A community relations manager can work in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors. Although some differences exist between the work environments, you can expect to answer questions about your communication style, project management experience and analytical skills.
Here are three top community relations manager interview questions and tips on how to answer them:
How to answer: Make sure you tailor your answer to the organisation. Do your research and include the residents, sports groups, schools and religious organisations. Also mention brand ambassadors, donors, board members, media and advertisers, volunteers, interns, employees, patients and clients, where appropriate.
How to answer: Explain how you would use written elements such as email newsletters or when a visual approach is more appropriate. You can highlight audio or video, but be mindful of any budgetary constraints. Demonstrate your understanding of cultural differences in communication. Your answers should focus on delivering the message and the user experience rather than your enthusiasm for a particular technology.
How to answer: A large part of community relations is managing events or campaigns. The interviewer wants to know that you can set objectives, develop a project plan and deliver a final product. Make sure you mention at least one hurdle and how you overcame it, highlight the teamwork aspect and finish with any lessons learned.

Questioning a candidate during an interview regarding their marital or familiar status is discriminatory. You do not have to answer these questions. When an employer asks such questions during an interview, it a sign that they discriminate based on those factors. A candidate should not be declined a job because (for instance) they have kids. Less
