Can anyone who has done the Gfk jobs for the children related phone calls let me know if you are having any issues with the quiz? I think my answers are correct but I am unable to pass?

Telling you that you were assigned it or something else?

I have to say I've applied for lots of jobs in response to their several emails a day and never been assigned one. I'm also on the point of asking them to remove my details.

As a newbie, I have registered with them and applied for 1 assignment so far for a place 50 yards from my work location, never heard back from them. However they did call me today for an emergancy MS. Dont they realise that most of us have full time employment and cannot drop everything and travel 40 mile immediately.

I know what you mean monkey, they phoned me while I was out earlier today and tried to pressurise me into a job that's over an hour away (and all country roads so rotten journey), and when I said a firm NO they got quite nasty. I wouldn't mind but out of the6 jobs I applied for recently I got a grand total of...... Zero :mad: so I didn't particularly feel like doing them a favour:rolleyes:.

I got that one today from then and had to turn it down also.....:o

Hurrah we've been stickied again! Thanks to whoever arranged that.

Although having said that it's not going to be too long before we're on XII the rate we're getting through these pages.

Hi,

I was having problems with those calls. It was the question about recording the calls I was getting wrong according to GFK when I contacted them. The answer was number 2. Hope this helps.

Has anyone been able to get onto Retail Maxim to night. It seems to be taking ages to load up.

Just want some advise. Just did a cat job.

Might not be an issue so people advise if I am just getting worked up for nothing.

Paid for item as cash desk. I went towards the seating area. My number was called immediatly and the item was available as soon as I got there. I saw the item before i walked it there.

This was way too quick. It took practically took them 10-20 seconds. Reciept stated 5 minutes. I usually buy things from argos and always have wait atleast a minute.

It just seemed too strange for it to be that quick.

Do you i should mention in my report? Has anyone else done cat job. I picked the speakers. How long did it take you from after payment to receiving goods as it took me around 25 seconds

Extremely pleased about this Sunday!! Doing 4 jobs for the same company, an amusment and leisure company who own several Theme Parks, horror attractions, aquariums, waxwork exhibitions and a giant wheel in London.

Get to go to several attractions and enjoy the day there for free, with no cost to pay up front - that'll do me! Sad that i'll be going on my own, but hey, why on Earth not?!

im sooo jealous! i applied for all of those too (well the ones for two near me). have a fantastic time!! im off to see a movie on saturday so thats something

Im sure it wont be an issue just put exactly what happened in your report. So for example put how long you were advised your wait would be and then in reality how long it then was. Ive done lots this month and got offered 1 more today to do friday, but I used different items. dont think that makes a difference as been different in every place anyhow. had some where wait was longer and then had to queue and I cant see how it will be a problem as you (or I) are just reporting on what actually happened compared to the timescale they are working to. if they have any queries they will just email you for you to explain
