Interview Communications Best Practices: Advice from Marketing Agency Leaders

Best Practice Advice

• Research the company and apply this information within your conversations and interactions with team members. 
• Present yourself strongly in your cover letter by reflecting your research about the company and how you align well with the culture.
• Interact with the company's social posts, blogs, and members of the team.
• Be professional in your attire and space (especially if you are remotely interviewing).
• Demonstrate that you fit within company values and qualifications during your interview.
  • Do not oversell your skills, especially if you are less experienced but willing to learn. 
• Rehearse the way you pitch your skills and experience before your interview. Do some mock interviewing with a friend. 
• Ask smart questions, they make lasting impressions! 
  • Know your audience when asking questions. For example, don't ask the CEO an HR question and vice versa. 
• Your interview minutes are precious-  excessive casual conversation robs you of your chance to make a lasting impression!
• Follow up immediately after the interview- write a note to the interviewer and mention high points of your conversation, also reiterate why you would be a great fit for the position!
