: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.

Yeah - i think so but it as I had just started doing ms-ing I didn't think I was up to it - but now - BRING IT ON! :rotfl:

Forgive ignorance but what is DWP? Oh actually I just got it!

Well, just done my 1st posh supermarket MS for OC, but it's a bit strange that they don't ask for any descriptions of staff and none of them wear name badges, well, not in the store I went to and the name isn't on the receipt either.

Then when I came to complete the scorecard it asks for the staff member's name that I was meant to contrive to get, but which one, when I asked 3 for help and then there was a 4th on the checkout?

Hope it doesn't scupper my payment - how do you contrive to get someone's name when you're asking if they sell gift vouchers or what's the best wine to go with my meal???

Anyone done any of these?

I just did my first supermarket with OC, and was also a bit confused when they don't ask you to check the name badges, and then there is a field to fill in for the name on the scorecard! I just wrote n/a, since I suspected that it is just a general form for all of their assignments, and my invoice was accepted today so I don't think you have to worry.

hello peeps I've got 2 of the diys booked as well but I haven't seen the paperwork yet so had no idea it was a return job - how daft is that (oh well, ho hum..)

Also received the flattering blurb about being an experienced assessor now but I think that the fee is way too low for a 'reveal' job which looks like a big form too - what do you all think or am I being greedy:p

I didnt get a flattering email form GFK but the job appeared and I took it (I havent done many jobs for GFK either??) I did think it was a bit cheap but I want to do it for experience! Bit worried about the reveal tho as I know I will just go bright red LOL

Hi I am a newbie here but have read this thread with interest as i have just started applying for some MS jobs.

I checked GFK just now and they have offered me a job with a reveal then said i shouldnt take it as i am not experienced and a job at a company i used to work for so darent do as i cant be sure i wont know the person who greets me.

Do you normally have to decline a lot of jobs or are most people able to pick and choose?

Thanks for everyones useful tips too!!!

Hello Pink, welcome to the thread - I would say that you wouldn't be ineligible for most jobs on the basis of having worked there cos you can't have worked everywhere (?) I would say you'd normally find a good mix of jobs each month that you could do - obviously moe if you are in a biggish town or city. Good luck!:D

Thanks sinderella, it said on the things I couldnt take it if i knew the staff and after 17 years with the same company i know a heck of a lot of them! lol! but i guess there is far more companies out there to look out for...

just wish i'd joined when i HAD worked there so i'd known Mystery shoppers were coming....:rotfl:

I've managed to grab 4 mystery shops with the same scenario, pretty near each other, so that should be an easy morning/afternoon's work
