I need help on how to get through a second interview at an Advertising Agency? |
I thought I didnt do a great job with my interview the first time but I was then called back for a second interview. I don't know what to expect but I will be interviewing with several other people and have the the Co-CEO of the company. This is a really huge agency so is there any tips that someone can help me with or possible questions they may ask me? Confidence. You tell them who you are and what you can do for them and make them eat it up. Fight for this job, sounds like a good one, so make yourself sound like no other. Stand out. Talk about everything good you have done for other companies or if not companies, people in general. "I helped out several of my neighbors with marketing strategies" or something of that sort (I am not in the marketing field). Always keep your cool when it comes to their questions. if they ask things that you do not know the answer to, simply breeze by it, "You know it is interesting that you bring that up..." then change the subject. But always remeber to be confident, and make yourself stand out. good luck! Be honest. Work out in advance answers to the questions, why do you want to work in this industry? What can you bring to the table? Why should I hire you? No matter what happens, stay calm. If you don't understand a question, say so. When the interviewer asks "do you have any questions for me?" have something prepared, something valid, not smoke. That means doing some research on the company. Finally. as the interview is winding down, ASK FOR THE JOB! You don't say why you think you didn't do good. If it has to do with being nervous, some interviewers understand that, so all all is not lost. I would advise you to research the company. It would be great that you know about their big advertising campaigns for key customers, the company's history, what they are mostly known for, etc. Their web site might have lots of this info. It is too bad when someone goes to an interview and knows nothing about the company for whom they intend to work. Also even if you are not going to work directly with the planning of advertising or marketing in the firm, you should at least read information regarding the basics of this discipline. I interview people for my firm, and I would at least want to know what is your interest in applying for a position in my company (and this cannot be just the paycheck), the skills you have for the position itself, and what you know about whatever it is my company does (manufacturing, modeling, selling, etc.). I would feel confident with a candidate that is covered in those areas. When you have this type of info with you, you can make informed comments and intelligent questions during your conversation with the interviewer, you will be less nervous, and you will leave a first impression that will make you a strong candidate for the position. |
