    Doing a wardrobe update, any male video shoppers found any good new clothing for concealing the lens, other than the usual?
  • Anyone know if these permanent London positions with GFK are full time/partime? Was thinking of applying.
  • I am not happy, I did 2 phone jobs yesterday and got an email saying I did them early please let them know why etc. BUT I didn't do them early - I did them on the date I was given and when I filled the form in last night it said the correct date. I also always check the dates on the day I do them just to be sure - and they both said the 5th now they say the 12th.

    They did email me to change 4 other shops to the 11th which I changed but they left these two alone.

    I checked today and the dates have been changed to next week - makes it look like it was my mistake when it wasn't.

    Everyone beware in case they pull this trick on you.

    I had the same problem, I did two yesterday as per shopper log and when I came to fill in the report, found the dates had moved to next week. Not impressed at all as I was not advised of the changes and the log clearly had the agreed dates in there. I will not be bothering again.:mad:.

    It could be you don't fit the profile the client wants - give then a call though and see if they have anything to allocate

    Hear a little whisper that they may have picked up a client from TNS who only use young people.

    She has been pretty good when ever I've needed something.

    My son does these for TNS and they struggle every month to cover them. If they have picked up the client by reducing the rate further than current they will really struggle. My son won't do them currently unless he can get a circuit of at least 15 along with a premium.
