Interview tips
During the interview, test for characteristics, experience and knowledge.
Initial conversations
- Are they curious? Ask: "What was the last thing you taught yourself?" Curious people like to learn.
- Will they get in the weeds? Ask about a time they had limited resources to get a project off the ground. Did they take ownership? Do they remember small details about the project?
- Will they understand your customer? Ask about personal experiences with terrible companies. Good growth marketers will remember details and think about how to improve customer experiences.
