I actually got a react coffee. One out of 5 I applied for. This is progress!

I get about 8/10 react jobs I apply for. My scoring is always either 9 or 10 out of 10. Probably not many react shoppers in my area. Perhaps too much competition your way. I think the shoppers are dropping off in my area as even Retail Maxim have been calling me!

I don't like the new React allocator. That's 10 bloody jobs she has assigned to someone else. What am I supposed to do? Get a 15 out of 10? Not impressed! Managed to do a Sugababe today and the visit was oh so simple as was the report. The charm bracelet was easy peasy too and I am sure they have made the report simpler too. Finished off with a 10 minute phone shop for GFK. Result. Now I have 0 visits to do. Woohoo! What's with these GR visits people are mentioning? Do you only see supermarkets and phone shops when you are new? That's all I ever get!

The only GR I get are phones and computer shops, but I'm in Scotland where there is little outside Glasgow and Edinburgh (sigh)

Oh right. I think the clothes shops are for women only, so I would not get any. Good luck to you duck.

Mystery shopping some old ruins today, in torrential rain-last day it could be done etc.
The guide said to me "Hope you don't mind me asking, but why on earth are you walking around *** in the freezing cold and pouring rain- we don't even have a tea shop you know??"
Totally flummoxed I said I fancied a day out and just loved old buildings- the look she gave me said it all really- sure she thought I was barking mad as I squelched off...

Hmm glad its not just me with react then! I apply for lots and have still to be given even one.........

GR I tend to find goes in cycles, it has a burst of activity then goes quiet and then back they come. In this part of the world its about every two weeks, although I noticed they had new clients today (missed them as I was out doing jobs for them)

gfk tends to be the quiet one around me, it has a couple of regulars but the only time I see proper continous jobs is when the summer call centre campaign comes up.

Did pick up another jewellery shop today though so am pleased

I'm still here though I haven't done much MSing for the past month. Still can't get a GR job, must not have the postcodes right yet as I hardly see any

No, not just you, think I applied for 12 coffee & jewellery and got NONE! :mad: Overall score of 9, last shop was 10. I give up!

Another Bare jewellery? Have they increased to more than 2? :j

Think I got lucky with react: the first coffee I ever applied for was hidden in the wrong county, so no-one else must have applied. Then did a last-minute dropped one after being called up. Got good scores and now get all the coffees I apply for

On the flipside, I've never had any luck getting the attractions

Did you get the bookshop coffee in "A"?

Never many GR jobs in our area. I've even got the TC as one of my postcodes but still get nothing.

Lucky you. I got a 10 for my handbag one and a 10 for the super duper posh menswear. I applied for a total of 12 jewellery, outdoor shops and coffees, and I got sweet **** all. Hmmm indeed.
