    Is it just in my area, but there seems to be a distinct lack of work for October unless you fancy eating chicken, pizza or burgers, or going to a betting shop!!! :rolleyes:


    I haven't seen a pizza place close enough to home for a while either but could go for burgers almost every day - if only I wanted to. :rotfl:
  • I signed up with all the MS companies at the beginning of the year and have relied mainly on being offered work. However, I received an urgent request to do some visits from a company I couldn't remember. They had all my details so I had clearly contacted them, and the assignments seemed legit, so I am keen to do more work for them. However, their website is just blank after I log in, so I am wondering how on earth they usually allocate work. They are called React Surveys, and if anyone here can enlighten me as to how they operate I would be grateful.
    But there are dreams that cannot be,and there are storms we cannot weather!

    React Surveys is a very good company with very nice staff. They allocate their jobs on the phone or by email and reports are done by email (word documents).

  • Thanks Wensie. Do I take it that there is no self allocation at all with this company? If I only get offered jobs once a year it's a bit disappointing as they were nice jobs with a fair fee plus expenses. Any tips for getting more work through them?

    I notice that they are not mentioned with all the MS companies on the first post. Does a secondary list exist anywhere on the forums as I would like to make sure I am signed up to all of them - I seem to remember there is one that does dining, and I don't mean the Gap type jobs (!) but I can't find it anywhere.

    I know someone on here will have the answer for me! Thanks!

    There were a load last weekend. Can't remember them all but there was a restaurant one at the O2 Arena which i really wanted to do but couldn't make the dates, and several similar ones over the city.

    Having said I've been with them since June and only done one assignment for them because nothing else has come up that I fancy doing. All there is in my area at the moment are chemist jobs that you need a prescription for

    I did pick up a couple of DIY store ones from GrassRoots yesterday though :)
