It's easy if you can string a few coherent words together.

:rotfl:

And read a brief...

And understand what the alert thread is for.

Gah, enough with the conversation on the alerts thread!

Anyway, a bit of advice from anyone who's done them; what do you usually say when the SA phones you the day after a travel agent visit, which I'm sure this one will. Are you just blunt? Or do you ignore the call?

I get the feeling this one will call and call and call... I'm seriously considering getting a free sim with a fiver of credit in an old handset to give out as my number when MSing, then I can pick up messages for jobs that require me to record if I was called back but ignore everything else.

Is that a bit OTT?

If it's the one I did they only ring once, I just let my answerphone get it as they only wanted to know if you received a call back within 72 hours. That was with ESA and a travel agent that also has funeral homes, food shops and is good with food

The annoying ones are the conservatory mystery shops, one of the company SAs came around to my house three times trying to twist my arm to buy a £46k conservatory.

I would have been blunt with him but the poor guy was 76 years old! The company name, well, let's just say he does need a long rest!

1 - Read the first page of this thread for Mystery Shopping Companies
2 - Apply to some of them (which ones is up to you, or just pick the ones that people speak about the most - in a positive light)
3 - Wait for them to accept/reject you
4 - Wait to be assigned jobs/ log in and check the site regularly for jobs (depends on the company - some assign you jobs, some you have to apply for yourself)
5 - Check the alerts thread frequently to see the newest available jobs

Good luck!

Not OTT at all, i have one that I switch on to check for messages then turn it off again.

So Catalyst aren't paying by Paypal this month.....

The cheque is in the post - will it be cleared on first presentation?

Don't think I will be rushing to do anything else for them.
