    Just doing a little email enquiry do-dah on GfK and getting a tad confused, which is easily done :)
    It's a savings place to ask for a form, so the subject part is fine, but I'm not sure what to put for which product my enquiry is about (on the drop down menu on the enquiry contact us form on the companies website) as the form I need could, as far as I know, relate to various different types of account.
    Hope this makes sense without getting to specific on here :)

    I'm mainly wondering whether it says somewhere in the notes which options I'm meant to select. I have checked and re-read a few times but just checking in case it's one of those things where I've looked at it too much so don't see the wood for the trees type things!
    Hopefully someone else will have the same scenario and know what I'm on about.. :D

    I am SO annoyed with myself. I've just started mystery shopping and have been shocked how much work is available in my local area. However, I'm a member of 2 organisations and have just realised I've double booked myself!? There's really no way I can do both the jobs after I get out of my day job before they both close. It's one or the other. Obviously they don't want people signing up then cancelling but will it have a major impact on the available work if I release a job? I presume sooner is better than later...

    Are you able to reschedule either of them rather than cancelling? Which MS companies are they with?

    I haven't done that assignment but the cover sheet should tell you what navigation route to take on the site. If there is not a specific option I'd just pick the closest one. That's what I did last email job I did with GFK.

    One is with marketforce and the other is with gfk.

    My panic is over though, I have managed to move one to the next morning. Thanks :p I've been writing everything in my diary to keep good track but one of these was one of the first jobs I scheduled and I hadn't worked out that it pays to be organised clearly....

    Yes, it was on the cover sheet. Must have totally missed it the first time, then was just reading and re-reading the briefing notes, which is silly because thinking about it now, I know it would be on the coversheet not the brief as the brief is more generic for everyone rather than the coversheet which has the specific details for each individual job.
    Shouldn't try and rush these things so I can get to bed. Luckily it's meant to be this time of day that it's sent :)

    Just had a look at the scenario... Is it just me that thinks this could be one of the most long winded drawn out MS's?

    Think I'll wait for the burger premiums!

    I'm really happy with my Kodak c310 inkjet. I bought it about 3 months ago after I got frustrated with the ink costs of my HP. The ink is much cheaper, and the scanner software is sooo much better. Plus I love that it's wireless.
