I have an interview on Tuesday and it's bigger than anything I've done before and perhaps I can get some help from both web and interview expert? Basically I will be working for an IT company in their advertising division. They have given me a specific task for the second interview - to come up with a presentation which holds an advertising strategy for a web site. In this case they want me to use moneysupermarket.com as an example (I would be working on a rival company they cannot tell me who they are at the moment). However, I am mainly good at code so whenever I have had to advertise or optimise a site I have worked mainly on cleaning code and linking the site well within itself in order to improve google rankings. However, I am not allowed to change the code of content of the site. So at the moment I feel a bit limited in my options - what else can I do? I can only think of trying to trade/sell links to other sites which are related or sites which offer financial advice. OR just submitting to more and specialised search engines. They also seem to be very keen to know more about my creative writing skills though I'm not sure at which point I should do this. I feel that I would be good for the job, specially from a coding point of view (which they know about and are therefore not testing me here) but at the same time I don't know whether I can instantly give them a good advertising and marketing view from this one second interview. Hmmm.... help would be appreciated as I do want this job! Alex.
I suppose you could also do this: Go to various financial/price comparison forums and talk about the website. Try to find websites, magazines, etc.. which offer awards (like editor's choice, users choice, etc..) and offer the website as a contestant. Advertise in trade magazines. and *gasp* SPAM.
