I watched this video before my first interview with a company. Got called for a second interview today, watched it again and just got an email with an employment offer. Thank you for this, Elif. You’ve gained a lifelong supporter ❤️

[RichardWalls]

Great video, Elif! Agreed with your points. To add, although not specific to marketing, I think a key to any interview is to approach it like a conversation where you (the interviewee) are trying to understand the needs of the company and what value you might be able to provide to help them reach their goals. Similarly, the interviewer has a business need and they're simply trying to find someone that can help them fill that need.

I would like to thank you a lot! I've applied on an internship in big SEO company in my country and also thanks to your advices I've got it! <3

It’s been really hard to get a job in marketing. I just graduated and am working for a small company doing their marketing. They won’t give me a marketing title so I decided to look for another place that I can use my marketing skills. It’s been 5 months and I am struggling. I am regretting getting in so much debt for a degree I can’t even use. I want to stay in the marketing field but it’s just so competitive. I have an interview this Friday and am so excited but my last interview I went to I felt so good about and I didn’t get it so I didn’t want to screw this one up. This video has really helped me out. Thank you so much

Helpful tips! I'm a recent graduate looking to get my foot in the door with marketing - thank you for always going straight to the point in your informative videos. (I do agree with the previous comment that adding examples would be nice too)

[m.rajeshkumar]

Need a video about marketing audit. Like what u exactly explained finding the process they're (the company) doing, how to analyze it. So that we can curate an compeling audit .

And about those general interview question how a fresher straight out of graduation can say

[jasminesandoval]

SO helpful thank you so much, I have my marketing internship remote interview on Monday! I’ll definitely come back and let you know how it went.

This year my and my family moved to Switzerland. Right now I’m in I’ 8 grade and we have to do a trial apprenticeship wich I have never done before😅 I have picked Marketing because it seams interesting to me and it was the first thing that I have thought of when y teacher asked me what I want to do when I grow up.I also wave to call and write a email to a Firma where I want to do the trial apprenticeship but I don’t know german well so it’s going to be a little hard but this video has helped me a lot and it has also prepared me a little and I know what’s going to be happened because I’m lost 😂 Thank you very much 😊❤

[veggielover]

This is a great video. I have been finding that I am getting stuck with the recruiter who doesn't really understand marketing and throws out buzzwords of something when I just discussed the very thing they asked about. It creates awkward scenarios.

What other questions have you been asked in marketing job interviews? ⬇️

[juliusferueloferranco]

Thank you so much for this video, even though I'm still a marketing student I want to prepare myself for my job interview someday. This is a really good content 💯

[yutsiyutischi]

'Find out your WHY' very important. This is what Simon keeps telling, as well.

This is an incredible video! Was feeling stressed about my future as I am about to graduate college and you gave me so much confidence and insight. Thank you so much for your expertise :)

[Pdpfire]

I was hoping for more examples of each section like you mentioned for strength and weaknesses, specially for interview questions and failure and success.
