Do you enjoy networking? Why is networking important to you as a marketer?
Networking, sales, marketing, oh my! As a talented marketer, you know the importance of having a secure network to rely on for new clients, helpful resources, deals you can pass onto your clients, and more. Briefly discuss with the interviewer how well networked you are in your industry, and what you do to remain relevant in the marketing space. If you attend related events, conferences, or are part of any associations or masterminds; be sure to mention this involvement. If you are new to your career you can discuss the ways you plan to network and build a strong foundation as you enter this profession.
"I fully understand the importance of networking and getting to know others in the industry, primarily in this region. I am part of the Chicago American Marketing Association Chapter and have been so for a couple of years. This association is actually how I heard about this job opportunity so the networking has certainly benefitted me already!"
"As a recent marketing graduate, I am fully aware of the importance of networking and getting my name out there in the industry. I plan to attend more Chamber of Commerce meetings this year and just purchased a personal annual membership. I believe that once I land a great job, I should be networking on behalf of my new company as often as possible."
"The art of networking has helped me gain many important experiences, relationships, and opportunities throughout the years. I am a huge fan of in-person and online marketing. I currently run a group on LinkedIn with about 1,000 members. It's called 'LinkedIn for Marketing Professionals in Chicago.' I learn a lot from the member questions, and member supplied answers and have met many amazing clients and fellow marketers through the group. I believe that leading the group has positioned me as a recognizable name in the marketing sector in our area, which will continue to benefit my future employer in return."
