I would want more money for that scenario, if we are fibbing to pharmacists it should be better paid really.
I don't mind tiny fees to buy myself a sandwich, but this is different.

Have you done the scenario? They're really very simple. And to be honest, lying to people pretty much sums up all MSing jobs! I don't see the difference in this situation.

I'm also agreeing on the Helion issue with hotels. I don't mind spending 5 mins doing a test report, but I'm not going to say where and the companies I've done work for and copy a section.

I haven't got any of my hotel reports saved - I don't keep copies of reports unless they are fill in and email.

I've read it, and I agree it is simple. You are right it's not logical, because we do mislead people a lot, I just feel really bad about it when it's a medical type person. I'm probably just strange!

In most places you won't speak to the pharmacist, you'll speak to the sales people, they might refer to the pharmacist but not in most cases. Also, they literally only take 5 mins of their time max and the reports are simple. If I could do them at the weekend I would take loads.

Fair enough:D, I think we've all probably got assignments that we feel less comfortable with/about than others for assorted reasons.

Works for me in Firefox, but I've got an issue with it......

They ask for amongst other things, what brands you've shopped for, what mystery shopping companies you've shopped for and a copy of the narative of your last report.

Max, the above is a complete breach of mystery shopping companies confidentiality clauses or what?

I'd say it would breach your T&C's if provided to a 3rd party:

"1. All information related to an assignment by Helion or obtained following participation to one of Helion's surveys is strictly confidential. Therefore, the evaluators agrees that, under no circumstances and unless specific instructions from Helion, he will reveal himself as an evaluator or disclose any information relating to assignments to a third party."

I am a third party and I now know you are an evaluator for Helion. T&C's Breached? debate.

Are the other companies reports similar to the other company that does this?
Cheers.

One company uses excel spreadsheets to report the results, the other uses their online submissions. The data collected is basically the same, but one company requires more than the other. There is also a difference in the fees (but I can't tell you which one is which.......:D). I have a favourite, but again I can't disclose this;)
