1st Answer Example
"My co-workers would describe my attention to detail as very strong. I can very easily point out spelling discrepancies in communication and will notice the small things. I think big-picture as well but have always had a knack for details."
2nd Answer Example
"My attention to detail is a point that I have been working on a lot this past year. I am meticulous but, in the past, have pushed some of my university documentation and papers back a little bit. It's something I am conscious of and continually working on."
4. Do you know anyone who works for us?
How to Answer
Did you know that people with a friend at work are 7x more likely to engage in their work fully? (Source: Forbes) The interviewer would like to see if a friend referred you to this position, a former co-worker, or an industry acquaintance. This question is another way of the interviewer asking where you heard about the role, and if you have any connections from within. Warner Music may also have employee referral programs. You can keep your answer brief and to the point.
1st Answer Example
"I am friends with a professional recruiter who recommend that I check out your company's job postings. She mentioned that you had an excellent reputation and that everyone she has placed with your company has seen long tenure."

5. Have you ever been advised by a fellow employee or supervisor to lie about a situation? How did you handle this ethical dilemma?
How to Answer
Warner Music would like to know how you would handle an ethical dilemma. Ethical dilemmas in the workplace will come up from time to time. Assure the interviewer that you can control these types of difficulties with professionalism and poise.
1st Answer Example
"Oh goodness, we all know in marketing and media that this happens all the time. People want to lie about stats, overdo projections, or overpromise on deadlines. I would never cave to that pressure. Aside from being dishonest, it doesn't do anybody any favors in the end."
2nd Answer Example
"I have never been told to lie to a fellow employee or supervisor on the job. If I were to be asked to lie, I absolutely would not do that. I am not the type of personality to be pushed around on the job. I will always be myself and keep my integrity first."
6. What kind of people do you enjoy working with?
How to Answer
Company culture is a significant factor when looking for a new position. Talk to the interviewer about the types of personalities with which you best work. Be sure to remain positive and avoid using this as an opportunity to speak poorly of previous colleagues.
Think of a few traits that co-workers should have, and include that in your answer. Such as, motivated to succeed, enjoys collaborating with others, and passionate about their careers.
1st Answer Example
"I best enjoy working with driven individuals, people who are positive, energetic, and take accountability for their work. I do have the ability to work with a large variety of individuals; however, these are the ideal traits I would see in future colleagues."
2nd Answer Example
"I enjoy working with people who are driven to succeed, but not at the expense of others. I want to be around people who pick each other up and keep the team moving."
7. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your technical abilities?
How to Answer
Warner Music would like to know how you rate your technical skills. Likely, they will mention specific tech skills in the job posting or job description. First, on a scale of 1-10, discuss how skilled are you in their tech requirements. Try to avoid giving yourself a 10, since nobody is perfect, and you do not want to come across as overly confident or someone who has no room for feedback and improvement. Alternately, avoid giving yourself too little credit. You do not want to paint the picture that you are a tech dud! Try to remain in the 7.5-9.5 range while staying honest and accurate. Be sure to list which programs, apps, or systems in which you shine!
1st Answer Example
"I rate my technical skills as a 9/10 as I will, on occasion, have times when I am not as savvy as I would like to be. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my ability to pick up new tech very easily. I would say I'm strongest in Slack for team messaging and the entire Microsoft Office suite."
2nd Answer Example
"I will rate myself an eight because I value strong technical capabilities but, just like most people, I have things to learn. My strongest technical skills are in the Microsoft Office suite including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint."
8. What is your personal mission statement?
How to Answer
The interviewer would like to know if you have a personal motto or mantra. Not everyone has a mission statement or personal mantra just off the cuff. In business, especially when entering leadership, this is an important question to ponder. Do you have a quote that inspires you or a saying that you grew up with that resonates with you?
1st Answer Example
"My mission is always to be a person in business that others can look up to. It is important to me that I create a legacy of integrity."
