Rare Fieldwork Project
Rare Fieldwork Project
Inview had one more rare fieldwork project I did in 2017. Inview needed fieldworkers to survey at a Workwear fair. This project was a nice one, meaning I would travel to Düsseldorf, Germany. Better than surveying people in jail, read the blog Surveying 1 Question In Jail With VOG. All the fieldwork I did for Inview I did as a zzp'er (entrepreneur).
The Workwear Fair In Düsseldorf Germany

The Workwear fair was a very big fair. The Jaarbeurs in Utrecht and The RAI in Amsterdam could fit together in the fair location in Düsseldorf. It was very big. I wander one time through the whole fair and came across lots of different styles of workwear. It was actually very interesting, it took hours and I got inspiration for my own weather workwear.

Of all the visitors entering the Workwear fair the fieldworkers had to spot the visitors of the client and survey them. The visitors of the client of Inview could have breakfast or coffee all day during the Workwear fair. The fieldworkers' task was to question the customer's visitors about their visit to the Workwear fair. After participating, visitors of the fair received a voucher or were taken to the client's exhibition stand by one of the fieldworkers for coffee or breakfast.

Although I did not speak German I was asked to go to the Workwear fair in Düsseldorf, Germany. The fieldwork would be in Dutch, German and English. My other three colleague fieldworkers spoke German and some preferred not to interview in English. All the English speakers were therefor directed to me to be surveyed and of course I directed all the German speaking ones to them. The Dutch ones all of us could interview.
Full Week Workwear Fair In Düsseldorf, Germany

The Workwear fair lasted a working week. The surveys were conducted on all the fair days, but not all of the 4 fieldworkers were needed all the days, because not all the days were busy days for the fair. I joined my fellow fieldworkers later during the week and worked on the last day. An apartment was arranged for the fieldworkers. On the last day, when there were only two fieldworkers left, a hotel was booked with each fieldworker having their own hotelroom. In addition to being paid for this gig, food money and travel money were also arranged individually. My work and budgets were all paid through my invoice as an entrepreneur.
