It is important to build your interview skills in order to obtain any job you desire. However, there are a few things you can do to prepare for an interview for a marketing career.
Research:
Research the company you are applying to. Get to know the brand and apply it to your own life. Marketing companies need to see that you know their brand and can apply it to your work. Find the target audience and make sure you're up to date on any recent news evolving the company.
Be Creative:
To be a marketer you have to be creative. It is essential that you think outside of the box (Ribot, 2010). Tell the interviewer how you have been creative in the past and how that effected the results.
Know Social Media:
Find the company you're applying for on social media. Look at how they use social media and think of a few ideas to improve their use of the media (Sim, 2012). Sharing your ideas with the company will show you have done your homework. As well, always remember to keep your social media profiles work appropriate.
As always, it is important to dress professional and have a revised resume ready when entering an interview. When applying for a marketing career it is necessary to also use these three tips in order to have a successful interview.

I like this post because the topic is something that we all have to face and which makes people automatically drawn in. However, there are no visuals which can make it hard to want to read even though its not that text heavy.
