Maybe you worry about asking the 'wrong' questions, or don't know when is the right time to ask questions so you don't interrupt? So, you don't ask any questions at all.
But not asking questions in your marketing job interview is not an option if you really expect to be considered a top candidate.
Being impressive in your interview for a new marketing role comes down to which questions you choose to ask, as well as being strategic in the way you answer questions.
As a marketer, you're no doubt great at considering all the details when planning and executing your initiatives. You take time to deliver great quality work.
But do you invest this same time and focus when you're preparing for an interview for a job you really want?
You're likely applying for a new job because you know you're ready for one of the following...
🌟 To progress and take on more responsibility
🌟 To work in a new area of marketing and strengthen your skills
🌟 To be a marketer for a brilliant brand that you love
🌟 Or maybe it's just time to earn more money
You get excited when you're offered an interview for an AMAZING role
But then do you start to think...
💭 "I know I'm doing a great job in my current role, but I don't feel confident when I'm being interviewed by a leader for a new role"?
💭 "I want to sound experienced and like I know what I'm talking about, but I don't know which of my skills and experience to highlight"
💭 "I never know which questions they're going to ask me, and if I'll be able to think of answers on the spot"?
💭 "I don't know how to ask questions or which questions to ask...(so then I don't ask any)"?
💭 Or maybe, "...why do other candidates do a better job in interviews, when I'm just as great a marketer?!"?
If any of these thoughts are holding you back from truly shining in your job interviews, keep reading...
Isn't it worth a little bit of training time to really impress?
The next leader or next company isn't going to get to know how great a marketer you really are, if you don't tell them in the interview.
To achieve this, you need to make time to work out how to get your key strengths, experiences and business insights heard by the interviewer...even when they don't ask you the specific questions that let you tell them this in your answers.
That's when asking questions becomes SO important.
It's your chance to reveal more about your skills and how you think like a strategic marketer.
It's amazing what they can learn about you, just from the questions you choose to ask!
And it can make all the difference to what they think about your capabilities.
I'm sure you've heard you need to prepare for interviews? But to really be seen as the BEST candidate, you need to take your preparation up a level.
MEET MERAKI'S FOUNDER
In case we haven't met yet...
Hi! I'm Eve
I'm a former global corporate marketing Vice President, and the founder of Meraki Marketing Learning Studio, supporting early to mid-career marketers to get ahead in their careers.
During my time working for global retail destinations and international hotel brands in 7 countries (I'm originally from Australia), I've worked with and mentored coordinators to managers to directors, in many different areas of marketing, helping them to progress their careers.
"I've interviewed smart, experienced marketers in cities all over the world…and so often, they don't know how amazing they are!"
I developed the Showcase to Shine training because I often interviewed marketers who didn't realise what great skills and experience they had that they should have been highlighting to me. I found myself having to ask more questions to 'pull' this expertise out of them.
But not all leaders interviewing you will take the time to do this. And then you miss the chance to be seen for how good you really are.
I want you to know how to promote yourself in the best possible way so you make a STRONG IMPACT in your interview!
I'm sharing with you what a leader is looking to learn from you, so you know how to impress.

Still wondering if you need to do this course?
2 reasons why you do:
1) The reality is, other candidates are preparing for their interview for this SAME JOB
It would be such a missed opportunity if you know you have the right experience for this dream job, but you don't make the effort to prepare and work out how best to showcase what's most relevant about your skills and expertise through your questions and answers.
Don't make it easier for someone else to get the job over you.
2) Not all Interviewers are good at interviewing people!
You can't rely on the marketer interviewing you to ask questions that will make it easy for you to share your strengths and experience. You have to know how to take control in this situation so you can make sure you share all the reasons you are the best marketer for the job!
