Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys? (Part Three)

Timmne

The shopping list is just to prompt you, so you can look at it discreetly without being spotted - looks like a normal list when you're shopping.

The small supermarket has no specific things you need to buy and I don't think the big one does either; 95% sure!

Gfk paid me on Friday.

Thanks Timmne, much appreciated. At least in future I won't end up with half a dozen 'X's in my freezer!

Like me you mean? It's my new year's resolution to not buy toilet rolls with MY money; instead only use MSing jobs in supermarkets to pay for them as part of the spend - this means I have at least 40 toilet rolls stashed away, making the job of explaining my store cupboard to friends, a little difficult!

Me too - it doesn't say who it is on my account online, but i think its GFK - could that be right?

I usually find with my BACS payments the day they come in it doesn't say next to it who the payment is from but the following day it has a note next to it. I assume this is updated in a batch ran overnight on the banking system.

Your not like me then, straight on the toilet after a burger job! Some reason burgers don't like to 'stay a while' with me!!!:rotfl:

Thanks guys, I'm not with GfK (not recruiting in my area at the moment )

So I guess it must be TNS. I am at work at the moment and odn't have all my details with me so couldn't work it out from the amount but after a rough tally it looks about right!

thanks again! :beer:

I am looking for some advice on applying for MS work. Just wondering about the types of qualities to include on the application for the best chance of success.
I have had a look through this thread but couldn't find anything (though there are a lot of posts) so if it has already been covered apologies for asking and could someone point me in the right direction?

On my applications I have always put the same things and got accepted. They are what I think are the qualities needed.

In no particular order.

Good observational skills
Good memory for details
Good pc skills
Experienced at compiling accurate reports
The ability to be fair and objective
You are punctual and reliable.

Then I always slipped in that I enjoy shopping and have been disappointed when I have received poor customer service and welcome the chance to play my part in improving and maintaining standards.

Hope this helps and let us know how you get on. Good luck.:beer:.

That helps loads thanks! I had applied to GAP and see I have been accepted (can view email subjects on my phone but not access them at work).

I had put something similar but without :
Experienced at compiling accurate reports
The ability to be fair and objective
You are punctual and reliable.

I shall use those in future.

So is it advisable to register with several MS agencies? I am looking to do things a couple of week day evenings and a mixture of all weekend, mornings or afternoons depending on other commitments (football matches, agency driving).

Does anyone else think that the GAP stamp shop questions are ridiculous, I have one today and appear to have to ask 3 completely different questions on completely unrelated topics, surely I'd be better going wearing a "I'm a Mystery Shopper" T-shirt?
