Hiya,

I've just joined the secret eating company. There's loads of jobs I could book but I've no idea how much work is involved. There doesn't seem to be an option to preview the questionnaire.

Please could someone let me know how much detail is required and how long the report takes? I'm not sure if it's worth booking a visit.

The reports are longer than your standard pub visit reports. They do ask for a great deal more detail but you do get feedback which is useful rather than pointless proof readers. If you are planning on expanding your MSing then this is a good company to do it with. Definitely up a level on your usual companies in regards to what's expected. Give it a go. If you think it's too much for you right now then at least you know.

Anyone done those photo-pharmacy visits before? How are they?

Especially if you have to be accompanied by the pharmacist when completing the questions and/or taking photos (do they actually mean that? Reads like it) It feels like it will take up an awful lot of their time and I can't imagine them being happy about it or dropping serving to do so.

Initially, I thought "this sounds like a decent days work". Having read it, it sounds like an awful day out being a nuisance and being made to wait around a lot.

Any thoughts?

Hmmm...be warned all - there's some kind of bug in the ESA mobile app today. I entered most of a visit on it whilst I was out, then checked it on the website and it had put the details into an entirely different visit. It's still showing as in the correct place on my phone. Odd!

Has anyone done the regular weekly audits of various corner/convenience stores that ESA is currently advertising for people to do?

I had a feeling that this is one where you need to scan large number of items on a certain day of the week and upload the result by lunch time the same day.

Is anyone happy to share what's involved as I am guessing it involves the ESA App.

Thanks.

Looks - a load of faff to me for the fee involved. Guess its fine if you can string aload of these together and make a day of it.

I did some for MF and 1 was particularly troublesome. The fees are dreadful and not much going on. Thank goodness I have a main job. Alot of things at airports but not very convenient.

ESA seem to pay well on banking jobs. I phone them sometimes and ask for any jobs that are not on the job board. Try it, it worked for me. £35 for audio visits. They call me sometimes as well

Are Retail Maxim still going? I haven't seen anything posted on the website for ages and its been months since I last had an email from them.
