Me watching this 2h before an interview
Tell us how it went!
Me watching literally an hour before haha!
13 mins 😅😅 yikea
@@coolcatable good luck
Same😂
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 ❤️
Wow, I am so happy for you, Anjelique!! Congratulations 🍾🎊🎈
@ Thank you! And thank you for the hard work and effort you put into creating valuable content.
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.
100% agreed. It's so true and I always try to approach it this way - it's also a habit I gained from working with clients during my agency days.
Thanks for adding this.
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
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!
This is amazing, thank you for sharing Alicja! Best of luck in your new role!
This is pure gold 👑
She gives relevant content at the same time and points out key factors to be considered about with useful examples.
In the meantime points to her own videos which are connected to the actual content to help out and extend the seekers knowledge and generate more traffic for her older videos to get back on track with the algorythm and quality rating. ✅
Win-Win scenario with being a +1.
Well done lady.
This is amazing! Thank you so much for the advice

Very glad to hear that!
'Find out your WHY' very important. This is what Simon keeps telling, as well.
6:15
Always have a why to what you do. Simon is 💯 right!
Thank you for the great information and the great quality of your video and information. You are very easy to follow and I love the stalking technique that's what sets a different standard . I look forward to more of your videos thank you 💙
Thank you Courtney, I appreciate this feedback so much!
Thanks so much for this, Elif! I am very likely to have an interview tomorrow with a hiring manager. I'm using your video to create my interview prep guide!
Yess!! Great timing then! You got this!! 🌟
thank you for this video for real!!
You are very welcome! Good luck on your interviews!
Great
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.
The first interviews with the recruiter can feel awkward at times because you are likely using marketing terminology because you want to show off your experience and they are using it from a script (in a way) because they want to hire the right person. I think we should cut them some slack, all they want to do is make a great hire for the marketing team. :)
Take control of your job search: create a job hunt plan, build your professional profile and have an interview strategy.

Wonderful!! Congrats!
Currently have an internship interview tomorrow and I’m very nervous for it. I’m trying to prepare answers to possible questions for the interview. Thank you for your content !!!
You can do it! Good luck!
Thanks elif for the wonderful video, it’s super useful and practical! I will be having a interview for a marketing role tmr and this video just in time for me to structure my thought and answers to the question! Hope that I can ace the interview with your tips! Thanks
How did it go?? :)
I was hoping for more examples of each section like you mentioned for strength and weaknesses, specially for interview questions and failure and success.
I tried to give examples briefly but didn't want to make the video an hour long. I do get your point though!
Maybe in other content I'll elaborate. Thanks for watching!
This is so helpful thank you 🙏🏾
That’s great to hear!
You are a LIFE saver! 😭😭😭
❤️❤️❤️
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 😊❤
Wow you’re in 8th grade and already so far ahead on your learning journey! Wishing you all the best in your new country and journey ❤️
Hi Elif, loved the video !! I was wondering if you could do a video on marketing internship. I'm majoring in marketing but sadly in all the internship they ask us to make sales or some other MLM thing. It would be great help, thank you!
Good suggestion - adding to the content list. I'm actually working in a project within the marketing internship program at university here - so I'll likely make this video within the next few months when I'll have more things to share.
Thank you so much for this video, I got the job!
YESSS!! Congrats!! 🥳🥳🥳
Hey Elio, thank you for your awesome content, I’ve been learning so much from your videos!
Do you think you would be able to make a video talking about different “Digital Marketing Assignments” that were given to you for a job interview? I was recently given one, I did well, however, I’d like to keep practicing these things for future interviews, but I don’t know how to practice it, or what to practice.
Good topic, will think about it for sure. What was the latest one you got?
You are awesome for this! Thank you! I just got my first call for an interview so I'm studying up. :D
Beat of luck!!
I had an interview for a marketing position 2 days ago and I was literally asked all these questions. I wish I couldve seen this vid earlier. Tomorrow I have a round two interview with another hiring manager. Any idea what else they might ask on round 2?
Great energy in your video.
Thank you 😊
I’m going to my interview in the next 3 days and I wanna come with the results here and I believe imma ace it🤞🏿🙏🙏🙏❤️
You will! Good luck, I believe in you!
Great tips!
Thank you! 🙌🏻
Thanks
I’m a high schooler so I don’t know why I’m watching this lol, I’m considering marketing or digital marketing however I don’t know with what I want to specialize with. Your videos have been useful and gave me a better idea of marketing .
Wow, you’re ahead of your time! I had no idea about marketing when I was in high school! Glad you found it helpful.
I have an interview for a Marketing Manager position in an hour and I’m nervous but excited! 😊 I’m coming back with a positive feedback.
How did it go?
Thank you for this video i have interview on monday for a marketing coordinator position at a shopping mall
You're welcome and good luck Duran!
I sat for a Sales & Marketing campus interview recently and made it to the third and final round. Unfortunately that's as far as I got..
You made some really good points in this video and they've helped me think of new strategies I could implement during the 'preparation' and the 'interview phase.'
Really helpful and enjoyed it a lot. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your content :)
i graduated in june and i’ve been unemployed for almost a year now. i’ve been applying to internships and jobs like crazy but it was very hard to land an interview. i was so depressed and after being fed up with linkedin and indeed, i tried searching “internship graduate” on twitter and i actually found a company that was looking for a marketing and communications intern. after communicating with the hiring manager and supervisor for awhile, i have an interview for the internship tomorrow 😭 i am so stressed because it will be my second interview EVER but also excited for it cause it is a huge opportunity for me. thank you for this video - it helped eased my nerves a lot. i’ll be back to comment on how it went tomorrow! fingers crossed 🤞🏽
omg please do! and hope it went great for you! i can imagine your stress but remember the more comfortable you are, the more your true self shines through. easier said than done, i know. but you got this!!! 💥
@ i just finished the interview and it went so well!!! they asked me every question you had in the video. i’ve made it past the first stage, the second stage is various writing tasks☺️ thank you so much again for all your videos!!!
New to the channel. Great video!!

