How to Find Mystery Shopper Jobs

There are plenty of free job search resources that post updated mystery shopping opportunities. Several of them are listed below with accompanying website links.

Note: Before embarking on your mystery shopping job search make sure you are registered as a shopper with one or more individual companies. You must be approved as a secret shopper before requesting any mystery shopping jobs and some mystery shopping job search methods will not be plausible unless you have a login and password to enter. It is wise to get the sign up stage out of the way well before you start hunting for mystery shopping job opportunities.

And now, where to find great mystery shopping jobs.
Here are some tips:

*Opt in to emails lists*
Opt in to receive emails from individual mystery shopping companies you have registered to shop for. This way you will receive any mystery shop job opportunities they may happen to send out to active shoppers. Usually you can opt in during the shopper registration process. Otherwise sign into the mystery shopping website to update your profile and select this option there.

*Scheduling Companies*
Sign up with Mystery Shopper Scheduling Companies such as KSS International and Quality Scheduling Group. Schedulers for these companies have the role of recruiting mystery shoppers like you to fulfill assignments for many different companies. Registration with a single scheduler can get you access to mystery shopping opportunities from several companies at once.

*Check Mystery Shopping Company job boards regularly*
Sign into company websites regularly. Some of the mystery shop companies allow you to access their job boards directly and apply for mystery shopping assignments. The companies that offer this feature do not always send email alerts each time a new mystery shop opportunity comes up, so often times if you fail to utilize this job search resource you will miss out on some opportunities.

Some Mystery Shopping Companies who regularly post new secret shopper opportunities on their websites are:

A Closer Look
Beyond Hello
Customer Perspectives
ICC Decision Services

(More extensive lists of Mystery Shopping Companies may be found at WAHM.com, or Mom-Mom.com.)

Once you've registered for some of the above companies, consider checking in regularly with the links listed on Volitions Daily Checklist. Volition has compiled a very useful list of direct links to job boards for the mystery companies listed above along with many others. This makes the mystery shopping job search process go more quickly.

*Browse Mystery Shopping Forums*
A final tip for finding great mystery shopping jobs is to browse free job boards and mystery shopping related forums for jobs posted by schedulers. Some of the more respected and easy to search mystery shopper job boards include a forum by the Mystery Shopping Providers Association and Volition Mystery Shopping Job Board. The Delphi Forums also provide great leads.
