    Anyone able to give a clue via PM if you want to the ESA work? Is it paid relatively ok?

    No info re fees that I can see just a pretty full on test! :o Maybe they are doing it by regions, I know me and Jen are up north lol

    I'm further south (north of London, though).

    It occurs to me that maybe they need new auditors because they have pruned their audit fees and their existing assessors won't touch the assignments with a bargepole .... ;)

    I got an email from ESA. A test audit assignment was allocated to me with instructions to decline it if I am not interested in this type of work.

    I got it too. Anyone know how much they pay? If so PM me and let me know. I know how much I think they should be paying as I do lots of similar work but what worries me is the email possibly should have said:

    Dear Shopper,

    We have also begun paying in peanuts for our extensive audit work. Our clients are unhappy as they are not getting the data they need. Our existing auditors have told us where to stick our audits therefore we are looking to expand the team in the hope that you may be stupid enough to complete them.

    Please note as a special thank you for your assistance we will allocate ten egg shops to your account upon completion of each audit.

    My hubby got this pricing audit allocated to him, when he signed up he must have accidently ticked the experienced in this field!! I had a look at the spreadsheet and it's quite time consuming to do 38 product pricings for nothing. He might do it if it means that he'll get regular well paid work, so if anyone knows how much work will come of it could you let me know - ta!
  • Just got an email from the company that cannot be named looking for mums with small children who have been bought ready meals. Couple of questions to complete, but it might be invite only (not sure who thought I was young enough to be a mum with small children though :)
  • Not worthy of an alert as it seems to be a daily occurrence but there's more dropped eggs on ESA :rotfl:

    Still showing as the 26th for me but people are saying that the eggs are weekdays now? Maybe they're hoping someone will pick them up tonight round here and then they'll become available tomorrow?

    If you think that 38 items is time consuming I would steer clear. Based on experience with several other companies the fee for that many items would be about half a gapburger fee...
