Research for Documentary

Dairy Farm

We had an interview at a Dairy farm, however one of our team members ended up at the wrong place for the practice interview. We had to reschedule and send an apology letter to the farm. Unfortunately, we didn't get another chance to do the interview, so we organised an interview with a Milk depot instead. 

We learnt from this encounter, to organize the trip more, so everyone knows where each team member will be and to improve our communication skills.
