Got a preliminary interview tommorow...marketing and sales...help?

Question

Hi Guys
I have an interview tommorow for a company that specialises in sales and marketing. The advert stated it wanted graduates of any subject who have personality and drive to apply for a career in sales, promotions, marketing.
So I did and now I have two different preliminary interviews for 2 different companies tommorow and Im scared. I have only ever worked in admin or retail and have some event management experience when i put on a charity gig.
Some general help on marketing and sales and how my experience in jobs listed above could be helpful.

Answer 1

Marketing and Sales is all about understanding your customer and being able to connect with them.

Give examples of your ability to deal with people, your outstanding communications skills and your practical work experience.

Answer 2

Honestly if they like you and you are able to learn then you be fine, be enthusistac and ask lots of questions, I have been on both sides of interviews and the best ones are the ones that keep rolling with discussion so ask questions about the job about the people and the company goals, if you like the job tell them you think you would be a great fit and that you are excited about the chance to work there! Good luck. Also Sales and marketing jobs REQUIRE an open personality so you must be able to carry on conversations and be friendly! So if you don't have a lot of answers, ask a lot of questions. and good luck!!!

Answer 3

I would interview Gorilla Monsoon. I would ask, " how does a guy from ' parts unknown ' who could only grunt during an interview, rise to an executive level position in the WWE ? Only in America !!!

Answer 4

be yourself be expressive tell them you may need some polish but willing to work very hard. honesty is a great relief to an employer
