This part was about an hour.
The second round was a role play... I have to represent Euromonitor while interviewer represents customer (she represented Coca Cola). They gave me passport password so I can log on to learn and to see what passport (data base) can deliver to customers.
Two main objective: 1. to see how I approach customers 2. how to sell more products to customers (Coca cola is our existing customer but we need to expand their account)

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Euromonitor (Pequim, Pequim) in Sep 2011
Interview
RD1: briefly asked me " how do you know about the company""how do you know about this job". oh, the HR asked me whether i knew about the research methodology, the 4 P principles in marketing. The research methodology is all on its website. as a country research analyst, trade interviews.are the most important things to do. so HR will ask what character will you like to play if you want to access to the key source of information.
RD2: the questions just popped out without anytime to think carefully about. if you are given five weeks of time to do a research project, how will you schedule to do the 4 steps of research. if your project manager asks you to rank the current soft drinks companies in the market, how are you gonna collect data.did you ever hear of any other research companies etc. at last, HR asked me to persuade her to give her the offer of this.
