Incorporating MSing into my resume

December 03, 2007 01:32PM
Can someone suggest how I can incorporate msing into my resume? I've tried to convince two resume writers that msing is LEGITIMATE work and that our skills can easily be utilized (and I would think WANTED) in other industries, but everyone seems to think its a scam. I'm Gold certified, have an average rating of 10 and am proud of it! I've worked hard to get to this level and am convinced that there is a way to include the work and skills into my resume, I just can't find the right words. I can't even come up with a reasonable description of what msing is - obviously writers block of some sort.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

If you can't get a Resume Writer to include "mystery shopper" on your resume, don't forget that you were ACTUALLY "self employed", so you might try listing it that way. You can show the type of business as a business that "evaluated policy compliance and customer service levels" of area businesses (or some such description). You can list your "job title" as an "evaluator" (or, again, some such thing).

MAYBE, then you'll be able to get them to list your experience.

I always just put down that I do Business Compliance Audits. If they ask me what it is I just tell them that I am an Independant Contractor and contracted to several Companies and I can do whatever they need done in the area where I live. I also let them know that I have to take tests in order to do some of the jobs that need to be done. They don't usually ask a lot of other questions beyond that point. I don't tell anyone that I do Mystery Shopping because no one seems to take that seriously.
