    Can anyone give me a heads up (pardon the pun) as to when MCE might be doing haircuts again?

    The wig's in a right mess and I don't want to go paying for a cut if there's jobs coming up soon!

    Is anyone doing any of the Top 50 emails for GFK? Can someone pm me as I cannot pass the quiz for the life of me!

    PS. Another whole batch of noodles have been put on "the company". Not going to re-alert as boyboy did so a few hours ago.

    you obviously didnt try the right companies and briefs then
    I work for regular contracts as well as adhoc briefs, i provide covert and overt audit services, mystery shopping, video and audio services too
    Why would i hand on a plate to some one I dont know contacts that would lead to losing work ? I run a business not a charity. i provide help where i can but equally dont give people the answers they want, they should reasearch them for themselves, as i did.

    i rarely have to answer more than 10 or questions per response unless it is a hotel, airline or similar brief and pay is reflective of this,.

    the reason people dont name them directly is that is is a direct breach of the contract you have with the ms company to do so, so people give alternative names. people in the industry will know but those not will perhaps take a little longer if at all.

    Sorry if it didnt work out for you, but thats good for me, less competition in the industry for work.

    Your work sounds A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

    Ahem.

    Mystery shopping for airlines and hotels!

    WOW!

    After reading your reply - you are correct - why would you hand such a job on a plate to anyone else?

    You keep that plate to yourself, along with the covert and the overt duties you do.

    Infact, it may be best if you STOP posting on MS.

    That way your job will remain a mystery. And you can keep it forever!

    There's a whole list of websites on the mystery shopping thread. Some are low paid ones that I personally don't bother with, others are better paid ones. Personally the only jobs I take these days are hotels, restaurants and a few luxury shops that I like to shop at anyway. Occassionally I will take a bank or a shop if the pay is good enough. I don't get a huge amount of work being this fussy (generally two or three hotels a month and a restaurant or two a week) but if you were open to any shops it would be a lot easier to make reasonable money.

    It's easy to find the high paying or interesting shops on the mystery shopping thread if you follow it. It's also not very difficult to sign up to the company's yourself and do your own research on which shops either pay well or will be enjoyable enough for you to do for reimbursement only.

    not sure why you felt the need to quote this in this thread rather than the other one in which you named clients and fees....
    trying to get me embarrassed or something ?

    as shown above, yes there are other people who do good well paid visits too,
    the fact you never got further than an underground sandwich and gave up is your own choice

    now

    its such a lovely day only one audit this evening to do
    rest of the day being spent with the family and sunbathing
    hope every one else has a nice day too
