I received this email yesterday... I am unable to do this so check it out....

-------------------

Hello, this is Debbie and you may have done a focus group or research study for us before. I am putting together a fun and creative session in Silver Springs, MD (near D.C.) next week. This is a very unique interview as the study entails interviewing people individually on camera to do an in-studio shoot about various TV programming you watch. The session is not for broadcast, strictly for market research purposes. The session is taking place either1/23, 1/24 or 1/25; each session lasts 1 hour and pays you $125.



I really need people that are outgoing, expressive and interested in talking about their favorite TV shows on camera, so if you, or anyone you know may fit, please email back to me with the following answers and I will call you with details.



Your Phone #’s:

Age/Gender



Do you watch any of these regularly, if so, what show or shows are your regulars or favorites on any of these channels:



Food Channel

Discovery Channel

A & E

Bravo

History Channel

Learning Channel

Home and Garden

VH1

Court TV

Oxygen

MTV



Also, please let us know something that is interesting and unique about you. The more detail you provide the better.



I look forward to hearing from you, and since I need a variety of people, I really would appreciate it if you could please pass my message to other people that would be interested in this opportunity.



Thank you.

Debbie Freedberg

I have never worked with this particular company before. All studies vary. Some are just regular surveys where you answer questions online. Some, they would like to talk to you on the phone. Some are interactive. (net & phone simultaneously) Often, we just don't know until we actually do it. If you are ever uncomfortable with the process just tell them. Any legit company worth their salt will accept that. They may try to ease your fears but none will ever force you to do anything you are not comfortable with.
Just go with it. Usually after 1 or 2 of these you will know if this type of thing is for you. Please come back and tell us how it works out for you! Congrats and good luck!

I search a few different ways I go to my home city first Tulsa, OK and look there searching Research, Study and survey in the jobs section and the community section. Then I move on searching each large city the same way.

I have definitely appreciate all your help Lucy. As well as all the people that have been posting on a regular basis. Cheers for Tsqaured. It has enabled me to relax and take a much needed rest the last few weeks. I feel like a mother hen watching her baby grow and flourish on it's own. When I first got this forum started no one would post. I thought for sure it would die. I bailed on the forum for a couple of weeks. I had pneumonia. When I came back it was still here. Now it's thriving! I am so pleased!

They asked about high cholesteral and blood pressure as well as arthritis. Maybe they are looking for people with these problems who eat those items. It might be something that is supposed to lower cholesteral or blood pressure. I kind of hope it is. I care for my parents who have all 3 between them.

Hello. My name is Carolyn Hodges and I am a research coordinator for AlphaBuzz, a national market research company.

We are currently seeking teenagers 14 and up to participate in a 90-minute in-home interview about digital media. Two people from our research team would like to interview you in your home between Wednesday, April 25th and Wednesday, May 2. Part of the advantage of conducting these interviews in your home is that it’s very convenient for you, and also allows us to get a visual image of your different digital media devices. Participants will receive a cash honorarium of $150 to thank them for their time and feedback.

We are specifically looking for teens with the following types of mobile phones:
LG Chocolate, Helio, Motorola ROKR, or Sony Ericsson Walkman (aka W Series.)

As always, this is strictly for market research purposes and no sales attempt will be made now or in the future as a result of your participation.
