    I don't mind the REACT attraction visits TBH. I see them as payback time for my kids, and if it takes me a few hours to write up afterwards, so be it.
    (when you consider the reimbursement is into the hundreds, free tickets, food paid for, accommodation (sometimes) paid for, gifts paid for, mileage and a fee, why shouldn't the company expect detailed reports?)


    Accommodation?! I can’t even get them to pay more towards travel when offering to do a circuit for things that had been on the job board for more than a fortnight, even when the travel would have be less than paying different people the maximum travel for each visit. Have I just been speaking to the wrong person? I did get given some other nice jobs which weren't on the job board which were near to me at the same time though so it wasn't all bad.

    Can anybody who has done the ESA phones let me know whether they are easy or difficult? Sorry to ask but I am on a restricted time scale and I need to know how much time to allow before trying to get any.

    Many thanks
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.
  • Can I just say Hi :D have just recently signed up to a couple of companies and have my first assignment for Retail Eye next week- then found this thread which is excellent:j, so am looking forward to have time to join the remaining links and join in on here- I'm sure I'll be asking for help/info so please be gentle.
    Hoping to get money smart enough to avoid working full time and paying extortionate money to a stranger for the privilege of enjoying my two beautiful children for 40+hrs a week until my son is 3 and my daughter starts school in 2012 :D

    Milk it for all you can - I miss being young enough to do those. The work for TNS is generally where they can make the most money, although the terms of the assignments are not anywhere near as good as they once were.

    depends if its the wave of new posh phone window stuff I did about 4 yesterday, the reports are ok, but you need to pay REALLY close attention to all adverts

    How do Assossia pay? I can't find my login details and can't get onto their website but they keep emailing me jobs, and I did one 3 weeks ago but haven't been paid yet!
    Thanks!
