Whilst we're on the subject of RE. How does it work with the times of the assignments? Are they like GAP and the assignments need to be completed during the timeframe given? Or can you visit during the timeframe but leave the shop after it?

I think unless otherwise specified you have to arrive within the times specified but don't have to finish in that time as in restuarant visits...

Could somebody please let me know if the scores you get on RE allow you to get better jobs. ie the better your score the better jobs you get? I have been with them for some time now and have never had an auditing job. Thanks

If you read back through the thread I think its a 'given' that the scores mean nothing.. and as for auditing jobs I think you have to apply specifically for them. I'm sure I've seen something on the website specific to auditing...

Just the answer I was looking for, especially as it was a restaurant visit and we took our time! Thanks! :beer:

I've done a few of these and like you take my time and have never had any probs, I'm sure its just the entry time you have to consider, after all you can't be held responsible for how long it takes to be served can you....:)

Thank you for putting my mind at rest! I had a mad panic that I would not be paid as I left after the shop time. It has been a manic day today as I was on a tight schedule and nothing seemed to go to plan!

well I've done fish restaurant, italian bros and mexican and not had a query so I wouldn't worry.. I am doing a visit for a new (to me..) Company tomorrow and they state I must visit between 2 and 7... well blimey even I wouldn't take that long so at least I don't need to worry for that one..!!! although I am going with my mother and she does like to make the most of her ' freebie meals..'

I get quite a few jobs from GFK, Retail Maxim, RE and Grass Roots. I'm also with ABAi and ESA but the jobs are few and far between in my area.

I get jobs from most of the MS companies. The best idea is to sign up with as many companies as you can find out about and check the job boards on a regulare basis. I think that because there are fewer jobs in Scotland they get snapped up very quickly when they do appear.
