Haven't had the said promised email but I have been able to download the instructions!

I can access the instructions now, but am totally confused! Can we basically pick any time we want and do however many screens fit in with the timing?
So for example, if you didn’t go until the last showing & just audited one screen – or is there a minimum number of screens that must be audited?

I’m confused!!

Hi all,
Just registered for a UK Co. with the initials MS & after their training section there is the option to take a test for £10 which results in a certificate if you pass.
Is this worth doing?
Thank you

I signed up for them and then saw that. I'm inclined not to pay anyone £10 to ms, as there are lots of other companies. Be good to hear if they have lots of jobs!

never ever pay!!!!!!

Look at the Instructions which explain it all.
You need to visit every SCREEN, where it's showing not every screening
There's also a phone number manned all weekend to help

I read the instructions, but find them confusing. I realise you don't need to visit every screening, just the screens, but am struggling to figure it out. Guess I'll give them a call.

Anyone else just get the desperate email regarding coffee shops?

It made me chuckle. The slighlty upped reimbursement and the slightly higher mileage isn't enough to make me go to my local. Still no decent fee.

Good luck finding shoppers TNS.

Just like in the real world, you never have to pay to get a job, they pay you for doing a job. Employment agencies don't charge the employees but the employers!

Its always a scam. You must never pay.

When React say this assignment involves an audit of "so and so", does that mean that you are given an authorisation letter or are they done covertly?

Aww, I'm so annoyed! Picked up a clothing store across the road from me earlier - brilliant. Just had an email from RE to say that the client has changed their mind and is cancelling it

I do mine covertly, but you do get a letter of authorisation to anounce you are doing them to the staff member. The jewellery is nothing to do with the store itself, but an outside merchandiser.
