What You Need to Know About Secret Shopping Jobs, Part Two
The Application Process
If you've had the chance to read my overview and have been to volition, you know there is going to be some time involved in the application process.Making a living as a secret shopper is fueled around picking up assignments for multiple companies. Shoppers are contracted. Shoppers are not actually employees of secret shopping companies unless otherwise specified by the company. Shoppers might pick up one assignment from one company,
Volition
If you are using Volition's directory, in addition to the name of each company, Volition will provide additional information including brief descriptions of what types of assignments the company offers whenever possible. Once a company of interest is found, click on their link. Search the home page for their application, fill it out, and submit it. That's it!!! In most cases, there are no interviews to attend or phone calls to make. Nearly every aspect of secret shopping is conducted via the Internet. Applications will vary company to company and applications do need to be submitted to each company of shopper's interest. Here are some tips about the application process.
Locating Applications on the Home Page
This should be relatively easy. Most applications are in plain sight. Some specific words to look for are, 'Become a New Shopper," "Shopper Application," "New Shoppers." or some similar words.
Pace the application process
Filling out 200-300 applications is a time-consuming process and should be spread over time. There are companies that will submit applications for a fee. I don't know the integrity of any of these companies or their names, so I can not provide any further information about them.
Each Company is Different
