They did have one not too long ago, and it was for 2 people! Get a load of that if you will. Never seen them again mind, so not sure what happened there.

See I was right, they didn't hold onto them

How come the GFK phone calls have dropped fees? I did get a call to do some, but I said no thanks.

Look at the dates, new wave.

PS. If RM don't call you, why don't you call them? I'm on 1 visit a week from them at the moment but I do tend to pester them a bit.

You know I think I just might.

Just reread the brief for ims sister, 7 hours at that rate? No likey!

glad im not the only one who thought so, thought i was rating myself too highly when i saw people were taking them
i appreciate people have different working rates, but i set myself higher than most, only i suppose to stop me taking rubbish jobs and supporting an industry trend that tries to lower prices,
only by turning down jobs will we see a rise.

That said, I do pro actively email back companies who have low rate jobs in my area and tell them my minimum fee to do to. Most get cover at the original rate, but quite a few have taken me up so I cant complain too much

Oh and if anyone is passing a Sainsburys today or tomorrow, have a look for the 80% off bargains. I managed to get a good few selection boxes of Cadbury products reduced to 10p and still in date until late 2012. All the staff were filling their trolleys! Had a lot of things down to between 10p and £1.

And Superdrug are getting rid of Xmas items and I saw quite a lot of things at 10p in their blue cross sale including hand creams, face creams and little gift set things.

I think I might start doing that, it sounds like the sort of thing that might start getting fees moving back in the right direction.

I remember them on Bare, obviously someone else has them now.
I wouldn't approach the company directly and ask to be put on the panel- and I respect that the company in question don't want panel members discussing the jobs, but I wonder if anyone can tell me who I should potentially take more lower paying, less complex work off, in order to gain a reputation with said company, and build up a relationship with them.....

Oh go on then, I'll tell you but only this once! It's RE :D;)

Oh yea, what, do they pay you £3 toward the cost of a £200 flight, and ask you 100 times how the flight made you feel as a customer?!! And what airline I would use if I wasn't using this one?!! :mad: :rotfl::rotfl:

The 'Fleece Jobs', I'm right in thinking that the date entry form to email back is just meant to be named with our name? Or should it have anything else as well, such as the project initials name?

Has anyone had a problem before where the RE telephone recording system does not accept the Job number stated in the details. I can't proceed with tonights assignment now, and they have all gone home at RE.

Never had a problem with them


On another note- what are peoples opinions of 'Mystery Shoppers' as a company. They aren't on the front page, (unless I'm being blind)!
I have been signed up to them for a while but never really looked at their website. At the moment there's nothing available to me. Do people get work off them? And also, whats with the £10 fee for the certification test. Is it legit/worth it?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

NEVER pay a fee....maybe the fact that they are not on the first pages of the thread and that nobody ever mentions them tells you something
