         Indianapolis is a large city with tons of opportunities for those interested in Merchandising and Mystery jobs. Imagine getting paid to walk around the grocery store in your neighborhood, and getting paid to do it. Or consider going to see a movie, and get paid to document how large the audience was. Sounds like a great gig, huh?

Did you know that Merchandising is the hidden job market? This industry works to keep consumers purchasing products from retailers. They record information on displays to entice more sales and report the data. People who are merchandising are the ones that when you ask for help in a store their response is “I don’t work for (name of the store)”.

DO NOT GET SCAMMED

There are tons of scams in this retailing industry. Here is an important pointer to avoid it.

Do not pay for a list of companies-
  • The information is already out there for free. Look at reputable places like Pat Henry,  NARMS.com (National Association for Retail Market Services) or the very popular Volition.com forum that provides tons of information on both Merchandising and Mystery Shopping jobs.

What Skills Do I Need ?

People that are computer literate and have an internet connection are qualified to work in this field. The physical ability to stand on feet, stoop and bend are required. Basic counting and multiplication skills are also needed.

An example of merchandise positions:
  •  Auditor – Records quantity of specific products

  • Product Demonstrator- Demonstrate and allow sampling of products

  • Installers- Set-up or re-arrange new displays
  •  Seat counter – Counting of chairs in a theatrical release

Indianapolis Seasonal Employment Secrets

I recently wrote an article about why to look for seasonal or holiday work. Do you think it is just for college kids? Everyone can benefit from openings at this festive time of year. Below is a list of 3 areas to find seasonal employment.

List of 3 Indianapolis Places to Find Work


·        Retail- Job prospects include cashiers, the sales floor and overnight stocking positions. Every store from Toys R Us and Target to Walmart and Dollar Tree need workers for the increase of shoppers.

·        Delivery/Logistics – The increase of packages sent and delivered equates to hiring more people to ensure the task is completed. The United Parcel Service (UPS), Federal Express (Fed Ex) and the U.S. Postal Service all hire seasonal workers during their peak season. Positions include clerks, package handlers, drivers and drivers’ assistants.

·        Work from Home- The under the radar at home job market employs holiday workers, as well. Customer Service Representatives at home work assignments at large companies like West At Home (http://www.westathome.com/) that employ for ShopNBC and Toys R Us. Another business that employs work from home workers for the holidays is Meijer stores (toll free number (800) 619-0111).



I hope this helps !
