I have just recieved an email from ABAi reminding me about a job (I was on the reserve list). This is my first with them and have a stupid question.

where are the job details? breifing notes, pay etc. all it says is i have the job booked but nothing else.

I presume you mean you're logging in and can't find the details.

(I would offer to point you to where the details should be, but I mystery shop for a different organisation, sorry).

Has anyone done one of the 'new' style posh sandwich reports? So much easier and no repetition! Let's hope it's a sign of things to come for RE...

Yes, great wasn't it!!

Are you sure you've been allocated the job, and it wasn't just an email to say the job was now available? They don't automatically allocate the job to you, you still have to go online and accept it.

Log onto your ABA-i account, and click on "List my visits" then "book visits". Is it showing up there?

Does anyone find assignments for ****** more popular among fellow pannelists than for banks or mobile phone shops.

Please remove client name from your post.

Yes, and the underground sandwich shop reports are SO much easier too, much more realistic amount of work involved for the fee I think, and no more having to take a pic of the store, hooray!

Anyone done any work for Consumer Intelligence?

Signed up last month and have been offered an assignment from them. Fee looks ok, how are their questionnaires? Any info appreciated.

Has anyone had queries from RE recently about receipts? I got the usual slew of emails saying I had proof reading queries, but obviously not telling me what the queries were, no that would be too straightforward. So I logged and checked my messages. Both queries were saying that they hadn't received or couldn't read the receipt. I've checked my images and they are both very clear. I always scan my receipts and have never had a problem before.

I've re-sent the original images as I can't see what I can do to make them clearer. Just wondered if anyone else had this problem, as I wondered if they had a problem at their end that made them unable to see pictures properly?

Exactly the same query came back to me, twice for the same receipt (taken another set in between) all clear as a bell my end, but fuzzy there's apparantly, I ended up giving the details over the phone... Glad it wasn't me then.. thought my eyes must have been playing up:rotfl:

Is RE worth joining if you are a newbie to MS? I've heard mixed things about them but want to be doing more jobs. I've done 1 store visit through GAP and am calling 2 banks tonight through optimum contact but that's it. I'm a member if ABAI but nothing in my area at mo.

Are there any others that generally have lots of jobs?

I've just done my first RE job. For weeks I've seen the odd pub job, but ignored them because the fee is so low (and I don't drink), so I thought I wouldn't get to do anything else.
Last week though I saw, and booked a supermarket delivery job with a good expenses amount. I've done that, and I'm now seeing different new jobs.
If you want more work through them quickly you might want to do a couple of their pub jobs just to get your foot in the door.

Aaaaaaarrrgghhhhh!

This morning I forgot:
-to get a receipt for my breakfast
- to make a small purchase in an outdoor store
- the name of the guy who served me in another store
-to go to one store entirely

At least I was able to go back and rectify mistake 2. poo, pants and bother. I can make up for no 4 tomorrow.

Had a little senior moment did we. Or was it a blonde. We have all been there. Considering how long I have done this last week did a cat shop for Abai. Got home and though SUGAR didn't get the left and right. Got it though on a pdf pic of the shopping mall via google.

I keep a record of all my lefts and rights now.
