MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD XVI - please, no mention of client names or fees on here

Lil_Me_2

Oh gosh, I go out and leave you all unsupervised and all hell breaks loose!

I'm another member of all 3 forums and I think out of all I contribute more on here. I did however go and meet the guys from the office the other weekend and it's not a cliquey as it seems on first glance, they just have a smaller number of regular posters.

It all reminds me of this amazing video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO3tscCAVJ8

I've never been to Cardiff...I originally typed Scun thorpe as one word and it starred the bit in the middle. (Never been there either *sigh*)

I had a stand at a business exhibition there a few years ago. It's not that bad tbh.

History
MSUK started a LOooooooooong while back and it was "Invitation only"

I got in (Cue Groucho Marx quote )

PRO
Has some MS Reps who only post jobs on MSUK so can get some "insider" jobs.

CON
Used to be good info but basically it is a LOT of Old "fish wives" who spend most of the forum in the "lounge" talking about anything BUT Msing
They treat the "Office" and MSE as beneath them

Claim to fame:
I got banned TWICE from posting [Can't think why...]

SO
I stopped posting and just kept up with the "Work available"
They stopped being Invite only and have opened up to anyone :eek:


The Office
Used to be members of MSUK but there was a HUGE Cat fight and they split, forming their own site.
Always open to anyone, but still a LOAD of Fish wives etc...

PRO
Has some good info on Video MSing, though little else new.
CON
Site is VERY unreliable (even worse then RE :eek:)
MSUK :eek:

Some good info and dedicated people on here BUT a lot of "fly by nights" (hence derision from MSUK) who are
1. One Sandwich short of a picnic (Photo but NO receipt)
2 Lazy

PRO
The best bit (as has been said) is the ALERTS thread. always first to get this (days before the other two.)

Bottom Line
Sign up to all three to cover the bases but unless you're into clique Gossip just post here.

AND
If you want to share\or ask a "shortcut\favour\backhander" then ask for PM's Don't post it!

How DO I add clients to Abai ???[/QUOTE]

I must be thick but I just cant do it.I cant make it work.
I gave up ages ago and have written it off as a bad job.

Is it worth joining for the insider jobs? I mean these must be one off kinda things or do they do a As***ia type email but post it?

Oh my god, you mentioned Assosia. :eek:

Do you realise the punishment for mentioning Assosia on a forum?

I got myself a decent job via msuk recently. Think 8x re fee for an hour and halfs work. I loved it. I know react and gap post on the msuk forum regularly so it's good to have the contact there.

Anyone had the job where the scenario is 'I've just come out of prison...'
Can't imagine why they are struggling getting that one filled

They usually manage to fill these assignments with mystery shoppers who have mentioned Assosia on a public forum ......

I was offered the office just down the road from me, was 2 seconds from accepting it when I saw that scenario. :eek: Can you imagine if the neighbours saw me. :rotfl: Ah well would have given me a little tale to tell but decided it wasn't worth the awkward moment.
