I'm going to the final round of an interview for a place that does SEO & SEA, and they will be giving me a "brief" exam on SEA (my weaker realm of experience, amongst the two). I'm pretty sure that the candidate who gets the highest grade will be getting this job. Could you please either let me know, in your opinion, what kinds of questions could possibly be on an exam like this, or of any good sites I should study for the next two days? Tests are my weak point, so this is already making me nervous. I can't guess at how basic or involved the questions will be, but the position only requires about a year of experience in SEA. I have this, but have never done anything along the lines of tracking ROI or other intricate features that services like Adwords has. I began by studying Google's learning center (http://www.google.com/adwords/learningcenter/) but the amount of information here is overwhelming. Thanks
I get nervous on exams also. What helps me is to try to know as much as I can. Sounds like you've been working at the learning center and that is a great resource. If you have access to an adwords account, its a good idea to get some hands on experience there while you are learning about adwords. The Learning Center begins to click a little easier that way. Take the adwords quizzes. Also, do you have any techniques that relax you? I close my eyes for a few seconds and just try to clear my mind and let my stress sink out of my body. When I feel its gone, I begin a test. Also, its always good to go with the first gut answer. If you have time, come back and check your answer. Good luck and I hope you get the job.
Hi Go to http://www.e-marketing.org.uk/seo/seo-tips-tricks.aspx. This actual page will be of use but go to the bottom and you will find a page specifically on interview questions. I think the most important thing for an interview is the stats you show your potential employer
