Good point about sticking with it. Not all jobs sound as fun as other jobs, but being reliable means you will keep your options open with everyone when they have a job you really, really want! Christie, you know what, I was (am) signed up with Bare. I guess I wasn't too busy with them in my area (Ohio), but I will check out my profile today to make sure I'm still up to date.

The president of that company is the co-founder of the MSPA and has been in business for over 20 years. Go to www.bareinternational.com to read about the company and www.baidata.com to sign up. We even have VIDEO shops!!! And of course, don’t forget to sign up with BARE International! The president of that company is the co-founder of the MSPA and has been in business for over 20 years.

With experience, though, there are better (and more interesting) assignments that become available to you. You are absolutely right that you should apply to many companies. You never know where that great job will come from. There is a list of nearly 200 companies that do not charge a fee at http://www.MysteryShoppersManual.com/mystery-shopping-companies Never pay a fee to sign up with a company. However, paying for the MSPA Certification (as you did) is a good idea. Certification is not required by any company, but it can help to open doors. Most importantly, when you accept an assignment, do it. Too many people sign up to be mystery shoppers then do not follow through. These companies count on you to do what you have promised. Although mystery shopping can be hard work, it is an enjoyable and flexible way to make extra money. Good luck with it!
