Has anyone done a pharmacy audit for GfK? I haven't done one before (which is a requirement - need audit experience) but there's one quite local to me so I'm considering emailing GfK to offer my services. Just wondering what I'd be letting myself in for. It looks straightforward from the briefing notes but would be interested to hear from anyone who's done one.

They aren't too bad, presuming they haven't changed since I last did them - it's a case of ticking lots of products off a sheet, and asking about ones you can't see. Repetitive, but luckily their report form has everything ticked by default, and you just have to untick the ones you couldn't find

Have been on the other end of these ones - I wouldn't be allowed to do them as I work for the pharmacy.
Have chatted to the person who does our local ones about them as she knows I work for GfK too and do audits for other companies so we had a right little natter about them a few times!! They look simple enough, and if you can't find something you can always ask a member of staff where it should be (although try and avoid doing this, but our lady has to occasionally, particularly if things have just recently had a shuffle around or are in a bit of a random place!)

Go for it. You have to start somewhere to get experience in the first place so this might be a good opportunity for you!

Haven't a clue, if I find out I will let you know

Plus did anyone else see a new supermarket on grass roots earlier? Don't know how to describe it without giving it away! the other big one maybe?:rotfl:

Thank you!! I've emailed them and will see what they say. I've done some urgent bank jobs for them recently so they know I'm reliable.

Are the audits on the GFK payroll or the self-employed site? I am at present on the self-employed and you can only join one of them?

The one I did a while back was self-employed, unless it's changed...

What on earth is the difference between these questions. Did your food look and taste appetising and fresh? Yes/No? Answering No makes you leave a comment. Then the next Q Please state why you did not think it was appetising and fresh, if applicable: and another comment field to fill in. If I answer it it makes me leave a comment too. Isn't the comment exactly that of the previous question?

Beats me. I find a lot of the questions to be repetitive.

In the case you quote, I usually give a quick summary in the first comment field, and then my detailed answer in the second comment.

Thanks, but none in my area unfortunately.
