Most mystery shopper
openings are advertised in national and local newspapers especially
by market research companies with extensive regional and national
mystery shopping company clientele. In such cases, a telephone
number is normally provided from which to request further
information about a specific mystery shopping assignment. If
opportunities are available when you phone you will probably be sent
a mystery shop application form which when completed will be kept on
file against suitable openings occur in future.
One of the best ways
to find regular mystery shopping work is to approach market research
companies direct, from advertisements in Yellow Pages and
listings of member companies affiliated to national and
international market research organizations.
Even market research
companies which don’t use mystery shoppers to any great extent may
still require field workers to ask questions of shoppers and
passers-by or to distribute questionnaires or man stalls in
supermarkets from which to distribute samples of food and drink.
When applying ‘cold’,
that is without knowing what vacancies exist, it’s usually best to
write a simple letter offering yourself as a mystery shopper.
Not all companies like to answer the phone all day to people
enquiring about jobs and in such cases it’s unlikely the person on
the other end of the phone will record information about you for
future use.
A letter or
curriculum vitae is different, and means you can tell the potential
employer everything he needs to know without feeling you are
interrupting or making a nuisance of yourself. Include a
photograph and details of when you are available for work, how far
you can travel and whatever experience you already have. List
your hobbies and interests for specialist assignments.
Unless your
handwriting is really neat and tidy it’s a good idea to type your
letter and curriculum vitae (resume) or have them prepared by a
professional secretarial bureau.
Anyone intending to
apply to several companies might have a template letter produced on
disk, giving name, address and personal details, leaving only the
recipient’s details to add for a fresh, customized letter each time.
