I have been with GFK for a month now and all assignments are daytime during the week. Is there something I need to tick somewhere to say I'd like evening or weekend ones? I emailed them and they say they have loads of this but I've never seen one.

When you log in you can update this in your details page.

Hi everyone. Thought I would just ask if anyone is or has recent experience with RM? Am MSing for RE, GFK & BARE and thought Id expand my options a bit further! The RM application seems very long? DO they call, email or is it self allocation with their assignments - any of your thoughts much appreciated.

They send text messages and you have to call back with the ref number they send you.

Ah, i registered with them about a week ago, did their online test and stuff but not heard a bean from them since. If i remember rightly after I completed the test it didn't even say when to expect to hear from them.

Does anybody have any experience with Frontline Focus? I can't figure out how to use the website, there's nowhere to put my shopper id and password. Do I have to email them everytime I want to apply for a job?

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the bit of info on Retail Max. Shame they dont have a system like RE or GFK, so much more convenient! I did recieve an email back from Maxim to say that it can take upto two weeks to process applications. In the meantime lets hope those high street sandwich bars at RE appear again sometime soon - I do love those!!

I was accepted by RM but have not had any offer of assignments, not sure if it because of my area, is it hard to get assignments?

Got my first assignment for GAP tonight and am really nervous ! Will go through all my paperwork again (for about the 5th time!) before I go. Just wondering how you do the 'timing' without making it obvious that you keep looking at your watch - any suggestions would be gratefully received !

Luckily i'm pretty central in the south east region so I get quite a lot of jobs come up here from GAP. There are always jobs when I log on to check, I just don't want to take on too many whilst i'm still new.

Have another assignment tomorrow for Grassroots. Just hope I fill out all the paperwork right and don't get rejected for something silly !

Wish me luck !

Hi, I find it best to use the stop watch on my mobile and then choose split timing... then you can discretly click in your pocket at every point.

From what I can tell (and lord knows they give you little information!) if you can do any of the jobs listed you call them and tell them. It is one shoddy website. I don't understand what the sports jobs involve, what you actually do for them etc. And i don't have the one food outlet that they do near me so I doubt i'll ever do a job for them!

I haven't even heard of P*** J**** Me and the OH like horse racing so I'd be keen to do any jobs that involved going to the gee gees.

Any one done any bulk calls for optimum. What is the acceptance ratio. When you call do most of them agree to take part or do most of them say not interested. Might do some calls but just wants hints and tips beforehand
