QUESTION 8 OF 39

We consider research to be the backbone of what we do at Expedia. Do you think it's important to conduct research before beginning a project, or would you rather jump right in?

Talk to the interviewer about your work habits and how you prefer to approach a new project. If you know how Expedia prefers to approach its work, you should discuss that method. For instance, if the interviewer tells you that they prefer extensive research before beginning a project, that is your queue to talk about your excellent research skills.

"I agree that research is the backbone of a strong project. Without it, you can miss important details and waste time. I like to research before starting a project so that I can lay out a plan and understand the potential hurdles as well."

"Although there are some instances where jumping right in may be required, I prefer to research before I begin a project. Rest assured, I would always follow your preferred methods, should I be hired."

Research helps improve the success rate of any project. Research allows us to develop a plan, timeline and troubleshoot some potential hurdles before even starting something new.
