Job Overview

A Day in the Life of an Ipsos Field Market Research Interviewer

Imagine it: It’s Wednesday afternoon. You’ve enjoyed your day, and now it’s time for your shift as a Field Market Research Interviewer! You’re heading out for a scheduled 6-hour shift (starting around 1 or 2pm), one of three you’ve pre-booked for the week, consisting of weekdays and weekends between the hours of 9am and 8pm.

You hop in your car – you’ll need that, business insurance and a valid driver’s licence for this job – and head to a neighbourhood nearby. Your mission? Chatting with people about their opinions and experiences – right at their doorstep! You’ll be going door-to-door, inviting people to participate in surveys. Don’t worry; we provide all the training you need to feel confident approaching people, even if they weren’t expecting a visit. And to make things easier, we offer mileage reimbursement for your travels.

You’ll use a company-provided tablet to record their answers, so no need to worry about paperwork. And the best part? You’re making a real difference! The information you gather helps businesses and organisations make decisions that impact your community.
