I applied for MCE a while ago, but not heard anything from them, is this usual, it is possible they don't have any MS jobs in Cornwall, certainly we don't have many special coffee shops! perhaps someone could let me know...cheers

You have to go onto the website and check - theres a link on the right saying something like 'click here for visits in your area' and from there you can look in other areas too. There's new stuff on there today

Has anyone done any work for Mystery Outsource? I joined a while ago, but when I log in there are never any jobs for me to look at. Do I need to contact them?

TIA

From what I understand Mystery Outsource "source" field workers for other companies. I have done some bare shops through them, and also had some other companies jobs e mails from them. Saying that they also do coffee shops. They send you e mails with available work so I don't check their site!

I have noticed most site have become very busy these days especially GFK.

With RE can you only take a maximum 3 jobs? I was just wondering because since i've had 3 active its not let me accept anything else, even things which obviously weren't taken when I clicked them as they are still there now and I clicked them at lunch.

Well I've only done one pizza delivery and I didn't ask for a receipt! :eek:
However I did get a c/card receipt and used the info from that and they still paid me.

The only tip I can suggest is perhaps having a checklist when you're making the call; stuff like:
Time call started:
No. Rings:
Name:
Upsell Y/N
Farewell Y/N

That way you should get everything down whilst you're on the phone. Give it a go and I'm sure it will be fine for you.

Re claiming purchases against tax, what I do (whether or not its correct is another matter!) is if its a "we reimburse to £5, spend more if you wish", then if I spend £10, I'll claim the £5 - regardless of if I'll use the item or bin it. If it's a "spend more than £5", then I go through the receipt and claim the amount where the first time the running total of items exceeds £5. (If that makes sense?).

There is no total maximum once you are out probation. However you can sometimes only accept a certain number of jobs from the same store/company. I accepted 2 phone calls when they were on teh other day then couldn't view details of any more despite being able to see them in the available list - as you were limited to 2.

Then today they had some booze shops on and I got 2, then the rest diappeared, because again you can only have 2 from the same "batch"

Hi Guys,

Don't know if this is allowed so sorry if I have broken any rules but my rep has just emailed me to say she has been let down by a shopper and has three assignments very urgent for this weekend in Chichester W Sussex.

One is for a well known upper class shoe shop ( your voice comes back as an - - - - ) The other is for two upper class ladies clothes shops first name begins L. Payment is £16 first and £8.50 each the second. Anyone who can help please PM me so I can put you in touch. Thanks Everyone

I see - perhaps you beat me to the booze shops, I clicked them all and didn't get any :rotfl: I only got one of the calls too so I thought that was all I was allowed.

Thanks for clearing that up! I am new and have at least one question a day.

I got my first Gap begging call today too
