Dear professor,
Thank you for your meeting with us today and giving us feedback and suggestions! Here is the summary of our meeting today.

Findings of meeting with PFG
Lanyi & Malik: 
Truck driver jobs in PFG requires more but salaries are similar to other jobs
Social media campaign for PFG (attracting applicants)
End time unpredictable 
Federal government does not know what it is doing 
Come to know the industry doing the pandemic
Conception that this work is dangerous during pandemic
Unemployment check is preferred by some families 
Hopefully all the information will be given by the end of this week (Data-wise)
Automation is thought to be hard to implement for the industry (Future envision)

Professor Junker:
 Causal analysis on social media campaign
Pay a fixed amount or pay hourly?
Imagine how long you want to spend on each question
Save opinions for other time during the interview to save time
“For the sake of time, the meeting is going to be mainly question and answer rather than dialogue-like” in the beginning of the interview
Yanxi:
Salaries are close to no-touch freight jobs that other companies have
Malik:
Try summarize and comment on the response to facilitate transition
Refer to videos on-line to ask questions
50% drivers promoted internally
Update on the rotation of roles
We will have weekly rotations of roles of facilitator and scriber.
No major changes for the interview questions
TODO list for this week
1.Other four interview sessions with our clients
2.Explore BLS and O*Net and prepare for the interview:
Junker:
Low expectation on finding the appropriate data and be patient in the process
Government may categorize data differently from the industry 
One way is to find distribution first, then go on to food distribution
Happy to find a time to look at the website together
Malik:
Match public data to client data 
Echo:
Background research
Junker:
Looking at sources in the references to see what’s been done before
Either as a reference or use as a contrast 
Data used, how they processed it etc
Warehouse visit suggestion
Junker: 
Good idea but need to account for health and pandemic situation
