    I have noticed some video visits with Tern and I just wondered if anyone knew what I would have to do?

    You would need to buy a video kit for £500+ and then PM Jen Br for more details. She's the expert on video visits on this forum.

    Lol, I think what I'm looking for may not exist, google doesn't have enough vias ;)

    Ideally a nice program that I can enter in 26 postcodes plus time frames that I have to be at each one and then it tells me where to go and when. Wishful thinking I think. Off to dig out the big map....

    I had an email inviting me to drive an 8 hour round trip for a 2 hour assessment, followed by a second 8 hour round trip for 4 more hours training if I pass the first lot.... Even by RE standards, that seems an inefficient way to do things. For my other mystery shopping proofreading job, all the assessments and training were done online.

    Sounds like I had a lucky escape then!! Am finding it harder to get enough ms work these days but I'll just have to keep trying. Thanks for the reply :)

    Dawn, Video visits are where you wear a covert camera and go into places recording said job. The fee is higher (im guessing thats why your asking?) but the equipment is expensive. There are a few companies that offer you equipment but it will be a postcode lottery... if they need shoppers and you live in the right area. I know RE was looking to get into video as well!

    HTH.

    I'm desperate to go to London tomorrow, but I have so much work on that I'd be stupid to go :(

    Is it me being thick, or is anyone else struggling to pass the test for the craft shops on re ?

    I submitted the questions, but someone else must have taken the job seconds before me.

    I was going to buy glitter and stuff for my daughter as she loves glueing and sticking things, so I'm a bit gutted someone was quicker!
    Here I go again on my own....
