    Oh yeah, RE called today, regarding the 45 minute assignment. ;) I noticed when I was doing the report that the online questionnaire was slightly different to the one I printed out. Consequently, people haven't been able to answer all the questions - the person I spoke to said they're having to ring loads of people up.

    So I don't know if they've rectified the mistake, but if they haven't, a tip for those of you doing the job soon: check the store directly opposite, even if you're not asked to in your notes - it'll get you brownie points with RE ;)

    I had a phone call from RE and was really worried I had done something wrong!!!

  • I am registered with Grassroots and TNS - how long before they contact you if there's a problem? Just wondered if say a few days goes by can you safely assume all is ok?

    I'm not sure, I've only been doing this a couple of months myself. :o But I'm assuming that companies would contact you within a few days if there was anything drastically wrong. :confused:

    I once had RE phone me about a week later, but it wasn't a problem, just a question they needed to clarify.

    Also, someone here told me that GAP contacted them within 24 hours when there was a problem.

    Perhaps the people on this thread who work for MS companies could tell us more? :)
  • Hurray! I finally managed to book a couple in my area today - my first assignments as a MS!

    Thanks to all of you who have given advice in this thread.
  • I did my first one tonight, it was fun!
    got another one tomorrow too, am looking forward to it!

    Hi there,
    I have completed my first ms with Retail Eyes waheeyyy!! but since I booked that last Tues there has been absolutely nothing else to book in my area - I keep checking but still nothing - how often is it updated - is it just as and when??.
    Also I applied to Grass Roots and haven't heard anything back - it was just a few days ago so am probably expecting to much for them to have replied already??
    I am itching to do some more ms's lol!!
    Thanks x

    Hi MABLE.
    I applied to Retail Eyes on Friday and had an email yesterday morning (Monday) so it was pretty quick.

    Thanks for reply but to date I have still not heard anything. A bit disappointed as I felt I did a good summary.
