FAQ - You may ask...
1. Are these jobs open to part-time professionals/students?
These are full-time positions tailored to final-year students, recent graduates, or professionals. 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. We do not accept part-time workers for senior-level roles.
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 will be four rounds.
4. Are these positions 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 tests be conducted, especially for those who live outside Ho Chi Minh City?
After receiving your application, if you are qualified, we will invite you to take an online assessment to evaluate your logical thinking and writing skills. If you successfully pass the online test, you would be invited to the second round of face-to-face interviews with Decision Lab's consultants and co-founders.
6. How many candidates are going to be accepted this time?
We are looking for multiple 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 another field, now I want to change my career path - will I be qualified for the job?
Regardless of your past experience, we believe that your attitude toward challenges and ability to learn are the key 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 willingness to learn about market research.
9. What are the formats of the 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 of the outcome of the interview, you can proceed to the final interview.
Final interview: You will have an interview with our CEO, Mr. Thue Thomasen, and one of our directors. The interview consists of 3 parts: a case study analysis, a 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.
