Hi all!
Just wanted to post an official hello. I've been lurking (and liking) posts for a couple of months now, so I figured I should come out of hiding and introduce myself.
I've been mystery shopping for over 10 years, but only recently has it become a "job." I've been doing it almost exclusively since June. I'm partial to audits, but I like to wander around stores and ask questions about electronics, eat out and take cars for test drives. :-) When I'm not shopping, I am a freelance writer and jewelry designer.
I shop in the OH/WV/PA tri-state area, and that keeps me really busy. Right now I shop for roughly 20 companies, but I'm applying like a mad women to 50 more. I really think I could be one of those who turns this into a more than decent living. I'm stoked about that.
I look forward to getting to know all of you. I've learned a lot just from lurking. Hopefully I'll have something to contribute to the group too.
Shopping the Ohio Valley and all around the tri-state area (Pittsburgh, PA; Parkersburg, WV and Columbus, OH.)
