Mystery Shopping Thread 25 *PLEASE READ THE OP FIRST**PLEASE NO CLIENT NAMES OR FEES

Nobbynobbs

Afternoon, don't post on this thread very often but I do know that Benita at MF is a lot of you guys favourite allocator and thought you might like to know. I have just heard through the grapevine that she has been relieved of her duties in a rather underhanded manner by MF. Its a shame as she was very much a "common sense" allocator,


Gonna miss her

Did I blink and miss them or have GAP not yet released any January burger jobs?

There was a release for early Jan dates, did one this week.

Oh how strange, I can only see pizza jobs near me, its the first time there haven't been at least a few on the board. I don't think I've been blocked by the client because I can see the burgers down south. I guess another local shopper REALLY likes burgers.

There are still loads around where I live. Took a call from them today and picked up six visits. What with RM and a few of the TNS complaint jobs, I've picked up a fair bit of work today

Those TNS complaint jobs disappeared like hot cakes. I kept getting error codes on the screen so guess every man and his dog was applying. All thats left now is the phone shops:mad:

Tell me about it. I received that error code but, after logging out then logging back in, managed to lose the error code. Thing is, every job I clicked on had been taken. Only managed to get two telephone call jobs, thought I'd managed a letter job but it's not showing in my log

Twice in the last 24 hours received emails notifying me of different types of TNS train jobs, only to be told when I reply that I was sent the email in error. What are they playing at? Are these jobs offered on some sort of 'loyalty' basis? And if so, are the 50-odd PITA phone jobs I've now done not considered loyalty enough?

Yes, those who have worked on this project before get priority.

No. See above.

Some of these will filter down but the first wave is usually panel members only. The few complaints jobs open to all went live yesterday and got snapped up quickly.

This is the way most companies work, there will be dozens of projects that are never posted on the job boards but TNS have a nasty habit of sending assignment emails to the wrong people.
