What exit interviews are they looking to get done? I remember seeing a job back in 09 when they were offering just over a ton to get 50 interviews.

Mmm...
Mystery shopping company emails me the day before "reminding" me that I have the job the next day.
I get an email the morning of the job saying how important iut is I do this today as it is the last day for this round.
I submit the job just after mid day.
It is now 28 hours later and the job still hasn't been proof read...

Yup, and as you are over 16 and working you'll be liable for tax too, you may not have to pay anything depending on your circumstances but best seek advice.

Questionnaires outside a gym. 35 to be done in total and the money they offered included a reimbursement for the all the questionnaires which you had to print out beforehand! They were offering half of what you mentioned for what would be potentially a full day standing in the rain annoying people as they leave the gym. You would also have to compile the results and submit them.

I'm amazed that the camera shop hasn't twigged I'm an MSer yet - I swear I'm in there every other week and it's a tiny shop! There are currently three agencies offering me different assignments there next week!

I wont take my local camera shop each round, it's a small shop and the service is always pretty rubbish. I honestly don't know why that client bothers because they don't seem to improve anything!


pm1234, you'll need to register as self employed within 3 months, but you are entitled to your tax allowance plus expenses so you may well end up not having to pay tax anyway. You are at the age to do age verification shops if over 18. MF & TNS do them and others MSC do as well I'm sure.

Evening.

I did a shopping centre for AA and I had to upload a screenshot from twitter and from facebook. they have sent my report back to me stating that their is something wrong with the twitter and facebook screenshots and when I look at my report that they have put back in my account, these are not mine. When I look at the version that I sent to them and downloaded a PDF version, I uploaded the right screen shots and begrudge being told that I made a mistake when uploading screenshots. Therefore does the person whose screenshots I now have in my report, have my screenshots in their report. GRRRR!
