They hung around for me - I still had the pick of what was there :T

I still can't fathom GR's alert system. Sometimes they email on the hour (just so that I can check and see what I have missed over the preceding 60 minutes, I presume). On other occasions, they email at random times. The timing of the alert emails does not seem to be client-specific (or even have any relation to urgency).

I avoide doing the grassroots supermarket as i find the breif far to much for the payment. Although they have listed a supermarket which just sells 'home' items.

Where it states 'assignment involves' info half of this isn't applicable. Has anybody done one of these? do you just ignore the sections you cannot do? and do you still have to do all 7 enquiries?

(cannot see the full notes so struggling to decide whether or not to do it)

GR jobs are usually worth the effort - clear briefs, easy reports and no niggling queries.

I can't comment on the "home" stuff only supermarket jobs because there are none of those in my area. I presume that the questionnaire will allow you to select "N/A" - but, I can't say for certain until I can see the questionnaire! Even with the full quota of enquiries, I still feel that these assignments are pretty much OK.

You need to move into the Traf centre but honestly you'd be lucky if they post 2 jobs a month round here. I sometimes manage to get one job every six weeks or so.

I've just done my CNS photos for the company that can not be named and I had to take more os pos pics than ever before. 27 in one shop and 31 in the other. Different chains. Maybe there is a national crisp and nut shortage? Probably due to the drought!

Yes same here I had double the amount of pics in one of my stores! Only done one chain so far so thought it was their supply problem but obviously not. Doing covert ones later so hope they aren't so bad!

Just checked my history with GR and I've done 10 this year. Managed to bag another one in my home town whilst checking. The other one was snaffled from right under my nose!:mad:

I'm going full time at work soon, so there may be a few more for you ladies to choose from LOL

I have an upcoming visit to a castle, I can't wait!

A nice fee which compensates for the stress I had today with receipt problems.
