What type of customer? What type of qual? What’s the ultimate objective of the research? Besides the contextual questions related to the above answers, I like to pepper in things like “describe the perfect Saturday” or “tell me about a really happy memory (eating this product, being in the space, etc. as per your context)?” I find these kind of questions make the whole thing feel less research-y for the respondent (which is important so they open up) and also gives me insight into what makes them happy... sometimes there are patterns and again, depending on my objective, this can be invaluable.

Hello,
So giving my scenario and asking to you where is my fault in this.
First the company came to our campus giving the JD for Marketing.
While withing the first round of interview they changed it to SAP domain.
I got recruited as I was a fresher.
Then once I got my offer letter they have alloted me to Oracle.
I thought all of my batchmate are going to functional side, I will be with them.
Then they send me to Technical Oracle domain., which comprises of coding and all.

Hi guys,
I want to inform you all that with your help I was able to clear the Hirevue round of Deloitte New Grad position 2023 and now just final interview remains. Thank you guys, you made it possible.
The role is technical strategy which I guess comes under SAP so the SAP team will be taking the interview for Toronto location.
The interview will have 30 minutes behavioural interview questions and 30 minutes case study.

I’m looking for tips now guys. I really want to clear it. Please guys.
