    Following the advice I have started to apply to more companies. Working down the list Retaileyes and TNS I can say I was recommended if anyone would like me to put them as the "friend"

    I assume there will be more so if you are in the ones below TNS then also feel free to message me.

    No point in me applying and not putting recommended by someone if there might be something in it for them is there?

    I think with RE it needs to be the referrER that refers someone rather than you saying you were referred by someone... Not 100% certain but I think it's not worked for me before when somebody put my name down as their referrer....

    My opinions on the 3 MS sites I have joined so far are:

    RE - Very good website. Clear concise instructions

    GAP - Poor website. Appears to be nowhere where I can see how much money I have coming, how my assignment write-ups went, if they were accepted. Good training programmes.

    TNS - Simple website. Instructions are very poor and you don't get any details until you have accepted the job.

    Is this what others are finding or is it just me?

    This is also what I have found, you did miss one thing for Gap though - rubbish fees! :rolleyes:

    got home having asked my questiosn and made myself look like a complete tool, only the questions on my printed questionnaire weren't the same as the ones in their online system, not allowed to call so have done a web enquiry, might hear back today but doubt it, I guess my report will be late and I will be in trouble!

    I've had three emails from GAP over two days about the stamp shops - I reckon they're trying to be really good so that they don't lose the whole lot to RE.

    I also had a call about a burger from them, which offered a small premium fee. I asked him to double it, but he'd only go to a certain amount saying that he's not allowed to increase it above that level. I wonder now if he was having me on, the premium was still a single digit.

    Anyway, looks as though they've changed the paperwork for burgers so should be simple to do.
  • I do RE and so far have found them really easy to deal with. Everything's very clearly laid out, I know what I'm doing, when I'm doing it, etc. And I've had some really good jobs from them, from clothes shopping to clubbing! Their advisors have been really easy to deal with too!

    thats a good idea, maybe something that can go on the 1st post; on the MS company list, along with the boring details web address/pay details/our opinions (anonymous of course)
  • GfK get the best paperwork and service award in my opinion.

    However as others state, Gap are garbage and dont offer a fee?

    RE - never had the experience of doing a shop, similarly with TNS.
