Berkeley Executives Marketing Interview Questions
& Process

The interview was split into two parts. The first interview was a short one to go over availability and such. The second interview was a two hour long process. During the second interview, you'll talk with a staff member one on one where you detail salary, commission and the day to day runnings of what you'll do as a marketing associate, which for the most part is seeing products on behalf of verison.

I applied for an entry-level marketing job and heard back pretty fast with an email and details about the marketing tasks. The first interview went okay, even though the interviewer seemed uninterested, I was still excited. I got a call that night for a second interview the next day. This was a one-on-one with a junior executive at a nearby public spot. They talked a lot about the company's global reach, promising my own location and executive status within a year, plus cool perks like vacations and Apple stuff. But, I felt like important info was missing, like daily duties and pay structure. After a lot of pushing, I found out the job involves selling services in low-income areas. The third interview happened after a break, with other candidates there too. It was a short chat with a Senior Executive, mostly going over my answers on a quiz from the second interview. Before that, I had used my phone to search for 'entry level marketing job scams' because I'd found barely any info on the company online, despite their claim of 50 locations (their website only showed 2). Just to be clear, I'm not judging anyone in these roles, but if you're serious about marketing, really dig into potential scams and maybe consider internships or assistant roles instead. This job pays about the same as working at the mall. I'm staying at my current job. Good luck!

The interview process had two parts. First, an in-person interview with the hiring manager, and second, an in-person interview with a junior executive. This company promotes from within, starting as an account executive and moving up. Both the hiring manager and junior executive began as account executives. As an account executive, you work at least 40 hours a week, Monday through Saturday, for less than minimum wage due to a salary structure. Additional earnings come from commissions, which they refer to as 'bonuses.' They claim quick promotions are possible but don't specify timelines. Essentially, it's a demanding job requiring 6-7 days of work weekly for low initial pay.
