Anyone applied for the GFK field marketing? I think it's tomorrow they get allocated.

I got allocated a few today :beer: - diary was looking a bit empty so that's good news!! They're not doing a lot of the stores near me though so not the biggest circuit. Still, every little helps!!!

I replied to emails about a Retail Active project & a fairly lucrative TNS one this week and didn't hear back about either of them, so wasn't expecting anything back from this one either... pleasantly surprised!

Has anyone had the follow up instructions etc for the Bare test centre job?

No, I entered my details etc, but not heard anything back yet....

I asked this before, but don't think anyone saw it (or maybe no-one knows!). Should there be some orientation for the Gyp chicken jobs? I know they've got the client as I can see a menu update on the News bit, but I never see the jobs and have no link for orientation?

Have emailed them and asked the question, but not expecting a reply any time soon - perhaps they will sack me now for asking questions :eek:

Thanks and hope someone can help

I don't seem to be able to see any of the RE jobs that have been on the ALERTS thread recently (i.e. restaurants, pubs, sandwich shops, hotels, pasties... to name but a few!). In fact, I think my available jobs have been stuck on the same (very low) number for a few days now, thinking about it! Can anyone else not see them, or do I need to be ringing RE techie people?! Ta

Mine hadn't changed for days then logged on tonight and lots of new ones had appeared and looks like they're doing an upload woohoo

Perhaps they haven't uploaded your area yet? I would keep checking for the rest of the night and if its still a low number in the morning I'd give them a ring. Think they've been too busy proof reading all the bookies to send any more work out :rotfl:

Did anyone have any decent wins by the way? I won £3 on one and £4.06 on another... Ah well every little helps :cool:

I'm still a newbie myself, SF but have you tried using a different browser? It's a bit of an obvious suggestion i know. I use Opera, Firefox and IE but i have to experiment to see which website works with which browser. For me, Gyp works fine on Opera. HTH .

Same here, had nothing new for days. Just got in from work and now there are some ripe pickings to be had :T Think you'll get something soon SF!

Not me, either. I put an enquiry through the site first thing Monday am, but nothing heard back so far.

I don't know if this could be relevant ....

I got booted off these jobs a while back and asked for an explanation. Surprisingly, I got one: apparently I don't have "the right profile" for these jobs. I was told that the client had become selective and I did not "fit". Even though I asked what bit of me didn't fit, there was no other info forthcoming!
