Mum's view

Name: Clare
Location: Leicester
Family: Milly (9)

How often do you work?
It all depends on how often I get assignments. Sometimes I can go a month without getting any to do and then suddenly 3 will come in the same week - its really unpredictable.

How does the job fit around your family life?
Its good, I can do my assignments when Milly is at School normally. Sometimes I do them at weekends and then she comes with me.

How much time do you commit?
Each job usually takes me about half an hour to do, then I have to fill out my report and phone my results through.

Where do you carry out your work?
Wherever the assignment is! It can be at Petrol Stations, Restaurants, Shops anywhere really!

Do you need a car?
I've got one and I don't think I could do this without one. I imagine if you live a bit closer to a big town it would be easier.

How did you hear about the job?
My Dad used to be a Mystery Shopper!

Do you get support/training?
Not really.

Are there any downsides to the role?
Only that its a bit erratic in terms of getting jobs, so you can't really rely on getting the money regularly.

Would you recommend this opportunity to other Mums?
Yes. Its really good if you live near a big town/City as that is where most of the jobs are. Its also really easy and quick to apply, so its not a big hassle. You just go onto the website, fill out a Panellist Application form, read and see if you agree to the terms and conditions and apply.
