We’ve talked about the jobs you’ll be getting in the past but we haven’t yet talked about the process of getting the jobs, or what you need to do in order to prepare.
Resumes
It’s always good to have a great resume when going for an interview in order to show where you’ve been and what you’ve done. There’s a few ways to build your resumes, there are a few resume builders that can help you build your resume. It can contain what you’ve done in the past, which can include jobs within the media industry or out of it, which is what you interviewer can use to determine your work ethic.
Interviews
On the topic of interviews here’s a few questions you might be asked and some general advice.
- What would you do if there’s down time? The best answer would be: I like to take the initiative and look for other things to work on. When it comes to most jobs there’s always something to do. Even when there’s nothing there is still something.
- Why do you want to work here vs. (Insert other company here)? Just be honest, tell them what you like about this place than the other one.
- What are you expecting out of this position? Just tell them what you can do and what you want to bring to the table.
- They’ll also ask you technical questions like: How do this? or How do you format that? Just answer them correctly. I’m sure you know what you need to do.
- How much experience have you had in “this field”? Preferably they would want greater than the amount they require, but if you have almost as much as they need then there’s a slim chance they might accept you.
- Would traveling suit you? Unless you are in some way obligated to stay put, say yes.
- Are you still interested in this position? You we’re willing to show up, and not cancel so yes.
- Are you sure you want to work in this industry? Yes.
- Why did you leave your last job? Just tell them that you wanted to change your career, or that you wanted to make better use of your skills. Whatever you do don’t put on a show about how much you hated working at retail or anything, it’s unprofessional.
- Did Epstine kill himself? Okay that’s not a real question but you might get those funny joke type questions like: “coke or pepsi?”, those are usually asked post interview because these guys are cool.
So these are the things you need to know about Multimedia interviews. A thing to note is that these questions aren’t just for one type of job, other jobs might actually have the same questions and others would have very different ones. Now get out there and get to work.
You can laugh now.
And by the way, Epstine didn’t kill himself.
