After close to 21 years of continuous education (23 if you opt for PG), the biggest challenge any given freshmen would face is when he is uncomfortably seated in a cushioned chair opposite to an interview panel as he begins to shoulder the responsibility of his own needs. One can find even the simplest of interviews a daunting thing and some even have proven to have phobias over the same. The best of best from your school or college do get rejected in spite of their high Cut off marks or their impressive overall academic rankings. Even the experienced candidates often lose their calm in interviews. It’s human tendency to fear over uncertainties in an interview. There are a few ways to tackle this and when it comes attending interviews for DM opportunities, the odds maybe a little bit in your favour.
Here are a few tips and tricks to tackle the DM interviews and get yourself a lucrative career in Digital Marketing.
- To Equality!
The first point you need to register in your mind is that Digital Marketing is relatively new and there is not Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawkins in Digital Marketing till date. This would effectively provide you with a possibility of meeting an interview panel who have the same idea on Digital Marketing as you do. There is no superiority in the ring apart from the age and the designation of the panellist. So you can go in there being yourself, with full of confidence and the sense of having an equally poised discussion more than an interview.
- The Three Rights
When it comes to presenting yourself on your resume, make sure you have them put out keeping in mind the three rights. As digital marketing is a relatively new domain, there is no point in explaining your irrelevant achievements and experience which would disinterest the panellist or the recruiter skimming through various job portals. Instead, follow the three points and have a great show.
Right Header and the Objective: Use the right title for your profiles or the right objective in your resume which would match with the keywords of digital marketing.
Right Points: Make sure you have the listed out the relevant marketing experience/Achievements and skills sets on the first page so that your profile looks a clean match with the digital marketing requirements. This would grab the attention of recruiters and the probability of you being called for digital marketing interviews would be higher.
Right Approach: As mentioned earlier in point 1, you have the same chunk of share in the interview arena as the panellist. Feel free; Feel light and be prepared to sell your profile aggressively. The cat (Digital Marketing) and the lion (Traditional Marketing) are of the same family.
- What, Who and Why
The last point applies to any interview you may want to attend in the near future, regardless of the designation and JD. Take some time to understand “What” the vacancy is about, “Who” the company is and “Why” do you think you can match their requirement. Combining the answers of these three questions would provide you with a positive vibe which would help you crack any questions thrown at you in any interviews. The What – Who – Why theory helps you evaluate your strengths and weaknesses in connection with the opportunity in hand.
Also it is a good Idea to try your hands on a live project in case you are pretty new in the field of Digital Marketing. Many Online marketing agencies like Social Orange provides internship opportunities too.
