We are conducting in-home interviews where we will come to your home. This study will be filmed and is an application test. You will work with leaf blowers/vacs both bought and provided. Accordingly, appropriate work attire and, if necessary, personal protective equipment must be working. Should you qualify, we would ask that you do not dispose leaves in your yard/garden before the start of the interview. The interviews will last 90 minutes and you will be compensated $200 for you participation. We have 4 times slots for the 6 days we are conducting the interviews. (we will discuss which works best for you should you qualify) Dates are from Friday April 21st- Wednesday April 26th. Are you interested in participating?
