tl;dr -- define what you need this person to do, then ask for specifics of opportunity identification and execution during the interview.

Every resume you submit needs to be uniquely tailored to the job for which you are applying.

A good hiring manager will sp......Read More

The best questions, in my opinion, are the ones that organically come up in the context of our conversation. The kinds of questions where the candidate wants to dig a little deeper into the problems the business is trying to solve for customers or the details around the expectations of the role, ......Read More

Personally, I don't consider those two examples as being "above and beyond" - I consider them as a baseline for any marketing candidate. Ironically, I recently spoke with a former colleague about this very topic and he was in full agreement. If you want to prove to the prospective employer th......Read More
