I love dogs-

EJ does not "take" the information from survey and "use" it. It is simply an exercise for a interviewee to understand what they will be doing once they start. I just finished my surveys a few weeks ago. I would say it is a great idea. It gave me a pretty good picture of what my life is going to be for the forseeable future. EJ was not interested in the survey results in themselves. They wanted to see that I could knock on doors and have conversations, and ask questions to people.

Maybe EDJ should just go straight for the Morman's.  They have great door-knocking experience, and are used to having the door slammed in their face.

... Oh crap, did I just say that?... 

Sorry, I was just thinking aloud.
