    I think I must be in the wrong area! The only thing GFK has had since Christmas is car visits, High up TV and food audits. None of which interest me. They're normally my main stay, but gone are the banks and delivery providers it seems. There's been nothing to replace them round here.

    Similar in this area - all there is car audits at the moment. PIP have a load of reveal yourself car audits as well which are just sitting there. Alright round here if you like cars..

    I wouldn't be discussing where you hide your camera on an open forum...

    Just because I'm wearing my bike jacket doesn't mean I'm video shopping, and just because I'm video shopping doesn't mean I'm wearing my bike jacket. I still use the same predictable methods everyone else does sometimes.

    The only thing wearing my bike jacket means is I'm on my bike, or it's that icey out I know I'm going to fall over so I want some armour when I land.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
  • I haven't been on this website for a very long time. Lots of new names. Since I've last been on (about 2 years ago) there has hardly been any woek about. gfK use to be a big earner for me, at least £100 every two weeks, now I'm lucky if I get one job a month. All the other companies I use to work for have really slowed down too. Is it just me?

    Contracts come and go to different agencies (even if the same people end up doing the jobs half the time :)). Have a look over the last few pages and it'll tll you the agencies that are putting a lot of work out.

    Strange that you say GFK haven't got anything on for you, they've almost always got a few jobs available when I look. Have you tried putting an additional postcode or two into your details?

    Either they're loading them an area at a time or I don't meet the profile because I've not seen any either.
