    There were only 2 shops around here and I never heard back from my e-mail application.

    Does anyone know how long a gap there is before you can revisit a Esa frozen store? I last did the local ones, three months ago and not allowed to book them at the moment.:(
  • Same here; I cannot find that info anywhere in the briefing notes. Let's hope it is only 4 months which is still not bad comparing to some assignments on Maxim ( 1 year!).

    This is the second month where there have been no gyp burger jobs within about 30 miles of where I live. I can see one special project and pizza jobs but no standard burgers. They must have been allocated on mass to another shopper.

    I did a round of ESA frozen jobs in September and then again in Jan, so it looks like it is every 4 months.

    You must be surrounded by fast food devotees Cybi Ping :-)


    I've just had them on the phone needing several burger and chicken jobs. I've taken a couple to show willing but still plenty on the board.

    Hi there i am Dave the Video Manager for Retail Maxim
    We are currently looking to build up our video mystery shoppers database all around the country for future work.

    Should you be interested could you please send a trial sample to me at:

    FAO Video Manager
    Retail Maxim
    2 Newlands Court
    Burntwood Business Park
    Burntwood
    Staffs
    WS7 3GF

    Key points I will be looking for include:
    Window Displays (showing promotional materials and conditions)
    Camera Movement (Flow smoothly and precise)
    Store Standards (View of general conditions)
    Ceiling Shots (Angle of camera to be aware at all times)
    Enquirey (The enquirey should promote some sort of questioning and not yes/no
    answers)
    Assistants Face (in frame during interaction)
    Audio of assistants speech (Audio of assistant/s should be clear)
    Voice Over (stating Shop, Location, Time and Date)
    email: dave.duff@retail-maxim.co.uk should you need any further information.

    Regards Dave
    original thread will no doubt be deleted

    Hundreds of Banks on Bare. All over the country.

    I was looking earlier and they weren't showing on the interactive map but the classic job board had loads on. The addresses looked messed up though.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
