Tips From a Survey Creator – dscout Review

People who are complaining about not getting picked to do a survey after filling out tons of applications - I’m hoping to provide some perspective for you. I’m using these surveys and clips for video insights that are often times shared with the clients I’m working for - therefore - I want the background of your videos to be clear, I don’t want you videoing from bed, with no shirt on, from a car (unless that’s part of where I’m asking you to do for the video). If you’re in a bathrobe and whispering to not wake the family - I won’t use you. Someone who is really descriptive in their videos, who is speaking clearly and easy to understand, and is providing responses beyond one sentence answers - is more likely to be picked by me/my team. And watch out for the: uhs, ums, and likes. If you’re shirtless and stuffing your face with chips while your videoing - I won’t use you. We love using this tool - but what the Scouts need to understand is that the more put together you are the better chance you have to get selected. It’s an easy tool to use, and so I understand people trying to fit in the applications during their free time, but the survey creator is paying for great video blogs. I’ve chose a few scouts for several repeated missions - because they always give me exactly what I’m asking for and are willing to put in the effort required. Think of it this way - I need to sift through hundreds of responses - if I have someone who is clearly communicating and catching my eye vs someone who is mumbling and is in a dimly lit room, I’m going to chose the former. Hopefully this a) helps those who aren’t getting picked to understand why and b) help give perspective on what’s useful and what is not! Note to dscout - would be great if the Scouts saw the ratings we are able to apply to applications. That way, if I dismiss a Scout for unclear or inappropriate video, they receive that feedback.
