Get paid to secret shop this holiday  Disguises voluntary.
Wouldn’t holiday shopping be a lot less gruesome if someone were
paying you to do it? Before you apply to be the personal lip
gloss shopper for the Kardashians, try this out: Consumer
Reports is looking for secret shoppers throughout New York state
to make undercover purchases for the magazine, and get paid $12
an hour to do it. It’s like being a spy, but instead of
Russians, you’re hunting shady consumer quality! You could end
up working between 10-30 hours a month so this won’t be a full-
time job, but it could be some sweet supplemental income that
gives you an excuse to go to the mall. To apply, you have to
submit a list of the major retailers within 20 miles of you,
three product trends you’ve noticed while shopping and a
paragraph of 250 words on why you would make a great mystery
shopper, among other things. Check Consumerist for the full
details.
