    I've not had an e mail but my report status is "finalized" :cry:

    i guess you arent going to get sent the grades then. i didnt get them for one of my jobs. i think its becuase they are looking into the process and maybe once they knew there wads an isuse with the grading they have not sent out emails to the later dates... or something like that. i did my jobs on 6th so maybe everyones that were after this will not be sent grades. from my point of view i thought the grading was fine as i got 100% but that was probably an error as Bare and REACT are not as generous :o

    I took the 1 burger job and now cant see any more and I have 9 jobs hidden from me so i presume some of us can only select 1.

    thanks i went to do the test straight away but did not need to do it as i had done the same scenario and test for a different branch last week (max is 3 visits this wave).


    I've done quite a few last minute jobs of the same wave recently and only had to complete the test on one occasion. Also booked some jobs for this week some time ago and again only needed to do the test once.

    Morning,

    Can anyone tell me if they've had their mid month RE money in yet?

    Thanks!

    Depends on the type of shop, without any clue I can't really say. TNS supermarkets for example you can usually buy anything you want, but TNS pubs they specify what they need you to buy.


    Pennies I saw you whip that burger job from under my nose, your finger is about 2 seconds faster than mine ;)
    Not guilty! Went to submit my answers to the test and I was too slow. :(
    Mmmm, think that may have been me if we're talking about euro park. :embarasse

    It still shows the test and it allows you to do it again, but you don't have to if they're the same wave, you can just print the cover sheet and questionnaire. :j

    Has anyone every done and audit for GFK that is Airside? rang the shop yesterday to tell them I was coming and she told me just to bring ID and that she didn't need to book me in....wasn't sure if thats right - can anyone shed any light on what the procedure is normally?

    I did one airside store once. The agency was told that the product I had to audit was in the landside shop, but when I got there and explained to the manageress, she said it was only available airside but she would take me through.

    I had to go to a security desk with my ID and fill in a form to get a temp pass. Then I had to go up and queue with all the people going on flights and go through the metal detector etc. I had a small briefcase with me and had a pair of scissors confiscated as I wasn't allowed to take them airside. They also asked if I had any liquids or make-up which I didn't.

    My briefcase was scanned and then they did some further checks on it, looking in all the pockets then got swabbed and tested. I assume they were checking for drugs or explosives, but I'm not sure.

    Got through to the shop and the lady had to stay with me while I did my audit, as I wasn't allowed to be unattended at any time. She just tidied shelves up around me while I was busy. Then she had to escort me back through baggage reclaim and back to the security desk where I handed my pass.

    It was a bit of a hassle and time consuming, so not something I would do on a regular basis. However the company were kind enough to give me a bit extra cash to cover the extra time I spent going through security.

    has anyone had any of their reports graded by REACT yet?

    I've got two outstanding from the 6th and 7th. They were my first jobs for React so I'm hoping I get some feedback.
    Here I go again on my own....

    did anyone take the postal jobs with GFK yesterday? I dont think they like me today.... I just got the big red warning sign that a job has been deallocated that can effect your work in the future. I have emailed them. this one was worth minimal amount and they just use your address so there was nothing in the notes I needed to do apart from wait for the post to arrive. hope the same has not happened to anyone else (when I took it I set the date as early as possible so if you still have one may be worth making the date as late as possible to check that the same system errors does not happen).

    well mine didn't show a test and they never normally do for me, once I have done the test once for all the same jobs I cannot retake the test as it shows as completed. As some other people have the same thing happening maybe it depends on when you started with GFK - I only started last year.

    As for today I think there could be a problem with my account as just had a postal job deallocated from me as well for no reason. hopefully they will email me back and explain what is going on :o Luckily I do not have any other current work with them so no chance of any more red deallocation notices appearing :o
