Task Sheet 9

A: What's important when attending an interview?

Appearance is very important to an applicant when he or she attends an interview.

If you are an applicant remember two important things: first dress smart. Don't underestimate the power of your professional appearance. This is the first time the interviewer will see you and, like it or not, what you wear could affect your chances of proceeding to the next round of interviews.

Second, make the best first impression. The interview begins as soon as you arrive at the company. Keep in mind that you may be evaluated just as much in the waiting area as in the interview itself. Make sure you are friendly to the receptionist, office assistant, or anyone else who may greet you before and after the interview. Usually executives will consider their administrative assistant's opinion of job candidates an important part of the selection process for positions at all levels. If you are discourteous to a receptionist or anyone else at the company, it will negatively impact your chances of getting the job.

B: what's important when planning market research?

I think we should first work out the appropriate types of questions when we plan market research. For example, one of the ways of carrying out market research is to send questionnaires through the post to a variety of people we think might be interested in our product or service. Distance is no problem because there is a standard postal charge, and the people receiving the questionnaire can take their time to answer it.

Personal interviews are an alternative method of conducting market research. These can be carefully designed so that set procedures are carried out. The interviewer approaches a person in the street, or in their home or office, and asks a series of set questions. The answers to the questions are carefully recorded.