2nd Answer Example
"I heard a funny mantra the other day, 'I want to be the kind of person my dog already thinks I am.' As cute as it is, it is true. I want to be kind-hearted to my co-workers, understanding, and reliable."
9. When a significant problem arises, what is your first reaction?
How to Answer
The interviewer at Warner Music wants to know if your reactions to problems reflect maturity and professionalism. How you react will significantly determine how you fit with their existing team.
Perhaps your computer crashes, and you realize you may have just lost all of your hard work. Or maybe you are limited on time and have a deadline rapidly approaching. Demonstrate to the interviewer that you take a very systematic approach to problem-solving, rather than reacting impulsively when a problem occurs.
1st Answer Example
"Depending on the situation, I will gather my resources and team and collaborate on making the necessary happen on a shortened timeline so that we can deliver our results in the most efficient manner possible. Usually, we learn something about ourselves, the team, or a more effective approach to the next problem in the process."
2nd Answer Example
"When a major problem arises, my first instinct is to jump in and fix the issue. I am a do-er and also think in a reverse-engineering manner. I start with the desired result and work my way backward. From there, I figure out where the snag occurred."
10. Tell me about a time that you naturally took on a leadership role without being asked. Did you enjoy being a leader? Were you happy with the outcome?
How to Answer
The interviewer would like to know if you have a natural ability and desire to be a leader, or if you prefer to be a follower. Being a leader gives us a different perspective and allows you to grow in your views. Explain that you enjoy helping others develop, while learning things yourself, and show that you are the type of leader that hopes to inspire others.
1st Answer Example
"Our marketing director was unexpectedly out of the office on a family emergency for two weeks. I volunteered to take on her role because I knew it well and had been there the longest. I encouraged collaboration with the team, divided tasks evenly, and incorporated daily team meetings to ensure that we were on the right track and that no detail slipped by us. When the director returned, she ended up implementing a couple of my processes and complimented me on my dedication to the team and agency. It felt amazing to be a leader."
2nd Answer Example
"Being new to my career, I did not consider myself a natural leader; however, when we recently had a new intern join the admin team, I took her under my wing. I wanted to see her succeed, so I took her out for lunch, explained the office dynamics, and encouraged her to ask questions. It feels terrific to share my knowledge."
11. Have you ever worked in a cross-functional environment?
How to Answer
Working for a large company such as Warner Music Group, you will be asked to work on a project with teams from another department. Your ability to work with cross-functional teams will be a significant asset.
Maybe you headed a project which required you to collaborate with the members of the sales teams. You may have had the opportunity to organize a volunteer activity or team building exercise, company-wide. Share any challenges that came up and what you learned from the experience.
1st Answer Example
"Exposure to cross-functional teamwork in my current position is widespread. I believe that when expectations are communicated clearly from the beginning, a cross-functional team project can be very successful. I go into these types of projects with an understanding that everyone has their strengths and limitations based on their expertise and job function."
2nd Answer Example
"Nearly every project that I submit, as a 4th-year university student, is in collaboration with another group of students. I like this because it creates a broader resource base and encourages teamwork."
12. Why should Warner Music Group hire you?
How to Answer
Interviewers at Warner Music want to hear about that one unique skill that sets you apart from the other candidates applying for this job. Think of your answer as your 'elevator pitch' or your qualifying statement. If you can't think of ways that you are unique, ask a few friends or family members what they feel sets you apart from other people. Their observations may help you understand how you are perceived.
Perhaps you already know what sets you apart! This skill could include any industry accolades, exceptional achievements, new music or entertainment related training, a second language, or how involved you are in the community. Don't be afraid to brag about yourself a bit. In an interview, you are your most influential advocate.
1st Answer Example
"I know that my years in sales, freelancing as a marketer, and working on different marketing campaigns have prepared me to be a great asset to your team. I believe that I am the best fit for the role because of my experience, passion for media marketing, and more specifically, excitement for music and entertainment. Having been an avid fan of many of your artists, I know that I will be able to bring more fire and energy to the role than my fellow applicants, and am certain that I am the right fit for your team."
