<div class="i1">Interviewee: "Store of iron bars"; Interviewer: "Do you sell iron bars?"; Interviewee: "Yes, I do"<br />Interviewee: "Bakery"; Interviewer: "Do you bake bread?"; Interviewee: "Yes, I do"</div><p>When the answer is very general so it does not allow you to identify the specific activity of the company, business, or workplace, request more detailed information; for example:</p>
<div class="i1">Interviewee: "I do repairs"; Interviewer: "What type of repairs?"; Interviewee: "I repair computers"<br />Interviewee: "I make furniture"; Interviewer: "What type of furniture?"; Interviewee: "I make wood furniture"</div>
