1. Marketing is an expansive term. What area of marketing are you most passionate about?
How to Answer
The interviewer wants to know, if you had to pick one area of marketing to focus on for the rest of your career, what you would choose. The way you respond will show the interviewer more about your core passions. Your response will also help the interviewer to determine if you are a fit for the future direction and vision of the hiring company. If you are not sure of the organization's course when it comes to their future marketing efforts, you should certainly ask.
