 7 years :eek:

I feel old!

I am wondering where all those jobs from yesterday disappeared to! I thought they were just taken.....This probably explains why people tend to sign up to several MS companies.

Any ides if there are better paid companies then RE ?

How many jobs did you manage to do in 6 hours? How long was each job?

What tends to make a job more difficult or time consuming?

What do MS companies consider a 'good' MS to be ? What if people just wrote general statments rather then being too specific would they eventually be out of MS ?

It would be helpful if you could share more of your experiences over the past 7 years. I am very interested to hear your views as you have been doing it for a long time.

How have you developed in MS ? How comes you chose to stick with MS for 7 years? Did you ever consider giving up ?

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

I PM'd you stoozer. I don't do it full time. Like many people I work it round the kids, and just like to be self employed. I do other stuff too. I guess it is a matter of finding out which companies suit you and your location. The starting posts on here are a very good place to start. What other work do you do?
