How do I get the paperwork for a TNS supermarket visit? I was sent an e-mail with a link, but it's since dissappeared!

The email has disappeared or the job. If the email then contact your area manager and ask them to send again. If the job has disappeared from your visits lists did you click on the link in the email and accept the term and condictions etc to say you were going to do the job?

Hi all, this will be my first tax return I have had to complete and was just wondering how you split the payments made eg. if you have shop visit for £5 fee and £10 purchase, do you put £5 or £15 as your turnover and then put the £10 in expenses or dod you not include the expenses at all???
Also if you have a job with no fee, just an expense allowance (ie a GAP restaurant job) do you put this on your tax return???

Thanks all

BTW is anyone really short of jobs from GR?? I have only had one new job in my area in the last 4 months (they used to be pretty sparse but now its just ridiculous!)

Its still in my visits, just my junk folder has deleted the e-mail! Have sent them a e-mail, to their main addy I think as I don't have a contact addy for my area manager!

I'm really getting into MSing now.

But I've come across a few more sites that I just cant seem to find any reviews about, has anyone had dealings with any of these companies:

obmysteryshopping.com
bluestargroup.co.uk
atkins-uk-retailers.co.uk
platinummarketingltd.com
servsci.co.uk

Also, some of the reviews I initially read about the following companies werent exactly glowing but things might have improved by now so I'd be interested to hear anyones experiences with:

internationalservicecheck.com
bareinternational.com

Really appreciate any assistance you can give. Tx. :wave:

Deedee Bluestar are in Glasgow where I live. Last year they were advertising for office staff ( for admin) I didn;t fancy that so applied as a MS'er but heard sod all back. Never ever seen a post about them. Not heard of the rest.

Bare and ISC many posters on here are with them. Bare are meant to be good. I am having trouble registering with them though. I did their test, passed it but got stuck trying to figure out how to search for jobs as it kept saying I had to sit the test.:eek:

Retail Maxim are good...have you tried them. Another good one is https://www.mysterycustomerevaluations.com and frontline focus.Also I like performanceinpeople though you don't get huge amounts of work.

Good luck:beer:

Thanks Hollypear, I think I will hold off applying to Bluestar for now then.

I signed up with Mystery Customer Evaluations earlier this week so hopefully will get some work from them soon. And I signed up with Frontline Focus a few weeks back but havent heard anything from them yet, likewise ... Performance in People, Aba-i (which I believe is Counter Intelligence and sounds v good so I'm a little disappointed).

IMS looks interesting but keep emailing me to say I'm not fuly registered yet and seem very keen on me attending some sort of conference or other in June/November which I am equally not as keen to attend. Lol.
