Link Advantage Interview Questions
& Process

I found the job online and applied. I had a few questions about what the job would entail. The job is primarily sales with base pay plus a commission pay on top. I read other reviews that say the interview was vague or the manager was vague. I'm not sure what people think a sales and account management position is or why they seem to be surprised when they apply for a sales job and find out that it is ACTUALLY a sales job. Seems pretty up front to me. So whatever. I had a good experience with the company. If previous reviewers felt things were vague or there were "red flags" then maybe they weren't asking intelligent questions?

The interviewer was nice but very condesending. He asked me what I knew of the company, when I said that it was a marketing company that encouraged people to upgrade/ change thier service. He denied this. He made me feel like I did not have any experience in marketing because my marketing experience was not in sales (which I found very rude). After I asked a few more questions about the company I found out that I was correct when I said that they talked to people on the streets. The interviewer made me feel little and I did not deserve this job. I am honestly upset with myself that I did not see that this was a pyramid scheme based on the website. It's not a good sign when the website only talks about why YOU should work for them, but has nothing to do with any actual clients.

The initial steps were quite simple. You arrive, complete a brief form, and then wait to meet with the manager. The interview itself is also very direct, and they clearly explain the role during the meeting. However, their job advertisements are often vague, and the titles they use can be a bit misleading, though not drastically. What they advertise as a 'marketing assistant' or 'event manager' is essentially a role focused on being a product demonstrator in a large retail store. This is perfectly fine if that's your objective, and if your long-term goal is to become a recruiter for other product demonstrators (which is their 'fast-track marketing manager program'). But if you're seeking more traditional marketing work, this might not align with your expectations.

The office was easy to find and the receptionist was nice. I spoke with Justin and we chatted about current campaigns. Then, I was invited back the next day to discuss one of the clients more in-depth. I met with a lead marketing rep who explained daily expectations for that campaign and answered my questions. I then spoke with Justin again and he asked if I liked the sound of the role. I declined the offer because I'm looking for a marketing analysis role I can do from home.
