  • Have signed up to Helion but haven't done the test yet. My first impression is that they seem to require a hell of a lot of personal information in the profile section! It is going to take me ages if I want to fill it all in!

    I have 16 showing as pending with Helion

    did my jobs this morning but 3 shops had changed hands or closed down so easy morning!

    pennie - it does take ages to do helion but think it will be worth it. my Id has now been deleted as well

    I've been allocated 5 mobile helion jobs for next week which i am pleased with (just wish they had been in my actual town). the training took a little while but not any worse than anywhere else. i am on a mac so suffering slightly as the screens do not work accurately for me but I am just pleased to have someone different to do work with.

    With regards to AA, I got an email straight back offering me all the jobs in Canterbury, so my guess is, as said above, they bulk-allocate it to one shopper

    Ive missed out on them then :( I hope that means the ashford ones are still a possibility for me! my email is still playing up so I received email 4 hours after it was actually sent out :mad:

    Are any of them clothes stores? Nip to the changing room and make a few notes in there! Or even in a toilet cubicle?!!!
    thats what i do as well or if not raining find a convenient bench away from any i am going in. otherwise if you get luncheon vouchers for surveys as i do i stash them for days when i do not have a coffee shop to cover then do first 4 visits and go for a coffee to do all the notes.

    in reality i dont make that many as I think I am lucky as I remember names and the like - for example I will remember ones from visits from about 5 months ago which is ridiculous waste of my brain i am sure as i could store better information than that! :rotfl:

    The Helion test keeps failing me....... :(

    I am absolutely sure I am getting the right answers.

    And who didnt spot the moonwalking bear !?

    I couldn't spot anything as none of that stuff played on the mac :eek: i guessed the answers and got through it though. possible its been changed between now and then.

    I think I have some clients missing from ABAi, such as "hardware store" from Alerts thread.

    Anyone mind PM'ing me all the client names? Currently I have the standard one that everyone has, petrol, catalogue, the cheap all-round shop beginning with "W", 2 cheap clothing shops, mobile, and 2 depertment stores, oh and the weird store.

    Made me chuckle when you said mac

    I have a Bare assignment to go to a mac suppliers, and one of the objections you need to raise is that macs arent compatible with software, websites, etc.
    Proves the point really, when you cant even get onto Helion with your mac.

    Agreed. And the site hasnt really preformed well for me.

    To be honest, I think I may give it a miss with them. And they pay in Euro, which my bank dont like anyways, costs a fortune lol
