This career-focused toolkit has been designed as a practical resource for candidates who are preparing to interview for a position in social media marketing.

It is geared towards those applying for positions requiring 0–3 years’ experience in the social media specialty. Many people who are applying for entry-level social media positions may already have substantial experience in other areas of digital marketing. Therefore, we recommend that this interview toolkit be used in conjunction with our previous Digital Marketing Interview Preparation Toolkit.

That previous toolkit provides guidance for digital marketing interviews generally, so it should still be used to prepare general opening interview questions, as well as personality and closing questions. It also provides additional tips on how to approach a digital marketing interview. This new toolkit builds upon that, providing specific guidance for competency-based social media marketing questions.

This document includes a list of common interview questions which are specific to the social media specialty, guidance notes on how to approach each question, sample responses, and space for you to write your own notes and prepared responses. You can do this by typing your notes into the document, or alternatively just print it off and write up your notes in the appropriate spaces. 

This provides the perfect template to prepare effectively for an upcoming interview.
