    I have finally accepted some jobs with GfK; mobile phone ones. I have never done anything for them before; how are the reports? Better or worse than Bare and RE? Also, how are they with paying?

    personally I find them simpler than Bare and less repetitive than RE. I've been paid regular every month - no disputes ;)

    I have done a few so far with GfK and find the questionnaires good. The fee seems pretty reasonable. I haven't been paid yest as only stared with them this month.
    The only thing I have found so far is that a lot of their work seems to be for existing customers of the companies you are MSing so I can't do most of them!

    hi, another daft question i'm sure, i have a job with GAP at a high street place where the minimum spend is £5 - what do I do with what I have bought? can't see it anywhere on the instructions...

    Keep it! Or see if you can get a refund, but it makes more sense to spend wisely and keep it...
    Smile ! And pass it on..

    Quick question:

    Is there a limit to the amount of jobs you can apply foro n BARE? I've seen quite a few that are convenient for me and that I am more than able to undertake.

    What I mean is does it look bad? Am I less likely to be offered anything?

    I have only just recently signed up with them and am about to undertake my first shop for them on Thursday...........

    Apply for as many as you like but make sure you do them on time and submit reports on time. Then they won;t think you took too many on.

    Well fellow forumees. Tomorrow I start my Asda job. And BTW I am a checkout colleague....says so on my job offer. I get 3 days training. I mentioned to my husband last night you know that casual way one speaks to one's better half. "Mm I wonder how you work that conveyer belt thing at the checkout" OMG he said if it is a foot pedal knowing your driving eryone's shopping is going to go zzzzzzz and right off the other end onto the floor.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Lots of new jobs on Gap at the moment, but only coffee ones at weekends when I can't do them. Bu**er!