@ I got the job! The 25th will be my first day of my games marketing internship at EA! The interviewer told me I did a wonderful second interview and I must say it was because of your tips ❤️ made me feel more secure and prepared
In interview we can say in our words by reading and understanding all the research newspapers guide books and plan.
totally - leverage your research and knowledge and blend it naturally in the conversation.
@ Thank You
What other questions have you been asked in marketing job interviews? ⬇️
Waiting for this wonderful video!! I have a few questions 😊👆🏼
yay!! hope you liked it!
Two interviews today: one in an hour!
Hi Elif, thank you for the video, i will have an interview this week and it will help me a lot. i'm quite nervous because i'm not from an english speak country. can you talk a little bit of a mix of nationalities in the marketing companies?
Good luck on the interview Andreia!!
I’ve worked in a global agency where team members were from all over the world and we embraced different cultures and values greatly. But then I also worked in a US based one where there was no diversity at all - i was the only ‘different’ one. I think this should be improving across the board though since companies are increasingly hiring remotely.
Hey there, I just completed my masters in Marketing and i am a complete fresher. So what you think ? Which type of job can i get ? With no experience !!
Hay quá
Never happened in my life but the crazy thing I am not directly acclaimed in Marketing.
Im getting ready for a marketing interview tomorrow. If i have little experience on direct marketing, and the interviewer is asking me on digital and videos marketing?
What you think is important while moving from sales to marketing?
Me watching this 30 mins my interview. Hoping I get in!!
How did it go!? :)
@ I got a call from the manager so we have a second interview!!!! Hopefully I get in.
I wrote my question in the chat 😅🙋🏼♀️
just saw it - sorry I wasn't able to attend the live chat today.
So... your question is about the tech stack. You already mentioned you have experience with some. Can you share what you'd like to learn more about marketing tech and tools?
BTW - did you see this video I shared few weeks ago on the topic - maybe it will help to answer some of your q's? czcams.com/video/V4VlgVVD_64/video.html
Feel free to share what exactly you'd like to learn more about.
Ur a lejend gurl! ❤
🙌🙌
Successes write down
Hi Elif, very helpful video! I had an interview this morning but the interviewer said that we will have a second interview sometime this week. Do you think I should write a thank you email for this interview or should I only wait for the second interview?
Glad you think so! I would send a quick TY note.
Did you get the job!?
Once you got the job, here’s what to do in rhe first 30-60-90 days! Boost your confidence in your new job

My college placements r starting and I'm really nervous about it
Can you share how do you do that market research on competitors and their performances in the market? It's hard to do that level of research of a company
I disagree - it's pretty easy to access all the information that is available on a company these days. A very deep Google and social media search will tell you a lot.
I have my first digital marketing interview today wish me luck ❤
Good luck!! How did it go?
Hi Elif! I have a question, do you think it’s bad to say examples of past jobs instead of your current role? Example, if the interviewer asks me about a time I messed up and I tell him about a time at my previous job instead of my current role. I’ve had a couple of interviews and since my current role isn’t marketing related I don’t run into situations like the ones they ask.
absolutely not a problem. I do that all the time too!
@ thanks for the reply!!😁😁
I recently just got hired as a Digital Marketing Manager. It was three interviews long. After the first interview via Zoom they asked me for some design samples. After sending them I followed up. And then I got scheduled for the phone call interview where I was asked more technical things regarding SEO and KPI's. After that, I followed up 3 days later and sent an additional PDF that outlined my "Digital Marketing Process." Then they scheduled me for the third interview in person and I was offered the position then. :) Whew they made me work for it though! Lol
Fantastic, congrats!! Thanks for sharing the details of your interview process with us. Would you say that you following up rigorously helped to move the needle faster?
@ I would think so. But, I guess the only way I can know for sure is to ask the hiring manager lol I might just do that after I settle into the new position.... Following up is generally a good idea though. You just have to make sure it doesn't come off pesky. When following up I try to always attach a new design I made or piece of copy I've written as a bonus to stand out.
Heyy!! What type of technical questions did they ask??
Did you still happen to have that PDF outlining your digital marketing process anywhere? Would be great if you had any tips on what a typical routine looks like when implementing that process.
Is Google+ the same as Google My Business?
We can say in our own words right
yes, that's how you should do it.
@ thank you so much
What if you weren’t directly given the email address of the executive you interviewed with? But you can figure it out… is that creepy to send a follow up still??
I’d say not! Go for it.
My question is what if you genuinely don’t have an answer to some questions? I’m just starting my career, so I don’t feel like I have too many examples of really making a difference, so I wouldn’t know how to answer a “name a time you solved a problem” type questions
Good question! I would bring up examples that can be relevant from internship, volunteer or school experiences.
