Hello, I am trying to join Bare International but it looks as if I have to be referred. Is this so, or is there a web site I have not yet located. Any help gratefully received thanks.

Has anyone done any of the supermarket wave on TNS? I accepted a couple on the original questionnaire, which has been updated today, They looked OK to start with but are now a right faff. Will be doing the ones I have accepted as don‘t like to cancel but will not be doing any more without a hefty premium!

The refurb audits?
Not seen the new brief you speak of but I did one last week that had a totally different brief from the others I've done, wasn't that bad to be honest.

No, lower fee and reimbursement than the refurb ones. Started yesterday and the questionnaire doubled in size yesterday!

I seem to be having problems with "Job Search" on any agency that uses a Sassie System.

Regardless of whther I search in my home address or any random postcodes, the Sassie system is unable to find the location (or any jobs!).

I just wondered whether this is a generic fault with Sassie, and whether anyone elsae is having the same difficulty?

Can anyone advise me as to the top 3 best Mystery Shopping companies to work for?
If it helps I live in Cambridge.
I got rejected for TNS and because I didnt pass the test
I have been working for a Merchandising Company but only get £6.50 an hour for to be honest a lot of hard work plus a further hour inputting downloading and uploading pictures.
I know Mystery Shopping is not well paid but I think I could get the equivalent of £6.50 an hour without so much stress (£3.25 after all the uploading,downloading and inputting!!)
Many thanks
Tanya

It all depends on what type of work you are looking for, there are a few companies that offer good working from home Telephone Mystery Shopping and Customer Satisfaction Surveys as well, which is much better.
I'd say the biggest are:
Performance in People
Douglas Stafford
Tern

I find these the most reliable for consistent work.

The agencies mentioned in the previous post are all very good. However, given that you are a newbie, I would suggest starting with Market Force.

Their briefs are very clear, the reporting tool is user-friendly and they pay promptly compared with many other agencies.

Their fees are fairly low, but you will find plently of jobs and its a good place to start to learn the business.

Good luck

Without wishing to sound too harsh but if you failed the TNS test then maybe this work isn't for you as that is one of the easier tasks.

I've had issues with SASSIE all morning across four different companies. It seems to be OKish now though.
