    Try choosing another area outside of your area, I got accepted despite being a MSer.... .But I just put I could do areas that were a bit "out there"


    I hope all you London shoppers are home safe and sound-- Liverpool, mancs, preston all have shops shutting early tonight.

    Hi All,

    I'd like some help. I live in central London, and I've been rejected TWICE by Mystery Dining even though I selected Southwark and Victoria, which are both very near to my home and work place. I explained that I can do good reporting, my day job includes auditing, testing, reporting, measuring standards, etc. What am I doing wrong? Why am I being rejected?:(:mad::(

    I did the same - first application I went on about my mystery shopping experience and filled in the 'recent dining experience' bit as I would for an MS report. I got rejected. Applied again recently, didn't mention mystery shopping and lo and behold I was accepted :)

    "no

    Ive lots count the number im with, never have to many, as you can pick and choose from them all. limit your self and you may only see occasional work"


    Thank!:D
  • Just posted in the TMDC thread about my rejection :( I don't understand what I did wrong, I tried not to sound too much like a 'professional' MS but still demonstrated a good standard of spelling and grammar. I think I will call them tomorrow and ask what exactly they didn't like. I actually live in one of the cities I selected, so location can't be it.

    How long shall I leave it before trying again?

    They do recruiting in certain areas thou... like in Scotland some areas have NO shoppers so they tend to take them from there if that makes sense... but they are LOVELY people and im sure if you give them a call they will help you.
  • Not worthy of an alert but someone has dropped a hotel in the east end of London.

    Perfect for anyone who fancies a bit of rioting on the cheap courtesy of RE!

    They don't take on people who are currently mystery shoppers!!

    Thanks TractorGirl. What about the section of 'how frequently do you visit / attend' is it better to list daily/weekly or less often?

    Thanks Cheekychipmunk. What did you then write in the 'recent dining experience' ?
