This day was my second day of being a field
interviewer. I was placed under the supervision of Ms.Paz. My first impression
to her was super strict and professional. I also thought she was snobbish but I
was wrong. We met inside KFC, MRT Ayala at 9 am. I arrived exactly 9 but they came 1 hour
after. Haha that’s fine, I managed to took my breakfast first thou I didn't
like KFC that much.
We discuss a bit about the project details then
proceed to look for Glorietta’s administrative office. I met two field
interviewers of MRC which was Ate Marina and Ate Yolly. They are both bubbly
and industrious individuals. Upon checking the permit in the administrative
office of Ayala, we found out that the permit for our project was effective
tomorrow and not today so we have to proceed to Greenbelt instead. I was with
Ms.Paz and we are to position in Greenbelt 2. Greenbelt, I thought was an
up-class mall indeed. The Greenbelt 2 was pure restaurants so I had a hard time
gaining interviews. There were no benches and it’s not your typical mall.
Everyone has to go inside each restaurants and eat then go. They are all in a
hurry so it’s a big delay for them and a challenge for me to conduct this
ambush interview.
I approached everyone I thought might allow me
to borrow some of their precious time but it’s really tough to find one who is
willing to be surveyed. I got 10 refusals after I got my first completed
interview with a female adult belonging to upper class. She first asked me
about the validity of the survey and for the permit of the project. Off course
I had a permit on-hand to show her and explained the purpose of the study. I
buffer a bit while asking her because Ms.Paz was butting in. I understand why
she did that but I’m still not confident.
I was glad to have my second complete within an
hour from my first one. This time I’m much confident and familiar with the
questionnaire. It’s an awesome feeling to accomplished your task earlier than
expected.
