Just when i was thinking of applying for tns - is it just application form to fill in. Think lots of people get rejected, it may just be that there are enough shopppers in our area.

thank you tigergold Can I ask do you need to record the call or they do it then send you a downloadable file to list to?

mumofjusttwo

D'oh sorry. Just realised I wasn't at the top of the page 2 where it gives info about recording call

I applied for TNS and got accepted first time yet someone else I know it took 3 attempts! I think you just need to bear in mind what they are looking for when answering the questions. Also be extra careful with spelling and grammar when answering as they want the reports to be spot on so the questionnaire is a good gauge of your English. I won't pretend to be an expert though - only been doing it for less than a month and got my 4th job coming up - just what I've gathered from reading other peoples posts.

I still keep getting mega nervous when it comes to doing the jobs. Ridiculous really considering when I am "normal" shopping I do not worry at all - I feel like I have a sign on my forehead - even before asking for a receipt! I'm sure it will become second nature soon though.

I am going to start wading through the GAP specific tests and start booking jobs for them soon. Only done TNS and Bare so far.

Can I ask a silly question.

If I am asked to get a burger and a pint for example and the spent is for £9 can I only buy that or can I spend £9. For example get a glass of coke etc to bring it up to £9.

This is with R.E.?

I did one of these with my wife. I bought the Beer and Burger Meal (£4.49), which we ate between us!:eek: I had the pint and she had the coffee (large Latte £1.09). I bought an extra meat burger (£1), Bacon and Cheese (99p), Coleslaw (60p), Onion rings (60p). Total spend £8.77 which is under the £9.00:D

Bloomin 'eck ! Managed to pick up one of these (there were about 20) - then when I went back to bag another, they'd all gone ! Do they really go that quick !!! Glad I was in right place at the right time (this will be my 2nd job for RE). Only on site because I was emailing them because they marked me down for a late assignment (their website playing up!)

Also, does anyone know, now that my first assignment was accepted, I can't see it on 'pending payments' - should it be on there?
