Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but my brain is fried after a LONG day at work and I cannot bear to read through 148 pages.

I have received an e-mail from a 'bird's name' consultancy, based in Shropshire, offering me the 'chance' to join up as a mystery shopper.

Following the link to the sign up form brings you to what they classify as a 'test': doing a mystery shop on a jewellers, and submitting it. Only when you have done the visit, and submitted the report, do they decide if you have 'passed'.

Now, I may just be naturally cynical, but is this company basically angling for people who will do free mystery shops for them? I do not see any mention of payment for doing the mystery shop.

Anyone with the ternerity to respond, it would be appreciated!:)

I wouldnt bother with them I did one job and then due to an entirely different reason I was no longer needed so them and GAP are the worst IMHO:(

Looks good. Otherwise google maps does a pretty adequate job. Only problem is you're limited to 26 addresses.

google maps hasnt been working for me all week so i have stopped using it :mad:

If anyone did the pet store online jobs for RE last week, and still has access to the briefing notes, could they please PM me??

I'm in a bit of an argument with them about it ...............

Thanks for the positive vibes everyone, I think the interview went well. I know I'm not going to get the job though. It's internally within my dept and my manager has already told me that someone else will get it. Still, I gave it my all, a few nods and "excellents". One horrible question from my manager basically just picking on the negatives of my first ever job in the company where I was *ahem* asked to leave the job.

wow thats a bit mean. why bother interviewing other people if they already have the job away to someone else?

I've been in that position where I've gone for a job but I know that it's just a formality the department has to go through because they already know who they're going to appoint. Just try to think of it as interview experience.
