Has anyone ever checked the distance given on RE from your postcode to the assignments? I've just looked at one that said 12 miles, checked it on the AA website and it's 39 miles!! - is this to make us travel further do you think!

Not checked the milage - but there is a job in London at the moment that is apparently 7 miles from my home in North Wales

Copy all of your answers into a word document and save them just in case they decline your app. If they do, you have the basis for your answers the next time; you'll just have to find what was wrong with them!

Is there any mystery shopping you can do without having to travel far as I would be walking

ruthiejane

There are some jobs that can be done on the phone - RE, TNS and GFK all have some occasionally. BARE do too - but I've never actually managed to get one.

Otherwise it would just be shops that are close enough for you to walk to which where I live is none at all, but in a city there would be many more.

Uh oh! That's a big NO NO I'm afraid, even if you do get a number. You'll be struck off, if you dare to ring them - so it's email only, I'm afraid! But you can always post the question on here, to see if we can help, if it's a general sort of query - just don't mention the name of the store.

Gapbuster will probably drop me because I've cancelled two burger jobs. Mainly because the food does me no good and for the breakfast ones the pay doesn't justify me getting out of bed half an hour early.

Can't say I'll be too fussed though as their own service is absymal.

Looking for some general help. I have to visit a mobile phone shop but have to get a business card as proof of the visit. Any suggestions as to the best way to obtain one without looking obvious?

Thanks

All I've said before is that I wanted to get my hubby to pop in after work - could I have a card so he knows who to ask for?

yeah I have said similar things. Or like, you've been really helpful I'll try and find you when I come back... that usually does it.

I tried to do a pharmacy job today and the place had shut down! come back and put why I cant complete the assigment down on the form and then it all disapeared and I realised I wont get paid for it! Have emailed so I hope it goes in my favour. Course I do also have a carrot to dangle - I still see loads of these visits locally and I have a prescription that if I wanted to I could possibly take to one....!?
