Goldsmiths’ Fair Emerging Business Bursary:
Industry Panel Pre-Session Questionnaire Guidance
1. What does the pre-questionnaire process involve?
When you are allocated a session with the Industry Panel, you will see a link to the online questionnaire in the course page in Moodle.
We use Jotform to conduct the pre-session questionnaire, which can be accessed via any standard web browser on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
You will need to complete the questionnaire no later than 2 weeks before the Industry Panel session you are scheduled to attend. This will allow the Industry Panel time to review your responses and prepare for the session.
You will receive a copy of your questionnaire responses within 10 working days after your Industry Panel session takes place.
2. What is the purpose of the questionnaire and how long will it take to complete?
The questionnaire has two main aims:
Firstly, to help you consider and reflect on key aspects of your business and readiness for Goldsmiths’ Fair ahead of the Industry Panel session - this will help you focus on what you want out of it.
Secondly, to provide the panel members with information about your business and practice, and what you want out of the session - this will help them to prepare, so that the time you have with them is as productive as possible.
To achieve these aims the questionnaire covers a wide range of topics and is likely to take around 30 minutes to complete. However, we recommend spending more time considering your responses before you start the questionnaire, and this guidance will help you to do that.
We encourage you to be frank and honest with yourself about your strengths, weaknesses and needs, as this is an important part of your personal development as a business owner and Goldsmiths’ Fair exhibitor. The questionnaire is not a test, and there are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers – the panel is here to help you.
