1. Application Submission Submit résumé, cover letter, and a 3-sentence "elevator pitch" through their online portal. Applicants must also complete a short marketing scenario: "How would you promote a product launch with a $5,000 budget?" 2. Phone Screen (20–30 min) Conducted by an HR coordinator. Questions focus on availability, salary expectations, and a brief walkthrough of work history. A quirky icebreaker: “If your personality were a marketing slogan, what would it be?” 3. Hiring Manager Interview (45 min) Zoom or in-person with the Marketing Director. Behavioral questions using the STAR method. Technical skills assessment on email campaign platforms (like Mailchimp or HubSpot). Bonus question: “Tell me about a marketing campaign you admire and why.” 4. Skills Challenge (48 hours to complete) Create a one-page marketing campaign proposal for a fictional product. Include email copy, a social post mockup, and a one-paragraph strategy summary. Evaluation is based on creativity, clarity, and alignment with brand tone. 5. Team Panel Interview (60 min) With two marketing team members and one cross-functional team member (from sales or product). Focuses on collaboration style, problem-solving, and how you handle feedback. Fun segment: “We each pick one song for our team playlist—what would you add and why?” 6. Final Interview with VP of Marketing (30 min) A higher-level cultural fit and vision alignment interview. Discussion around career goals and how you’d grow within the company. 7. Offer Stage Verbal offer followed by a formal written offer. Includes optional feedback session regardless of decision outcome. Let me know if you want a different industry, job type, or interview tone (casual, corporate, tech startup, etc.)!
