Marketforce screener for new client

This afternoon I answered the screener for a new client and it said I was not eligible. The screener was 4 easy questions and I don't think I hit the wrong radio button. Anyone else experience this? It is the competitor to the arches and married to DQ.

Same thing happened to me. I was just as surprised as you to be disqualified. I know I didn't answer the pre-screening questions incorrectly, so I have no idea what is going on. Maybe a glitch of some kind. Anyone else?

CAscotch - I emailed the MF (marketforce...lol) help desk and asked them to place me on a do not call list. Used the excuse that I sleep during the days sometimes due to a night shift job. It worked. Haven't received a call yet and it had absolutely no bearing on my ability to select new jobs or anything else.

Good luck! They sure were a pain in the butt with the non stop phone calls!
Back to the OP's original inquiry...has anyone else tried out the pre-screen for MF's new client, and what were your results?

The same thing happened to me. Theres only 4 questions so its impossible to screw up. I had no intention of doing the shop anyway since it paid nothing. I was only snooping. Theres no good reason to start doing shops just for free food unless you are starving to death!
Hmmmm. I know MF does not want emails sent to them if shoppers are DQ'd from an assignment, but it sounds like something is snafu'd with the screening quiz.

Same thing happened to me just a few minutes ago. I wondered what I did wrong. Thanks for the help!
oops.... my bad. I was looking for shops in a particular city... and voila'... I saw it.

They must be looking for people who have smart phones willing to report instantaneously????
Saw a shop in my area. Took the test out of curiosity. Failed. Emailed Help Desk. Will report any response here.

Or work for one of the competitors? HAHA. I can't imagine why they would care what type of cell phone you have UNLESS they wanted you to use it on the shop. I think it is definitely an error as well.

OMG- I was wondering if I hit the wrong button. What, they want people who have family members working there? Was it the phone question? Looking back, there is no shop fee, just a reimbursement up to $8. What gives?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. With all of us being DQ'd, I'm wondering how the assignments are going to get filled. Looking forward to seeing what kind of response Buzz gets from the Help Desk.

Now I'm really curious. Checking within a 200 miles radius of me there are no reimbursement only shops.

Lisa, unless Liz searched in Florida, there have to be shops near you...I'll check as well.
They seem to be loosing the sexy young shops in the mall with the copy down the 4 numbers of a top on the first counters.... It is a dollar less from new company but then it is a new company and not MF!
Karen, that's why I was surprised at not seeing anything. Maybe I'll try some cities in Florida.

I don't even have those shops on my board at all. I thought of taking the screener and lying on all of it to see if it's just backward.

I'm sure it's a glitch in the program. They may have forgotten to program what the "right" answers were so anything you say is "wrong."

I pray it does not occur that the last thing I did before I died was vacuum the house or eat broccoli.
Which gives me an idea.... the next one to try to take it, try to submit it without answering ANY of the questions at all. Maybe it's programmed to accept (null) as the response.

that would be something you could try without "failing" since it should either kick back and say "you have to answer the questions" or if I'm right, it may "pass" you because you didn't give it any "wrong" answers.

Like you I was going to try it and see what happened. Since FF shops are not my thing at any price, it wouldn't bother be to blocked for a round.

Okay. It has been fixed and I was able to re-take the test without having to ask to do so. Since the description of the assignment claimed it was a simple DT shop involving timing, I decided to try one just to see if that is really all there is involved. That's actually a little deceptive. The report has 26 questions. Fortunately there is no narrative and you can order any of 10 combo meals. Overall an easy report if all you care about is a free meal with no fee.

It is in Florida. I took it and passed, so it must've been fixed. However, I don't like their food. Once I bought a meal inside and my burger was cold. Gross!
