frequently asked questions
You may ask...
1. Is this job open to part-time working students?
This is a full-time position tailored to final year students, recent graduates, or young professionals with a few years of working experience.
If you are a part-time working student, you are still eligible to apply but please bear in mind that you need to arrange your time properly to be available during business hours.
2. What if my major is irrelevant to the job requirements?
We welcome applicants from any business-related majors in general, because we really think that your college major doesn't matter that much, as long as you are indeed passionate and interested in market research.
3. How many rounds in total do I need to pass to get the job?
The first round that you’ll need to pass is common for whichever job you apply, which is the resume and cover letter, so we will screen applicants first through this process.
After that, you will have to do an online test, which will test how much you are actually suitable for market research (logic, math, essay, etc...)
Finally, there will be two rounds of interviews with your future peers and our co-founders. In total, there are four rounds.
4. Is this job located in Ho Chi Minh city? Can a person outside of Ho Chi Minh city apply to work?
The answer is yes. Decision Lab’s office is located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. We have always welcomed talents from across Vietnam and overseas. In fact, more than half of your future colleagues are from places like Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Copenhagen, New Delhi, Manila, just to name a few.
5. How will the test be conducted, especially for those who live outside Ho Chi Minh City?
After receiving your application, if qualified, we will invite you to take an online assessment to evaluate your logical thinking and writing skills. If successfully passed the online test, you would be invited to the second round of face-to-face interviews with Decision Lab's consultants and co-founders.
For candidates who live outside Ho Chi Minh City, we'll conduct the online interviews via Skype, which we have done successfully in the past.
6. What is the maximum number of accepted candidates this time?
We are looking for an ideal number of 5 exceptional candidates on this intake. However, it's the quality of the candidates that drives the success of the recruitment, not the number. We rarely compromise on this matter.
7. I had some working experience in a different field, now I want to change my career path. Will I be qualified for the job?
Regardless of your past experiences, we believe that your attitude toward the challenges and the ability to learn are the ingredients for success.
8. If I do not meet your requirements, can I still apply?
We encourage you to still apply. We welcome applicants from various backgrounds with interest and the willingness to learn about market research.
9. What is the format of 1st and 2nd interviews?
Peer-to-peer interview:
You will have a small chat with 1-2 members of the Decision Lab team. This informal conversation aims to help us find out more about you and your personality to see if you are right for us. It also works both ways: it is a chance for you to assess if we are the right company for you. Once we notify you the outcome of the interview, you can proceed into the final interview.
Final interview:
You will have an interview with one of our cofounders/directors (Thue or Aske) and one member of the Decision Lab team. The interview consists of 3 parts: case study analysis, case study presentation, and a face-to-face interview. It aims to assess your analytical competency, presentation skills and your attitude to see if you and Decision Lab are truly a perfect match.
10. What is YouGov and what part does it play in the Decision Lab's recruitment?
YouGov Vietnam is an independent partner of YouGov Plc, an international research data and analytics group headquartered in London. Starting in 2020, YouGov Vietnam is operated by Decision Lab. This partnership combines YouGov's global expertise with Decision Lab's local insight; bringing innovative platforms to brands in Vietnam and offering unrivalled access to the latest data on consumer trends. After successfully completing the bootcamp program, incoming Associates will be allocated to suitable teams, including YouGov team.
