    I applied for TNS emails and phone assignments. I understand that we cannot book two phone or two email assignments for the same company and we are only allowed 3 emails and 3 phone calls. I cannot see anywhere a company's name before applying. I picked up twice email assignment for the same company then I had to cancel it. Am I missing something?

    I think they have now resolved this as it now lists the client in the title. I did the same as you initially and double booked the same client and had to cancel one of them. Seem to be flying off the shelves....

    All face 2 face visits in my area are gone. I applied accidentally for a call to a dating agency; that's going to be interesting!:)

    It was video I was doing, car dealerships where even my name was fake. Did 18 jobs in 2 days (most didn't have a test drive). By the end I had no idea who I was or where I was :rotfl:

    I see no more emails.. but the telephone ones look straightforward. No brief though?

    I would pick the cheap supermarket visits when I am out and about in the area anyway. It takes few minutes to do the job and the reports are very easy (no overall description). I won't go out of my way to go somewhere else to complete those visits and the tiny combination of the small fee and reimbursement adds up to my daily income.

    These were audits not the quickie mystery shop, they take a little longer.

    Basic report only is pretty poor, a different matter for video work though.

    Maybe they all went instantly, but I checked after they emailed about these and I can't see anything on my job board :S
