The most popular shops take years to get, as they have multiple shoppers applying. To establish yourself, start with those that stay in the board for a long time each month. Unfortunately, that means you'll often be taking something that you don't want and don't get paid (reimbursement only). Sometimes there are phone shops you can take, and they don't pay too bad, but they are in depth. Once you do them a few times, they're a snap. Amusement parks, waterparks, etc. are harder to get than skating & bowling...those are even bonused sometimes. Good luck!
