    TNS and GFK sharing clients?

    Doesnt seem to target the TNS phone specifically so I don't think so.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

  • Hi, I've been reading this board for a while and thought I'd say hello. I've been MS-ing for a few years now but only a couple of companies. I'm now trying to branch out and have applied for my first R*act job (sorry, not sure which companies we are and aren't allowed to name!). It's a fast food job. Any idea how long I'll have to wait to hear from them? Will they email me?
    Is it worth applying for other locations too (which I could do but are less convenient) or wait to hear about my first choice first?

    Thanks!
  • Came home from a great day MSing today and found a wasp and large spider in the house (not playing together obviously!!) Im NO LONGER looking forward to summer!! Hope everyones day has ended better than mine!! :)

    They were going to merge at one point, but it never happened. Having said that TNS have done good, they have picked up some more client, i.e. phones, trains, train stations etc.

    I only ever get haircuts on MCE which are great but in the few years I've been with them I've never seen another job come up.

    Do I need to do something to get other jobs to come up or is it just the area I'm in?

    Hi Guys

    Hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread ?

    I've done some mystery shopping in the past - only for 1 company, and I want to try and get back into it to make some extra cash.

    I know you can't name the companies on here, but if anyone has any referrals, or there is a list of any mystery shopping companies anywhere on here that I would be able to use to get started again ?

    Thanks in Advance

    Gill xx
