    I've just realised what jobs you're on about. Have to admit, I've done almost 20 of these and, considering they pay more than the majority of MF assignments, they're well worth it. Shame, the tests are ridiculously and unnecessarily difficult.

    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    I had to chin off some of their phone call assignments. It was to an 0845 number for a firm that I know take ages to answer. If I followed their brief, and called back as many times as required, I worked it out for an hours work I would make 45p :eek:

    Calls via the GfK call recording client should only cost the same as a call to a geographical number (ie. in most cases included in your call package) regardless of whether the ultimate destination is an 0845/0870/0906 number or whatever. They handle the onward call cost.
