Interview help!!?

I am supposed to sit for an interview with a Research Consultancy (Branding/Consumer interaction etc.).I have about a years' experience in marketing and thats my total work experience:).I am an MBA. what are they going to ask?any ideas?

Interview help!!?
I cant tell you what they going to ask but what I can say is try to find out on the internet about the company. Interviewers often judge you within 2 mins of you walking in to the interview. A couple of tips are to have clean finger nails, (I got told that even though mine are clean) look them straight in the eye at all times, when you walk in appear relaxed and confident (even if your not) smile, sit up straight and if they ask you what your qualities are then say your reliable, sensible, dependable. Can work in a team or on your own. Tell them your a keen fast learner. If its a group interview do what I do and be the first to answer questions or the first to get up and introduce yourself. That way they notice you first and also that your not waiting around for any one else to go first. Finally if they ask you the question Why should we give you the job? Quickly reply Why not? Then smile and look them in the eye and sit back a little. Thats answered their question quickly and efficiently and youve asked them a question back. Practice infront of the mirror. Good Luck.
Reply:oldfashionedfavourites is right on the ball. I would just add - swot up on everything you can find out about the company (Internet etc.) Just do your own research.





Obvious of course, but make sure you are well turned out, clean and tidy. Your interviewer(s) will be looking at you as a future representative of their company. Don't let yourself down and don't sell yourself short.





Best of luck.

Reply:Firstly, stop worrying about what they're going to ask and start thinking about what you are going to ask them. Put yourself in the driving seat, don't be a shrinking violet almost pleading them to give you a job. Before you go in there, convince yourself you are the most perfect candidate for the job that they are going to come across because first and foremost you are committed to their business and their needs. People don't employ knowledge, they employ confidence and a willingness to adapt, move with the company, learn, develop and work with them towards a shared goal. Keep that in mind and you will get the job. You haven't ONLY had a years experience in this, because every day of your life you will have been exposed advertising, consumerism, marketing etc. Even if the only thing you do is watch TV! Go for it - believe in yourself, have enthusiasm for their company and they will be begging you to join them!


Good luck!
Reply:The interviewers will size you up. They will ask you what can you contribute to the company. Do your homework. Treat this as a final exam for your MBA. Study the company you are interviewing for. Study the job requirements. Be confident, and be prepared. You rarely get a second chance to make a first impression.
Reply:They will ask you how your MBA will benefit you in this job - probably about your work experience, you can easily talk about how your marketing knowledge will help with branding and customer relations - knowing what the public wants etc etc.





Bear in mind they know about your qualifications and experience as they will have seen your application - they must be interested in you otherwise they wouldn't have asked you to interview.





Good luck
