Re DIY shop visits for TNS am I right in thinking you buy something and return it in the same visit........seems rather unusual or maybe I'm reading it wrong. Also would it be ok if OH came with me, as he's like a kid in a sweetie shop in DIY shops lol and would hate to miss out!

yep - you return it 3 mins later or something - they are going to think they have some pretty stupid shoppers!

Although there are a lot of jobs listed on GFK right now I just can't be bothered putting myself up for any of them. I hate to say it but I find the jobs boring at the best of times and the reporting process is just so long winded that for the pay I just don't think it is worth it. Oh, how I miss OC

Those shops are renowned for being obvious - if you're doing one of them, be ready for the cabaret!

I've got this one coming up as well. Need to make some calls before hand as well. This will be my first for TNS so am hoping it goes well.

Oh well, then I'm definitely bringing OH for the entertainment! Good job I don't get embarrassed easily........but still what a crazy scenario. But there is one very close to me and I'll try anything (within reason!) once

Picked up a couple of Govt agency jobs to "experienced GfK assessors" which is nice, I always wondered what my hidden rating for GfK was.

I also have 2 of the DIY shops coming up. I did one in the last wave and it went ok, and although I did feel like a bit of a tool (sorry I couldn't help myself!) I'm pretty sure I didn't get sussed!

Guy this is great but (and feel free to tell me to mind my own!) ........
you are putting a lot of info out there that anyone can access without them even having to register or join the forum (and therefore in turn make a contribution to your site) - I would move this into a secured location on your forum saying that its available to members.

I say this but I have no idea how technically you would do this :rotfl:

I am quite happy for people to leech from me, its all about sharing the love and helping people out...

:mad: The same scenario where you have to reveal yourself?

I have seen them up before but they were for DWP and not for the specific centre of work.
