Zanotee:It's a subtle name for marketing. You must understand the company's profile, her target audience, strategies to driving decrement, what products or new products are there for you to understand and how would you explain it if asked, what strategies would you adopt to achieve your day-to-day target? Have you taken any role in the past on sales? If yes, how did you make the difference? These and more are likely to come at you. 1 Like 1 Share |

cucumbae: There is something important people should know about interviews... Firstly, the list by the OP will put you in a pretty good position to landing a job but it is not a guarantee, there might be others who performed better than you did. Secondly, most organizations advertise and post jobs for "the sake of doing". They already have an internal candidate to fill that role. So no matter how you perform, you will not get the role. And finally, a recruiter might just like something about a particular candidate for some unusual reason. The candidate might not be the best but is the most liked by the recruiting manager. I have been guilty of the latter. During an interview where I was the recruiting manager, I picked a candidate because she said she has been trying to enter an International NGO for years and couldn't that's why she traveled for almost 600 km to attend the interview. This somehow reminded me of my struggle years back, hence, she got the job even though she wasn't the best. 3 Likes |

Get interview coaching if truly you value the job you are being interviewed for. Find JarusHub and thank we later. You can google the name if you are wondering. |

greygoblings: Wow! Anyway, I don't agree with you that most advertisers already have an 'internal candidate' to fill a position. Say a few, but never most. I'm not surprised you gave the job to the lady though. I guess she was good enough for the job. 1 Like |

PatrickOkunima:I'll like to ask something. Let's say you went for an interview with about three other people and each took about 30 minutes. During your turn, the interview went very well, the interviewers were happy and they really enjoyed the conversation but yours lasted only ten minutes instead of thirty; is it a bad sign? |

Darkseid: Actually, it can be a bad or a good sign. When interviewers are quick to let you go, then, it might mean they have already selected their candidate or you were not interesting. On the other hand, it can also mean before you were invited in, they have already selected you as their candidate and felt no need to ask much based on your Resume or cover letter. But the earlier most often holds sway. 1 Like |
