Woooohoo!!!!!!!!!!:j:j:j:j:j

I emailed React, and within 15 minutes, I had a phone call, kind explaination of how it all works, and an offer of a good job, so nice day out for the family coming up ;o)

Thanks everyone :T:T

Who did you speak to?

I emailed them and didn't get a reply about something. And on a different matter emailed again, she got the wrong end of the stick so explained further.

I wanted to know if they take where you live into account when assigning the jobs e.g. pick somebody closer and expenses will be cheaper

I do work at my partners house which is 70 miles so looks like i'm applying for jobs way out but from my partners house the shops are only 10/15 miles. But obviously they don't know this.

Never got a reply.

The hot weather seems to have caused a sense of humour loss.

Sorry if it offended anyone but you will see that I do try and be helpful most of the time where I can but silly questions just irritate me.

Mystery shopping requires observation skills with a bit of common sense thrown in. Silly questions just show that the poster has neither of these.

Anyone know if TNS have lost the coffee jobs? Haven't seen a new wave on there for a while.

I had one allocated for May but had to cancel it. I don't think they've lost it...unless anyone knows otherwise?

Hi there, I emailed the person that was listed on my 'welcome' email when I first joined up with them. The email said to email this person if I ever had any queries. Then another guy who does the allocations (I think) called me himself to discuss... Not sure if I'm allowed to mention names or not?

I think they do take distance into account. That's just my observation as the only jobs they allocate to me seem to be within walking distance of my house, even though I had applied for assignments further afield.

Nope, they had a wave that ran from the 2nd week of April until the end of the 1st week this month, so I shouldn't think they have. They seem to be less frequent than they once were (credit crunch probably?) which means rather than monthly they seem to be every other month/every three months (not quite got the timing nailed down).

React always get back to me quickly if I email them.

I just wondered as the jobs for June for the coffee shops seem slow in being released.

No sense of humour loss here, nice of you to start with a dig. Who is to judge a silly question, whoever is asking it obviously wants a reply and deserves something sensible in return. If you dont know the answer or you think its silly I hardly think replying with a sarcastic reply makes you any better than what you think of the original poster.
