Thank you. Do you have to search for assignments separately with each client, or is there a hidden short cut?!

Anyone care to answer the infamous Abai query?

Read through the first couple of pages on this thread and you will find a detailed answer on how to get more clients.

Sorry I didn't explain that very well!
I've read that and added a few more clients, although not 11, I couldn't only find 6.

I was just checking about finding assignments, it seems like the only way is to check each client one at a time.

Sadly not, you have to do each one separately.

I haven't seen the email yet, but from the gist I get from here is that someone (an MS'er) has told the client that they are bring MS'd - is that correct? TNS have then "pulled the plug" on any more visits?

I don't think TNS has pulled the plug. I think the client has withdrawn the contract because of a serious breach of terms and conditions.

For those of you who havent seen the email, I have pasted it below. From what I understood of it, a shopper has discussed the assignment in detail with a member of the client's staff.

I would imagine that there are some peeps at TNS that are really not happy at the moment. I saw the jobs in question and the fee was good.

That little extra 9pm showing has thrown me as that would suggest that there are actually 4 3D reels. 20 minutes later seems a little too long for it to be a joint showing across 2 screens.

My suggestions would either be to ring the company, they're honestly very helpful and they're in the office from 11 today I believe. Or once you get to the cinema you can ask the manager how many reels they have, and they should be able to tell you which one is being shown where.

I never saw those ones on TNS but I can't believe someone would be so silly as to discuss it unless they got something out of it?
