i just did it and it said that. you need to look at the notes and click on practice test and work through that. it says its the practice test but once i did it it said congrats your certified! so just do the practice test and it should work.

i got an email yest saying i had to do it before i did any april visits or they would be released

I did the practice test last week and got the congratulations message too. The practice test is now greyed out as is the actual test, so I presumed that it was all done & OK. I have got April visits booked and haven't heard anything.

Morning All

Another busy day ahead! a curvy store, two corner shops, pizza dine-in for lunch and five crisp jobs.

Uploaded some of the crisp jobs I'd done already last night....how easy is it now??

Looking forward to a day doing nothing but cooking and eating tomorrow

Have a good one

recording a phone call conversation. I always get nervous doing these jobs :eek:. Then I have a pub job to complete. Just hope the weather cheers up as i'm not in the mood to schlep up there by myself in the rain . It wouldn't be so bad if i could bring a friend along.

Otherwise, i've a quiet day ahead (apart from a mountain of ironing to do ). Will be using the time to apply for a few more MS companies :beer:.

Oooh, just remember i've a pizza job as well. Was looking forward to this assignment :drool: but i'm feeling a little peaky today. So i don't think i'll enjoy it much .

Enjoy your day JC. I'm off tomorrow and can't wait to put me tootsie up for a whole day .

Have a great weekend all :T.

A steady day for me too today:

• Mobile phone shop
• Travel Agents
• Burger place (for lunch)
• Supermarket
• Italian Brothers (for tea)
• And I'm sure there's one I've forgotten...

And then I'm off to the seaside for the rest of the weekend with no assignments while I'm there :beer: (I did originally accept our accomodation as an assignment but cancelled the job as we would have to stay in dorms and I don't think my mother was up to that! :rotfl:)
Have a great Easter everyone, happy MSing :D:D

How slowly do Secret Shopping Services pay please, anyone that's done work for them? I have been allocated a jewellery visit but can't find anywhere on their site about pay times.

Hiya,

I did 4 visits on 3 Feb - 100 dollars and still haven't been paid :mad: I don't think I will take any more work from them, this is too slow. I was promised payment on 31 March. Not had a reply to email since Monday.:mad:

Mmm, may think twice about this one then. And if they don't reply to emails then you're stuck really aren't you, unless you want to telephone the States :eek:.

Were they the jewellery visits btw?

Are we all now assuming that the burger 'Practice test' is for real? All I can do is check next time I apply for a job (or get pushed into doing one) that the actual test still shows as completed. I don't really want to cram in a rush job and then find that I have to do the real certification test before I can submit the results.

I see that at least one of you (Linz81, see above) is burgering today. Can you please post feedback on the validity of your test status when you come to report the job?

Many thanks!

I haven't done any work for them since 4Q 2009. All the work I have ever done for them has paid within 6 weeks (minimum time was 3 weeks). I have never had a problem with them paying (and have never chased payments).

I've never had a problem till now. I missed the pay run for end Feb that's why it was put to end arch but hasn't landed yet. As for emails, again, I have never had a problem and Judith has always replied so I guess there is an explanation. However, I still think it's a long time to wait to be paid.
