Video Scripts: Marketing & Advertising Executive

Below is a bank of questions that we have found to be critical pieces of information which bosses want to know about their potential employees.

Select the most appropriate and most flattering questions which will highlight your best attributes and answer them in a comfortable, relaxed way which shows who you really are!

Below the bank of questions we have provided 1 example for each job type but remember, YOU are an individual so make this presentation your own!!

Background:

Companies who wish to hire marketing/advertising representatives are focussed on 2 main things. How can you make them money and can how you create brand awareness. Since you are in the business of selling and highlighting products in an advantageous light, it's only fair that you now pitch yourself in the most effective way so that you yield the results you want. Therefore it is very important to always make sure that your CV and video presentation is reflective of proven results, quantifying your statements as much as possible, an example would be instead of saying that you won an award, you would say what the award was for and what you did that led to you winning the award.


Questions:

  • What is your name?
  • How long have you worked in a marketing/advertising role?
  • Why have you chosen this profession?
  • What would you bring to this role?
  • What sets you apart from other applicants?
  • Were you involved in any major projects or business objectives which were a success?
  • What achievements or awards have you been given since performing these roles?
  • What your previous staff, colleagues have said about you?
