Good evening. Doing my first jewellery audit for React tomorrow (in a supermarket). How long should I give myself? The notes make it look very complicated :eek:, but I'm hoping it will become obvious when I actually see the stuff in front of me!

Hoping I can squeeze in a coffee job too before I have to pick the little one up from playgroup!

Thanks

I did some over the weekend. Took me less than 15 minutes to do each one. Don't just walk in and then rush out, they may moan at you! But to be honest, it doesn't take that long. It depends how many stands each one has. If it only has 1 or 2, it won't take forever.

*** IF ANYONE HAS MORE THAN ONE JEWELLERY AUDIT IN THE SAME SHOPPING CENTRE, YOU CAN ONLY CLAIM 1 MILEAGE EVEN IF YOU DO THEM ON SEPARATE DAYS. Straight from the horse's mouth so to speak. ***

Also, if anyone has more than 1 jewellery audit in the same shopping centre YOU CAN ONLY CLAIM 1 MILEAGE even if you do it on separate days. Straight from the horse's mouth so to speak.

Cheers for that chuck. Was hoping for half an hour and sounds like that should be ok. The coffee job is at the same retail park and is for react too, so was only going to claim the once anyway!

Only have two child-free mornings a week at mo and seem to spend my time squeezing in as many ms jobs as possible! Roll on January when the free preschool funding kicks in!

Oh don't worry hun. I can remember the first one I ever did. I almost wet myself. The brief is very scary to take in. I've done a few since and it doesn't take that long. I could have done them in 5 minutes and walked out, but that would have looked wrong. Most of the standards are always met unless they are dirty or do not follow the criteria.

Hi all,

I am just working my way through all of the pages and posts, but wanted to ask a quick question.

I signed up to 2 mystery shopping places hmmm a good few months ago, work went manic and the laptop technically was "knackered" and I lost everything - hmmm must remember the phrase backup!

There is a great list of companies on the first page but I wondered are there main ones to sign up with?

Thanks

And with it being an audit, you can take your notes in anyway. They are a lot better than they sound on paper, and the ones I haver done have all been up to scratch.:D

Sign up with as many as you can initially. Its only then will you be able to see the jobs, and their requirements/restrictions. Some you will use more than others. It really depends on how much time you want to spend on MSing, and of course living near a big city/town always helps.:o

Thanks, I've just signed up for as many as I can work through tonight to try and get used to signing in and checking for roles.

At the risk of making my self sound errr older, I did a few MS assignments about 15 years ago, and few online website checking information for a company called Fihos, however their assignments seem to be less and less.

I'm looking forward to finding my way around again.

Just had to release a TNS supermarket and RE shop in the SE as my little DD spent the day throwing up (her brothers birthday down the pan).

Never mind, onwards and upwards...
