    Hi :)

    Wanting some advice really. I'm updating my CV hoping to go back to working in my industry next year. I've been MS part time since 2007 and also I am a stay at home mum. I haven't worked in my industry since 2004.

    How do I put my employment of Mystery Shopping on my CV, bearing in mind that potential employers will be mystery shopped themselves :o:o. I dont want my self employment to go against me but also want to prove that I have been working.

    Can anybody help me? PM me if you like.

    Many thanks x

    I've only been to one interview recently but they really liked the mystery shopping thing.

    Otherwise, just think of a title related (merchandiser?) and use that but if they ask for examples, you're stuffed. I'd just say what you've been doing. If you find it counts against you, then adjust your CV.

    Good luck! :)

    Hey, new to the forum, have been ms for about 4 years now and have never done any hotel jobs (apart from a theme park a few months back).. anyone know who does these jobs, am looking at the budget hotels, (the one with lenny henry, or the other cheap one; traveling around and lodging) Any companies doing any hotels would be appreciated! Thanks! :-):j
  • I've probably missed them, as I've been smitten with a cold this week, but, has anyone seen any new Gap jobs recently in Scotland?
    Many thanks :)

    Lots of stamps came and went yesterday. May still be a couple lurking in more remote spots.

    Oh, and a few phones too that I nearly took.

    Just opened my replacement packet of custard creams from an egg shop job, and they're all broken. Is that what they call karma? :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    I've been Money Tipped!
    :rotfl::rotfl:

    Completed a MS bank phone call this week.

    As part of my security I was asked the last transaction that had gone through the account.

    I told them I think it was probably a company called retail eyes. The guy on the phone said "Ooh, that's a mystery shopping company isn't it? I looked into working for them last year. Hope you aren't mystery shopping me. (laughed) " :rotfl:

    Never been accused of being a mystery shopper before, then twice in one week!
