Navigating the Interview Process (for Job Seekers AND Hiring Managers) | Marketing Happy Hour Co-Hosts Cassie Tucker + Erica Spitzley
This week, Cassie and Erica walk through the interview process from both a talent (job seeker) and brand (hiring manager/HR team) perspective. They've narrowed down their best interview and offer negotiation tips from their years of experience on both sides as well as all of the conversations they've had over the years as mentors to young professionals, with friends in the industry, and among the Marketing Happy Hour community to share in this episode.
Here's what we're diving into:
- Tips for navigating the interview process as a job seeker both in person and over Zoom: the importance of preparation, being presentable and engaged, and showcasing your accomplishments alongside your personality.
- Tips for hiring managers conducting interview processes: the impact of transparency and caring about the talent experience (check out the Alma careers page referenced here), how to navigate assignments, and what to include in your job descriptions to narrow down your applicant pool to the *right* talent.
- Tips for negotiating an offer from the talent side: what you can negotiate outside of salary, and why backing up any negotiation ask with clear quantitative data is important (check out our recent episode with Tori Dunlap of Her First $100K to learn more).
- + For hiring managers: how to ensure your offer will be accepted!
