While waiting for a full-time job

October 24, 2014 03:14AM
Hello all,

I live in the San Diego area. I'm currently working as a merchandiser as a part-timer. My hours were good the first 6 months when I started last year (around Aug 2013). The last few months, the hours dwindled and my reserves are getting low.

I have done some mystery shopping before but stopped for about a year since I got the merchandising job. I'm currently looking for a 40-hour work, but I know it will take time. This time, I'm seriously considering taking more projects for mystery shop to cover my bills.

I have also worked in the accounting department as a clerk for over 10 years and would like to go back to it, but have not given up. In the meantime, I'm hoping mystery shopping will help. I have free time in the afternoon.

I am MSPA silver certified. Do I need the membership? I recently saw an e-mail for membershi asking for renewal. How does that affect my certification? It was in 2013.

Mystery shopping can certainly help supplement your income, while you decide on full-time employment. There has been much discussion on the forum about MSPA certification. It works for some; not for others. Use the Search function if you want to read other shoppers' input regarding certification.

Thanks @mert. I'll research the older posts. In the meantime, I just go to mspa.jobslinger and build up my shops that way. I check here at the forum for reviews if I can pick up some tips. Sometimes, I just proceed, anyway.

I'm doing my own trial and error experience and hoping to become better as I go. In a few months time, I should be able to know what company works for me or not.

Can't wait to start receiving checks by next month. I'm starting my separate mystery shop file folders today.
