and where can i apply? :D

i keep thinking corporate spy - but hired by a business to spy on itself - ie check up on staff etc, rather than another company


sort of like ethical hacking, but instead you go into a pub to see if you can con the staff, or circumvent precedures etc
or to covertly monitor staff
or to get an honest opinion of the business


anyway, i just thought it would be a cool job to have - like in the movie Sneakers where a team are "ethically socially engineering" a bank to test for security weak spots...

It's called secret shopping. Secret Shopper

But it might be a scam, too. Snopes

nah this wasnt a scam, i saw this advertised in my local joab shop a while back

i wasnt asked to buy anything or pay any fees - the thing that put me off was that i would only be paid in vouchers from the places i was to secret shop at.


but i thought maybe there was a more "high end" version than just retail - picture Ash Morgan from Hu$tle :D
