      Marketing and Advertising Assistant Interview

      May 12, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SGV Marketing (New York, NY) in May 2016

      Interview

      I got the following email: Thank you for applying to SGV Marketing. After carefully reviewing the applicants our Executive Director has an interest to consider you for one of our open Account Manager positions. The typical tasks and duties of an Account Manager include doing quality control, account management, sales, customer service and brand ambassador work for campaigns assigned. Once a person has several campaigns under their belt, they will be trained on how to execute business development for one of our Fortune 500 clients. Based on your resume, our Director believes you may be a desirable candidate for our company. We have recently started working with several new clients, and are looking to fill three of these positions as soon as possible. Our Director would like to schedule an in person one on one meeting to discuss your background, experience and pay expectations. ________________________________________________________________________ I went in for an interview later on that day.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Before the interview they gave us a weird form, with a bunch of boxes each containing 4 character traits. It looked like this: You are: A) Persistent B) Outgoing C) Introverted D) Determined Next to each trait you put "Most" and "Least". There were about 25 of these boxes, after completing the form they ask you to add up the total number of letters you scored in each category. For example MOST: A__ 11 B__ 2 etc This may sound insignificant, albeit strange, but it's worth mentioning because I believe this was more important than the actual interview. It had nothing to do with being an account manager and certainly nothing to do with a Marketing and Advertising Assistant (which I found on Linkedin). As others have mentioned this is all about door to door solicitation, regardless of what you actually go into the office under the pretense for. They're hoping you mark "Most" in boxes that demonstrate that you will be a good salesman in the field.

      Thank you for your feedback. The personality test is just a simple way for us to see what position the candidate would be a good fit for and also allows us to pair them up with someone of a similar personality. The personality test is just a small factor in our hiring process. In fact, the actual interview and interaction with the staff hold the most weight. We hire people that show they are extroverted, decisive, hard-working and team players.