2nd Answer Example
"You should hire me because of the qualifications I bring through my recent degree in Entertainment Law. I am passionate about the music industry and the rights of artists and recording labels, alike. I am excited about the idea of delivering value to Warner Music Group."
13. What are your 3 favorite forms of entertainment?
How to Answer
The interviewer at WMG would like to know the types of media and entertainment that you enjoy consuming regularly. Talk to the interviewer about your favorite forms of entertainment and be sure to include why they are your favorite.
1st Answer Example
"My favorite forms of entertainment have always been reality tv, YouTube, and celebrity-based news. I find that these forms of entertainment spark my creativity and keep me informed on trends in the media."
2nd Answer Example

14. What do you think about the future of record labels?
How to Answer
Since you are interviewing at Warner Music Group, it would be in your best interest to prepare some positive statements on record labels and their future outlook. Record companies have been around since the dawn, but there has been a lot of chatter regarding their footing in the entertainment industry. Speak to the interviewer about where you believe record labels will be, in the future.
1st Answer Example
"I believe that record labels are a must for any serious artist and, because of that, companies like Warner Music aren't going away. What we will be doing is pivoting our focus more digitally than we ever have before. The competition will continue to be fierce when it comes to online and social marketing efforts for artists; however, I am ready and prepared to bring the ingenuity and grit that it takes to remain a stand-out in the entertainment industry."
2nd Answer Example
"I see record labels relying less on dollars for records sold and more on royalties from streaming services, merchandise, and endorsements. I also foresee changes when it comes to ownership of intellectual property. Artists have more tools available to them to control outcomes now - many more than they had in the 1990s for instance. In the future, I see a healthier collaboration between record labels and their artists."
15. What are some of the biggest challenges you would expect a record label or entertainment company to come across?
How to Answer
There is a lot of discussion surrounding record labels and the need for them in our ever-changing digital world. Some of the challenges that Warner Music Group may be facing today include:
- Streaming services gaining market leverage
- Artists becoming more educated and demanding more from their label
- Difficulty adapting to changing digital environments
- Loss of control when it comes to recording and distribution options
- Significant loss of revenue over the years
Discuss in a positive light, the issues that WMG may be facing, and how you believe they have been overcoming these challenges.
1st Answer Example
"I believe that the digital world is changing the record label game at a fast pace. I think that the biggest challenge is keeping up to date with these changes, and pivoting quickly enough to remain relevant. From what I have seen, Warner Music Group has fought hard and won when it comes to maintaining relevancy in this industry. You have done so by signing artists that have blown up in the past few years such as Cardi B."
2nd Answer Example
"From what I have observed while preparing for this interview, one of the biggest challenges a record label faces today are the streaming services out there who are gaining market leverage and creating a loss of revenue for labels and artists. I believe that Warner Music Group has overcome this through brand loyalty as well as the fact that you have signed artists with a highly loyal fan base."
16. How does your post-secondary education apply to the music and entertainment industry?
How to Answer
The interviewer would like to know more about your post-secondary education, and how it will benefit Warner Music, should you be hired. Expand on what you already have laid out on your resume and be prepared to discuss how particular coursework will translate well into this role.
If you bring post-graduate work experience, give examples of how your education has helped you succeed in your career up to this point.
If you are a recent graduate, you could choose to discuss one or two classes that equipped you with skills you can apply to this job.
1st Answer Example
"I have a Masters' in Law and Entertainment which gave me top-notch industry knowledge from the start of my career. The courses I took helped me to develop skills in short and long-term strategic planning in this competitive industry. I also learned a great deal about project management, performing arts, and cultural entrepreneurship."
2nd Answer Example
"I recently completed a series of courses geared for entertainment management and artist relations. These courses will round out my Business Law degree, offering me a balanced perspective on entertainment and the law. I look forward to applying what I have learned in this role with Warner Music Group."
17. Where do you find new music?
How to Answer
It is essential to the interviewer that you bring a keen and genuine interest in the music and entertainment industry. Warner Music Group works hard for their artists to gain exposure to new fans, through multiple platforms. Talk to the interviewer about where you go most frequently to find new music. Try to add some variety into your answer by discussing resources such as articles, blogs, charts, or even music magazines.
1st Answer Example
"I like to hear about new artists through a variety of resources. First, I subscribe to the Warner Music blog where I get articles and information on newly signed talent and up and coming artists. I have been a long-term reader of Billboard magazine as well."
2nd Answer Example
"I like to learn about new music through podcasts such as 'The Ongoing History of New Music' where they feature '5 songs you must hear this week.' Sources like this one give me exposure to indie artists I may not typically hear of. I also read a couple of online mags such as Billboard and Vibe."
18. Warner Music Group has an illustrious client list which includes the best of Hollywood. How will you remain professional in the presence of the world's hottest celebrities?
How to Answer
Whether you are starting in the mailroom, and working your way into an agent role with Warner Music, or you bring years of experience in the entertainment industry, the interviewer needs assurance that you will always act appropriately and professionally in the face of fame. At WMG, you will be privy to information and access to Hollywood celebrities. Discuss how you will remain professional no matter who you are working alongside.
1st Answer Example
"Celebrities are talented people; however, they are still just people at the end of the day. Rest assured, I would treat my clients with respect, give them the privacy they need, answer to their needs, and be a trusted point of contact."
2nd Answer Example
"From my understanding, Warner Music represents talent such as Kid Rock and Led Zeppelin. I grew up in LA, so celebrity sightings are nothing new for me. It's important that, even in the presence of the worlds' hottest celebrities, I maintain my cool while respecting their privacy and personal space."
19. What are your career goals in the next 3-5 years with Warner Music Group?
How to Answer
Assure the interviewer that you are interested in forging a long-term career with them by discussing the career path you foresee if hired. What are your career goals and how do you hope to achieve them, with Warner Music?
1st Answer Example
"In the next few years I would like to move into a more serious leadership function. In my current company, there is little room for growth which is why I feel that working for Warner Music would fit into my long-term career goals. I want to work for you and grow into a leadership role with your organization."
2nd Answer Example
"5 years from now, I would like to be supervising or managing a team of my own. I feel like I am progressing at a rate that will make this a possibility."
20. In your opinion, what is the most influential form of media today?
How to Answer
Musical entertainment is a highly influential form of media. Have a meaningful conversation with the interviewer on media influence. With so many types of media out there, which do you feel is the most influential at the moment? Be sure to back your answer.
1st Answer Example
"I feel that the most influential form of media today is social media and online content. As a whole, the human race wants fast, easy to consume, entertainment news. Our rate of consumption is unprecedented, and the fastest way to access it is through online content sharing."
2nd Answer Example
"There are many important forms of media today - so many, in fact, that people seem to be getting overwhelmed. I would still say that traditional media, in the form of television and the daily news, is at the top when it comes to the number of people influenced and the quality of the content being distributed."
21. Talk about a recent entertainment campaign that caught your eye.
How to Answer
Warner Music puts big dollars into marketing and promoting their artists. The interviewer wants to see that you understand the difference between a mediocre campaign and an effective one. Think about the latest entertainment advertisement that you saw, heard, or witnesses. Why did it catch your eye, and what made it so memorable. Be sure to show the interviewer your enthusiasm for marketing and promotions.
1st Answer Example
"I believe that the best marketing campaigns are ones where the artists meet their fans where they are. One example of this that I find unforgettable is DJ Khaled's use of Snapchat. Here, he talks about his path to happiness which has made him a voice in internet culture. Aside from his music, Khaled is now known for his catchphrases like 'I appreciate you' and 'You the best.' His loyal following has remained and he continues to broaden his reach."
2nd Answer Example
"One campaign that has stuck with me is one from Lee Scott, a hip-hop artist from the UK. When he dropped his album, he first released an exclusive premium version to 100 fans. Later, he created an exclusive bundle pack and charged even more for the next 100 fans. Lastly, upon general release, he charged premium rates by including merchandise into the packs. This slow-release strategy picked up a lot of PR and created a great amount of anticipation among his fan base."
22. Name three artists you believe will have a breakthrough this year.
How to Answer
The interviewer wants to see that you follow the music industry and that you have a genuine interest in what they do at Warner Music Group. If possible, come prepared to discuss artists from WMG. This type of example will show the interviewer that you have done your homework on Warner Music and who they represent.
1st Answer Example
"Three artists under Warner Music Group, whom I believe will have a breakthrough this year include {list some hot new artists}. The marketing efforts put into their latest releases and the fact that they have had successful collaborations with other artists on your label are strong indicators of future success."
2nd Answer Example
"The artists that have caught my eye this year include {list some hot new artists}. I think it's great that Warner Music Group has put a lot of emphasis on finding new and diverse talent throughout multiple musical genres. I look forward to seeing these artists flourish in their careers."
23. Who are considered the 'Big 3' record labels, and how does Warner Music Group compete?
How to Answer
The 'Big 3' record labels include:
- Sony BMG
- Universal Music Group
- and, of course, Warner Music Group
These three record labels own nearly 80% of the music market. Since you are interviewing for Warner Music Group be prepared to discuss the other competition. How do they compete with each other to have the best talent in the music and entertainment industry?
1st Answer Example
"Sony BGM, Universal Music, and Warner Music make up the 'Big 3' in the music industry. I believe that the best way WMG competes with their competitors is to work hard to sign the worlds' most celebrated artists to their core label. This approach includes being competitive when it comes to what you offer the artist. Also, working hard to scout hot new talent is a significant factor in your ability to remain ahead of your competitors."
2nd Answer Example
"The big three record labels are Sony BGM, Warner Music Group, and Universal Music Group. Together, these three hold 80% of the music market. As one of the 'Big 3', the best way to remain competitive is to continue gaining access to the world's core talent and signing them to your primary label. The second part of this strategy is to be the first to find and sign hot new talent."
24. With which sector of the music and entertainment industry are you least experienced?
How to Answer
Similar to, 'What is your greatest weakness?', this question asks you to disclose the area where you are the least knowledgeable. It's essential that you highlight the area where you are least experienced while still showing the interviewer that you are confident in your ability to learn.
1st Answer Example
"When it comes to the music and entertainment industry, unions, and guilds are the areas where I am least experienced. I am aware that many artists are part of a union; however, I am not entirely sure how those union agreements impact the work done here at Warner Music Group. I am eager to learn the inner workings of topics such as this."
2nd Answer Example
"I am least experienced when it comes to entertainment law both locally and internationally. I have performed some research and read many articles; however, I feel it will take more dedication from me to grasp the complexities of entertainment law."
25. Who is your favorite band or musician, represented by Warner Music Group? Why are they your favorite?
How to Answer
Having an answer to this means that you have to have conducted a fair amount of research on Warner Music Group before going into your interview. Think of the music that you listen to the most, and be sure WMG represents them. You can chat a bit about why you like this band or musician, and what you hope to see more of, from them, soon. Be sure to exude positivity and enthusiasm in your response!
1st Answer Example
"My favorite musician represented by Warner Music Group would be Coldplay and Ed Sheeran. I like them because of their longevity in the music industry, and the fact that they can reinvent their look and sound often enough that keeps them relevant without losing their original fan base. They write a lot of their own music which is a big likability factor, in my opinion."
2nd Answer Example
"Warner Music Group has signed Cardi B, and I cannot get enough of her music lately! I appreciate how transparent and real she is on her social media platforms. It's fun to engage with her, and her fiercely loyal fan base called the Bardigang. Many artists could learn solid lessons from her and how she engages her following."
26. What could Warner Music Group do to increase record sales for our lesser-known artists?
How to Answer
Warner Music knows very well how to promote their lesser-known artists; however, they want to see if you can think creatively. The way you respond will also show the interviewer what you know about record labels and how things operate in the music and entertainment business. Discuss how you would use the marketing trends of today to boost new artists' exposure.
