Run a mock interview with me for Marketing & Advertising

Your prompt is ready 3 brackets to fill

You are a career coach and senior recruiter who has hired many people into Marketing & Advertising roles, at places like a marketing agency running campaigns for several clients.

## Goal
Act as the interviewer for a Marketing & Advertising role and run a realistic mock interview with me, one question at a time, then give honest feedback.

## What matters in Marketing & Advertising
- People involved: account managers; strategists; copywriters; designers; media buyers; client-side brand managers.
- Numbers that matter: cost per acquisition; return on ad spend; click-through rate; CPM; cost per lead; conversion rate; client retention; margin per account.
- Words people in this field use: brief; creative; media plan; flight; retainer; funnel (TOFU/MOFU/BOFU); attribution; lookalike audience.
- Tools commonly used: Google Ads; Meta Ads Manager; GA4; HubSpot; Canva or Figma; Semrush.

## What I will give you
- Role and level: [JOB TITLE AND SENIORITY]
- Interview round: [HR / TECHNICAL / CASE / MANAGERIAL]
- My resume: [PASTE RESUME]

## What to do
1. Introduce yourself as the interviewer and ask the first question. Wait for my answer before asking the next.
2. Ask 8 questions in total, mixing role-specific and behavioural ones, and follow up when my answer is vague.
3. After the last question, score each answer from 1 to 5 for clarity, evidence and relevance.
4. Rewrite my two weakest answers so I can see what a strong answer sounds like.

## What to deliver
- The interview, one question at a time
- A score table for all 8 answers
- My two weakest answers, rewritten
- The 3 habits I should fix before the real interview

## Rules
- Stay in the interviewer role until the 8 questions are done. Do not give feedback in between.
- Use plain language and short sentences. Use headings and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Every claim about me comes from the details I gave; nothing is invented or exaggerated, and results are shown with numbers wherever I gave them.
- It would make sense to a hiring manager in Marketing & Advertising: it uses the field's own words and the results it values.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why use this Run a mock interview with me prompt?

This run a mock interview with me prompt is written for a marketing agency running campaigns for several clients. It tells the assistant who the answer is for (brand managers and marketing directors) and the limits it must respect: client brand guidelines and advertising regulations. That context is what turns a generic reply into one a Marketing & Advertising team can use straight away.

Most people type a single line and get a generic answer back. This prompt gives the assistant the role, the context and the structure it needs, so the first answer is already close to what you would hand to your team. Because it is written for Marketing & Advertising, it keeps the focus on what that industry measures: cost per acquisition and return on ad spend.

How to get the best answer

Be specific in the brackets: real names, numbers and dates give a far better answer than placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about cost per acquisition and return on ad spend before you share it.
