I'll pm you as I don't think we should mention fee levels on here, if you promise to tell me who your kiddies' film people are!!!:rotfl:

2. Claim for one of them, or split it between the two. If one company pays mileage and one doesn't, I claim the mileage from the one that pays and put it as zero for the company that doesn't.

Good luck.

My both assignments are for the same company - it says on both assignments they pay for the mileage but I was thinking whether I should claim both assignments eventhough they are in the same town, same company, same day... Any thoughts?

Thank you!

THe best advice I've ever seen about this was to take a crossword or Suduko with you, so you can scribble in the margins of that, and it looks as if you are just doing the crossword. (You can involve your partner in this if you are doing a visit for 2).

I still get nervous about forgetting things the first time on a new sort of job. And I don't think I've ever done a job where I've remembered every single thing - forgetting to look for recruitment posters in coffee shops is my particular downfall :eek:

Good advice - my assignment though is such that I can't use it. Requires a lot of communicating. But I will keep this in mind for other assignments! Thanks!

If you're ever doing a pub/restaurant job, or job where you could pop to the toilet, you could store the details of any questions you might forget in your phone and check up quickly on anything you're unsure of.

Same as above - good advice and will keep it in mind but in this particular case can't do it...
Thanks though!

I would split it between the two. If it's a company like TNS or NOP where they ask you to fill in a claim form after submitting your results, then just divide the mileage by two and put the amount on each form. So say you travelled 20 miles in total, claim for 10 miles on each. Otherwise claim the full 20 on one, and 0 for the other. I would definitely split it if it's a company (like TNS) who cap mileage.

I've followed the link on page 1 for TNS but I can't see the mystery shopping link anywhere.

I've searched all of the pink areas to no avail, can anyone help please?

Thank you!

And by the way, is the test horrendous?
