It’s time for the next instalment of our interview questions series and this week we are focusing in on marketing and the interview questions that goes along with that.

When you go and sit an interview for a marketing job the interview is not just looking to see how qualified you are, they are also trying to bring out your personality – to get an idea about you as a person.  Why?

Working in Marketing means that it’s your job to help build brand awareness and help display the company culture and personality, all to help boost their reputation and make them a desirable employer.  Naturally they will want someone who can fit well with them and help them with these tasks. – What to take from that? – Be Yourself.

Of course being yourself is not something you can practise – you know more about you than anyone. What you may need to run through before the interview is some marketing related interview questions – which is why we are really here today.
