    GAP have lots of new assignments available.

    Hi, I have posted here before and I have had my post removed for linking to my forum, so I will not put it on but I will respond to pm's (Link also in my profile)

    I was just curious if there is any sites out there (Like mine) that notifys people that jobs are available on GAPbuster or any other companies, I obviously dont live at my PC and with 2 kids, I can not afford to, but it is nice to have an email when jobs are available.

    I missed a load of jobs and I get really annoyed at the way GAP operate with there secrecy and silly limits (5 assignments a day etc...) as I am self employed and my sole income is from Mystery shopping (Topped up with Tax Credits)

    Personally I would tell GAP to shove it but I cant afford to :-D

    Any tips/advice?

    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    ::MODS/GUIDES:: Please contact me to let me know if I can post the forums address on the site, I do not make anything from running the site and it would be nice to have a few more members, I will also award the first poster of new available work with a £5 top up.

    There is no benefit to myself apart from knowledge of when the work is available on the site and I will also email everyone else registered on the site and that is the only purpose of the site (No Spam etc...)

    Thanks

    Kev

    There are forums out there that post work available when it is released. The one I use also has a number of company representatives on it that post work available too. You can subscribe to the work available forum, and get an e-mail every time something new is posted.

    However, we're not allowed to post any links to forums in this thread, even if you don't make any money from the referral.
    Here I go again on my own....

    I have just been accepted with BARE associates on https://www.baidata.com but I can't find any UK jobs at all. They sent me an email telling me there were some and that there were some near York which is close to me, but I just can't find any.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    It took me about 5 days to hear from TNS.

    No, Bai don't have any jobs at the moment. This is not typical - there are usually plenty! However, you can relax as Bai are the only company that email you reliably when they post the jobs, and before they are all snapped up! :p

    I've just received my first assignment from Grass Roots, and I've got to turn it down as I have a product with one of the companies concerned! Totally gutted, as I thought I was going to have a few extra quid :(

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice.

    I have been Mystery shopping since Feb 2007. I have yet to inform Inland Revenue of this because I don't what to tell them when they ask what the nature of my job is. Do I tell them that I am a Mystery shopper?. Can someone recommend a job title.


    Thanks.

    Yes - just tell them the truth. They'll have heard of mystery shoppers before!
