4 GREAT TIPS FOR HELPING YOU TO PASS A CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER (CMO) JOB INTERVIEW!
The following 4 tips are perfect for helping you to pass your Chief Marketing Officer interview at the first attempt.
CMO INTERVIEW TIP #1
The CMO interview will consist of three different types of interview question: motivational, behavioural and research. The behavioural interview questions are the undoubtedly the toughest to answer. Behavioural interview questions will assess your previous experience in marketing roles and how you have dealt with challenges within the workplace. When responding to behavioural interview questions, we recommend you make use of the STAR technique to structure your answers.
Here’s the STAR technique in action:
SITUATION: Explain the situation you were in.
TASK: Outline the task or objective that needed to be done.
ACTION: Give in depth details about the action that you took, and the action others took.
RESULT: Finish off with the results of your actions.
CMO INTERVIEW TIP #2
It is vital you spend some time looking into the opportunities that are present within the industry or sector you are hoping to join. The way to stand out during your CMO interview, is to tell the interview panel what you will do from a marketing perspective within the first 30 days of starting in the role. If the interviewer has a clear idea of how you are going to add value to their organization, you are far more likely to get hired!
CMO INTERVIEW TIP #3
The list of 27 Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) interview questions featured on this page are the ones most commonly asked during CMO interviews over the last 12 months. We strongly advise you prepare answers to all of them.
CMO INTERVIEW TIP #4
At the end of your Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) interview, you will have the opportunity to ask the panel a number of questions of your own. Here are three great questions to ask:
- What has frustrated you about previous company Chief Marketing Officers who’ve worked in this or similar positions?
- What’s the most important thing you’d want me to achieve within the first 3 months whilst in the position of company CMO?
- What are your current organizational strategic goals for the next 5-10 years?
