I was invited to do a mock research assignment. It was challenging and I knew I made some mistakes afterwards, by not following all the instructions exactly (did not use all references in my write up). I had trouble with the google forms when submitting my final response. I had to refresh the document multiple times and it was not clear whether or not the application was actually submitted (I did not receive a confirmation e-mail). I really enjoyed the interview tasks - despite making mistakes - and am unsettled by the status of the application...whether or not it was actually received by the company. It has been about two weeks without hearing anything back from Wonder - so I have no idea if they did not receive the application or if my responses were not sufficient :(

Technical Presentation

I answered some questions pretty well because they were focused on research, which I've done for a long time, so they were easy for me. There was also a part where I had to do research from scratch, to check my skills. The whole thing took me about 3 hours. I heard back with an acceptance after 7 days.

Technical Case

I saw the job posting online. They give you a trial assignment that you submit via their platform. Then you wait to hear if they approve your submission and offer you a contract role. The trial assignment could be on any topic, so it's hard to prepare specifically. However, if you've done market assessments or literature reviews before and have strong analytical skills, you should be fine. Just be careful with your writing and make sure you only draw conclusions based on the data provided. Good luck!

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you explain how to estimate the market size in dollars for yoga teachers, and can you provide a formula for this calculation, given the assignment involved a market assessment for yoga teachers that required understanding the question correctly?
