    You can expect to earn around the minimum wage. I suspect that girls are actually more likely to earn more than boys!

    Hi,
    I applied for this job and got accepted this week, however when I go into the bulk surveys to look at what work is available, there does not seem to be any! Am I looking in the right place?
    Thank you

    I am not working this week, due to an injury, but I suspect that the surveys were just not available whilst new data was being loaded.

    I would suggest you contact O.C. with any specific problems.

    These phone surveys for O.C. are all done over the internet. There is no paperwork involved.

    Yeah but they do MS assignments too, do you have to keep the paperwork for them?

    This thread is really about Telephone Survey work and not the mystery shopping assignments. I would suggest asking your question on the mystery shopping thread.

    I did get accepted straight away by these guys but couldnt start due to personal reasons.

    I was due to start last month, but when I went onto the website its states I have to reapply:( So I have contacted Optimum as I did receive an email giving me till the end of October to specify whether I wanted to remain with them or not and of course I couldnt reply as I wasnt around.

    So just waiting to hear back really. I tried to reapply online but the link isnt working. any ideas anyone?

    thanks
