Tell the interviewer your favourite activity

     Well, my favourite hobby is shopping! Now I know you must be thinking this is not really a hobby but to me it is. I mean, it's interesting and it takes skills to do it well. So I'm going to tell you how to shop properly. To begin, you need time. You may need some money or you may not, depending on what your intention is. You need to be able to understand the retail profession, and understand that not everything that seems like good quality is good quality. Price may give you some clue, but the key to shopping is getting something of high quality at a low price. First, I always try to go to shops where the business is not too good. It must be a place where the store is good and they carry good products, but perhaps it's just not in a popular location, or perhaps they have some problems with advertising. Its good to find a store that is in a reasonably competitive area, so they know you can just walk to the next store if you have to. Small stores are usually a bit cheaper and you can usually bargain. You need to be a bit of an actor when you shop and just check out the prices of many different types. You also need to be nice to the sales staff, because they often deal with so many pushy and rude people that they feel more generous when they come across a more polite person. You also need to show them that you know about the product and ask a few questions about the features. You want to tell them that there are products that have more features or are superior, but you are willing to consider this one if the price is right. That way you are putting the pressure on them.

     To get better at this you have to do a lot of it and try different strategies. You need to be yourself and not take anything personally. After all, it's always possible to get a better deal somewhere else, but if you manage to get a reasonable deal, then you can feel satisfied that you've achieved something. Don't act arrogantly just because you are the customer. People are human and they may want your money, but not at the expense of their face or pride.

    I think it's a good skill to learn because in life you have to learn to do business and still keep good relations with others, so it's important to do shopping well. Also you can obviously save a lot of money.
