They are longer than a GAP questionnaire but IMHO they are not that bad.
As you say they are usually well paid.

At least it's not 10,000 words and 30 photos as per CHG :eek:

30? Bl00dy hell, I end up sending nearer 50. :eek:

Have you had eticket yet?

Yay -two coffee jobs that fit in with the posh car locations ......same MS company too

The car location seems to be short on shoppers in that area (I don't normally go that far but the car fee made it worthwhile as I got quite a few in the area) perhaps I need to add that postcode to some of the other MS sites

This month's MSing will cover the cost of my air ticket to Vegas in August (Yes too hot and too expensive but I'm going out for a specific event)

Interesting problem. RE have sent me a message saying that i visited the wrong shop. i went to 4 when i should have gone to 68-70.

To my knowledge there is only one shop. I have never seen another, but, when i enter the address on google it does bring up 2 different shops. Problem is, when i press 68-70 it takes me to the shop i went to (which is apparently no 4)

How i'm meant to know is beyond me as none of the shops have numbers on. Little bit annoyed as i don't see how i could have avoided unless i had walked in and asked the address, which i'm guessing is a give away.

If there are two shops on the same road without numbers on what the sausage am i meant to do. (especially as google map supports me)

Rant over

I have had that problem before, 2 of the same bookies on the same road, no numbers. If I come across that, I google the name of the shop either side to see what number comes up, or when looking on google street view. Either that or type in for eg, 66 whatver street,(as you are looking for 68-70) and see what the name of the shop is that coes up. Should give you an idea then of what is next to it hopefully.:j

Had i realised there were two i would have been a little more careful. Giving that a go now and the shops i'm googling are low numbers. So looks like i did visit no 4, but i think thats bloody unfair.

Not gonna get paid am i.

I'd send them your google evidence but yeah I think you'd be lucky to get paid

I went to the wrong sports shop in a mall in Liverpool, not realising there were 2 the same in there on different levels Doh! So know how you feel. Who puts 2 of the same shop in a small shopping mall haha!

I don't think that's true. I know that many know Max from his days with another company but I didn't and I still managed to get 4 shops from them. I also live in a big city where there is high competition. The only thing that I did do on Max's request was to email him. I consider it to be networking more than being one of an "elitist few".

I work for another company where I know I am not one of their favourites (which is a shame as I love the work!) but they do regularly call on me for help when they're let down. However I'm never offered the work in the first instance, so I rarely get anything that's in the most local places to me. The annoying thing is that I know that unless I prove myself to them by going out of my way to help them then I won't get into their favourites list.

I did everything that Max asked too but still never got any jobs despite applying for about 15! I have never seen any jobs in my area since the initial wave so not much chance to prove myself either :rotfl:

I picked up a RE overnight hotel job that was a reshop.
The original shopper had gone to the wrong Hotel!

I know there were three in the same area but:doh:
Must have cost her a couple of £100's for that mistake :eek:
