No matter what marketing position you're applying for, you need to know the basics of some marketing tools, and since a lot of marketing revolves around data, even spreadsheets are considered marketing tools. Think about the marketing programs you've used, including email marketing tools, social media platforms, pay-per-click advertising, SEO tools, or web analytics tools. Discuss how you've used different marketing tools, their purpose, and the success you've had with them.

"While working for my previous employer, I used Mailchimp to reach target markets via email, created pay-per-click ads for clients using Google Ads, and tracked our clients' online presence with Google Analytics. Before devising a marketing campaign for a large insurance company, I used Google Analytics to determine which of the client's web pages were getting the most and least traffic. I found that the client's primary service areas were getting less traffic and didn't rank well for our targeted keywords according to SEMrush. I consulted with the content department to optimize the primary service area pages for better SEO performance."
