Where a market research interviewer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a market research interviewer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Market research interviewers strive to collect information on the perceptions, opinions, and preferences of customers in relation to commercial products or services. They use interview techniques to draw as much information as possible by contacting people via telephone calls, by approaching them face-to-face or by by virtual means. They pass this information to experts for drawing analysis.
