A few years back, mystery shopper job opportunities made their debut on the job market. These job opportunities are inviting to people due to the simplicity of the work and the promise of big profits by some of the mystery shop companies that are sponsoring them. However, before you go diving into this new career opportunity, you should understand what is really going on with mystery shopping jobs. You must also know how to discern the legitimate mystery shopper job opportunities from those that will not profit you in any way or are just plain mystery shopper scams. It can be an easy way to make some extra money, but there is also a lot of competition for these jobs, and a lot of mystery shopper scams waiting to bite you. Mystery shopping basically entails finding legitimate firms who work with retail, restaurant and other types of companies. These companies contract with mystery shopping firms in order to receive feedback on certain business locations, such as a particular restaurant or retail store location in your area. You sign up to do a “shop” and act like a normal customer and report back with your experience after the shop is done. The mystery shopping company has a set of directions for you to follow while doing the “shop” (some even require that you take digital photographs). Most mystery shop companies have an online form for you to fill out and email back to the mystery shopper firm in exchange for an agreed-upon compensation. You must fill out exactly what they ask for, or you may not receive compensation. I myself occasionally do restaurant shops because I enjoy getting discounted and sometimes even free meals! To begin a career in mystery shopping, you must first find firms that are decent to work for. …I say firms because you probably won’t get enough work by going strictly with one mystery shop company, given that their jobs are usually spaced out and first come first served after receiving the notice. You can directly apply to these mystery shopping companies without having to pay for an application fee. In fact, if they ask for a fee to apply, it’s probably a mystery shopper scam. Any new mystery shopping companies that you consider working for you should research first on the internet. One way is by not only putting the mystery shopping companies names in the search engine, but also putting the word scam in there to see if anyone has written them up as mystery shopper scam. If you are thinking about pursuing these mystery shopping job opportunities, you should have good communication and socializing skills. Any person of any orientation is welcome to apply for a mystery shopper job. It is always nice to have previous experience, but you do not need it in most cases. However, because these jobs are often swamped with applications, having previous experience is often helpful. Being able to do mystery shopper job opportunities with only a day or two notice is also a big plus. Remember, companies that are truly legitimate will not charge you a fee to place your application with them. Most of these legitimate companies will provide simple applications online for those who are interested. Make sure that you fill these online applications out completely because most mystery shopping companies will not accept applications that are incomplete in any way. Once you have registered with one of these mystery shop companies, they may inform you about dozens of mystery shopping job opportunities, although only a few may be in your area. This will more than likely be done through e-mail. There are both part time and full time mystery shopper job opportunities if you register with several mystery shopping companies. However, this is a first come, first serve industry. Therefore, if you are looking to land a job in this field, you will have to be quick.
