What questions will be asked at my job interview?

What kind of interview questions will be asked for a Marketing/Communications job?

  • I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Marketing and Communications. I am going in for an interview soon with two companies and I want to know what sort of questions they ...show more

  • Answer:

    In my experience, you won't be quizzed on terms or theories. Your interviewer will be more interested in experience - class projects, extracurricular activities, jobs you've held (even if they don't relate to the position you are interviewing for, it still can show your strong work ethic, reliability and people skills). Do you have a portfolio of your work? It can be things you did for class, but if you have press releases, brochures, articles, any graphic design projects, business plans, etc that you did for class, definitely bring those in to share. Be sure to print up nice color copies, and bring enough to leave with them. You want to highlight experiences that will directly relate to the job - coming up with creative ideas and seeing them through, managing projects, working on teams. So definitely start thinking about those experiences and how they will apply to the job you are interviewing for. Even if all your experiences are in a classroom setting, it can still apply. Also, think of good answers to the "tricky" questions, such as "what is your weakness" (good answer: "I focus on the details too much," "I take on too many projects at once," not "I'm not a good writer"). Good luck!

When it comes to questions for new graduates, here are some good examples: What extracurricular activities were you involved in? What activities did you enjoy the most? What classes did you enjoy the most? The least? Why did you choose your major? Why did you change majors? If you could start again, what major would you choose? Why are you applying for a job in a field other than your major? What did you learn from your summer jobs? In what courses did you get the worst grades? Why? Are your grades a good measure of your ability? Give me an example of a problem you've had at school and how you solved it. How does your degree prepare you (a) for a career in [industry] or (b) to excel as a [job title]? What qualifications do you have beyond academics that qualify you to make a successful transition into business? Overall, they'll likely ask questions about your career path, your personal goals, and what you think you can offer their company, if hired. Good luck on your interviews!

it will be a 'personality' interview: > what are your strengths > what are your weakness > how do you handle conflict > what is your time management style > are you individual worker or team player > what makes you the best candidate for this position > tell us an example when you .... and here can follow range of questions covering everything like relations with customers, friends and family, authorities, boss, etc. In your case (recent graduate) they may ask some professional questions but i will be surprised if they are very specific. Like, they can ask what courses have you taken, which one was your favorite and why, what artistic talents you have ... if they ask 4P's or how to make pest analysis, i think they will give you a piece of paper and you have to be ready in an hour or so .. but this is very unlikely. Good Luck.
