    Signed up to a couple of MS last night, need to complete test assignments for two of them before I get any work but RE had a list of 150 odd jobs to choose from - beats the usual 2 or 3 I get from GFK!
    I've got my first job on the 17th at a bookies, just around the corner from where I live, wish me luck!

    Is this your first job with RE?

    If so would you do me a favour and time how long it takes you to complete the report? Just out of pure curiosity!

    Good luck. I've got a few of these too. Think they want you to hang around a disproportionate amount of time for how much the bet is!!!! Will see how it goes.

    Friday, yippee!

    I have some motor jobs with Bare to do. Could I ask those of you a few questions

    1) do you call the garage in advance (seems a bit susicious I thought)
    2) are the first choices available or are you having to source nearest thing (I'm dreading going off spec)
    3) how do you run out the door after putting on a convincing act you want to buy TODAY?

    Thanks in advance

    1) do you call the garage in advance (seems a bit susicious I thought) This is quite normal call and ask for the opening hours as you want to pop down to look at a car. Loads of people travel a distance to buy a car.
    2) are the first choices available or are you having to source nearest thing (I'm dreading going off spec) Ive never gone too much off spec the dealership will tell you if they are discontinuing a certain model and its being replaced with X
    3) how do you run out the door after putting on a convincing act you want to buy TODAY? I normally say, thats great, im going to meet my partner now for (lunch or whatever) and I will get back to you this afternoon he/she is the one with the Criedt card!

    PS GIVE FAKE DETAILS



    Thanks in advance

    HHx

    hope this helps ive done lots of these

    Mmm think quality as opposed to quantity.

    Grr, I hope GR won't be going the way of RE. Doing a job this lunchtime and re-reading through the notes and questionnaire and there is so much to report on for a pittance of a fee! Wish I hadn't taken it on now but unfortunately they do not let you see the questionnaire beforehand. They are my favourite company to work for due to their questionnaires but I won't be taking any more of these particular assignments anymore! The client may be a new or potential one. I'm sure Abai give these jobs to their super shoppers, although I'm not lucky enough to be one of these!

    All 45 done!

    * 3 of them back saying i need to do a second chance email
    * 1 back saying age the dvd's even though it states this takes you to a different site.

    I have been assured a phone call when the lady at edig is back in monday about the random ones.

    Just a bit annoyed. worked my bum off doing them and done them well, only to be told it's my fault i haven't got an email back as i asked the wrong question lol feel like i'm in RE land


    oooh well done! bet you are relieved they are done! :D