1st Answer Example
"The internet has opened endless possibilities when it comes to new artist promotion. If I were to put a plan into place for increasing record sales for lesser-known artists, I would begin with social media marketing efforts on YouTube and Instagram; primarily with Instastories. I would also seek out a collaboration between the new artist and a better-known artist from the Warner Music label."
2nd Answer Example
"The opportunities that we have today when it comes to reaching potential new fans is remarkable. I would begin by reaching out to music blogs, podcasts, and online magazines who need to put out fresh content. I would pitch a feature on the up and coming artist and then roll with the momentum from there, approaching more digital media sources."
27. The world of entertainment never sleeps. Are you willing to work long hours, evenings, weekends, and holidays?
How to Answer
The interviewer wants assurance that you understand the work at Warner Music Group isn't just schmoozing, attending celebrity events and being a part of posh promotions. Working for a record label is hard work and requires grinding into the nights, weekends, and on holidays. Assure the interviewer that you are ready for this commitment.
1st Answer Example
"I currently work 60+ hour work weeks with a 24/7 cell phone and am on my email most of the day. I am prepared to work long and hard hours, doing what it takes to succeed in the entertainment industry."
2nd Answer Example
"As a recent graduate, I am well equipped and highly prepared for the fact that I need to work demanding weeks and long hours, to rise above the rest in this competitive industry."
28. How would you market an artist when you do not enjoy their work?
How to Answer
Without explicitly discussing any artists that you do not care for, try talking more about the approach you would take if Warner Music Group asked you to help market them. Setting your musical tastes or personal preferences aside, would you work hard to ensure this artist got the most out of their record deal?
1st Answer Example
"I understand that not everyone at Warner Music will like absolutely every talent that is signed. That's just part of the job, and it's good to have preferences when it comes to taste in music. That's part of what makes us unique. If I were asked to market an artist whom I did not particularly enjoy, I would work just as hard to market and promote them as if they were my all-time favorite. Through the process, I would likely develop a new appreciation for the work!"
2nd Answer Example
"My personal preferences would never have an impact on how hard I would work for an artist signed with Warner Music Group. Whether I enjoy their work or not, it's my job to help them succeed, create profit opportunities for the label, and operate at 100% capacity every day."
29. What is your favorite source for entertainment news and industry updates?
How to Answer
The interviewer wants to see that you have a thumb on the beat of what's happening in the music industry. Warner Music Group needs to hire people who are curious and want to know what's going on minute-to-minute, always knowing which trends and topics to follow. Discuss how you remain up to date in the industry by mentioning a few different tools and resources.
1st Answer Example
"First and foremost, I follow Warner Music on Twitter for important live updates on what's happening in music entertainment news. I also follow a lot of top artists on Instagram, and I read Billboard magazine regularly. I fully understand the importance of being up to date on entertainment news and industry happenings."

"My top sources for entertainment news are all of the music awards! I watch the Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, the Grammy's, the MTV Music Awards and more. Also, I follow many top artists and labels on social media which provides me with up to the minute entertainment news."
30. From your knowledge, what is the primary purpose of a record label?
How to Answer
Record labels such as Warner Music Group have a few purposes which include:
- Marketing of recorded music
- Marketing of music videos
- New artist recruitment & development
- Music publishing
- Copyright enforcement
- Distribution
Discuss what you believe to be the primary purpose of a record label.
1st Answer Example
"I believe the purpose of a record label is to coordinate the production and manufacturing of a musical artist or band's work. A label will then lead efforts in marketing, promotion, and distribution. Copyright enforcement on behalf of the artists, their songs, and their videos is also a large part of a record label's job. Lastly, record labels and their scouts actively work on talent scouting and the development of new artists."
2nd Answer Example
"The primary purpose of a label is to sign talented artists and then represent their work. These efforts could include marketing, campaigns, promotions, and even distribution. A record label also works hard to protect copywritten material on behalf of the artists."
