Ipsos cell phone question

Ipsos has a cell phone shop within a block of where I drive two days a week for $30. I am unable to see the report before accepting the work, but it does state there are 156 questions to fill-in. At this stage of my life, narrative is not a problem, but short term memory of a voluminous quantity can be difficult. Is, in your opinions, this a job for which I should apply?

I can't tell you what to do but if I were you, having done several of those shops now, I would do it. They will have certain things for you to watch for listed in the guidelines. Of course salespeople may or may not adhere to the guidelines but they are not difficult shops.

CQ,

Thank you for a reply that was both rapid and concise. Predicated upon your recommendation, I applied this afternoon.

I have done many of their cell phone shops, but none had 156 question.

They’re easy shops, shopperbob! They are also one of my favorite MSCs.

They sound worse than they are, and only certain questions appear on the survey, depending on your answers and the scenario assigned to you. I always dread doing them, but I keep taking them. Then I wonder when I'm done with one why I dreaded it so much. I have a hate/love relationship with these shops! But.... I would never do one at base fee. Ever.

I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.

Thanks to all for sharing. So far, the work has not been assigned, which I find strange in that these had a much higher fee than when they first appeared.

I applied for a bunch of bonused cell phone shops due this week that have not been assigned. Emailed the scheduler and still no response except for more robo emails from MSC listing job openings. That's one of the features of working with this MSC from my experience.

I had a similar experience last week. I received an email from the scheduler on June 17th, with a project due date of June 22, asking for an email response to be assigned. I requested two locations but never heard back. But I wouldn't hesitate to do the shops and enjoy working with the MSC overall.

156 questions correct if all apply. Normal amount is 50 to 100 max you will answer. Many are repetitive, as the form is poorly done. There is about 15 pages to print. Low cost for $30.

Click on the i under info and it tells about some and gives a link for the shop docs. All I am showing are trips to or from other places.

I also applied and did not hear from the scheduler. Today, I accessed my Ipsos home page, only to learn the work had been assigned to another person.

You’ll get one before long. Keep applying. They also announced they will pay weekly, so the shops are likely super competitive now.

Same here, and I think the reason is the required "What kind of TV/cell phone/whatever do you have?" question. Sooner or later they will catch on and it will be a dead giveaway that you're a shopper. And it's not a helpful question anyway, since they could have gotten their TV in an irresistible Black Friday deal or the cell phone for free for switching carriers (like I got my current TV and cell phone). A better question would be something like "If you were buying a new one now, which would you choose?".
