MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD 18 - please don't mention client names or fees on here!!

Beckfordbaby

A small private mystery shopping company has some job opportunities for experienced shoppers with their own video recording system. Required in Northumberland, North Yorkshire, Sussex, Somerset and London (west and south). Best to have your own transport as some of the venues are not easy to reach by public transport. I've worked for this company for 6 years and can recommend them, they are very fair. Send me a private message and I'll pass the company details to you.

Has anyone done the Census application? I did all the online tests and now I've got a telephone interview on Monday :j That's thanks to Jen br who mentioned it last year. Thank you Jen!!!!!!!!!!:beer:

I did a telephone interview last week. It only lasted about ten minutes and they just asked some basic questions about the job, like could I work evenings and weekends, then some experience questions. They asked me to give an example of when I worked in a team, experience of working with the public, communicating with a wide range of people and something else but I can't remember what it was.

I hardly get anything from GfK anymore. Do you have anything other than RED and LOC on your visits available page? I use to do loads for them but am trying to figure out if other people are getting the jobs or if there is just a lack of jobs. Where was your bank?

I agree - I used to get loads before they merged the GfK and GfK NOP sites. Now I hardly see any clients.

Well, as of today I have no full-time job. I look forward to a redundancy payout, but in the meantime some serious mystery shopping will help to fill the gap!

My provisional plan at the moment is to go self-employed, not just doing this but a variety of the things I'm good at .

Oh no! I feel for you. Hope your other work is legal ! .

Heheh, just re-read my post and see your point!

Yeah - my old professional lends itself nicely to freelancing, and I've been approached by a vintage clothing shop (my penchant) to partner up too

I'm sorry to hear about your full-time job Badger Lady! I'm convinced we're heading for a recession again as things are getting really really tough!

How can you lot post so much in five days??:eek:

It has taken me ages to read (confirm that I haven't missed anything really signifcant). I had a minor eye op on Friday and although I've been dabbling with work (3 or 4 jobs a day) I haven't had the staying power to anything more than submit reports. Full steam ahead from now on, though - it's just a shame that the amount of work available doesn't match my enthusiasm!

P.S. 3X fee on one job for tomorrow (are things looking up?):T
